Pilates Heartcore

For the past three years, my wife and I have been doing Pilates with Katie's Studio. I am a 70 year old guy and I feel better now than I did when I was in my 50’s. My lower back and hips were often tight, stiff, and sore. Like most people, I was in a few accidents when I was younger. In my 20’s, I began seeing a chiropractor, and in my 50’s, I started getting massages. Usually this brought relief, but it was temporary. Our daughter, who attends Katie's studio, explained how Pilates strengthens your body and tightens your core. My wife began five years ago and kept telling me how better she felt. We live in Iowa and are only able to go to Katie’s studio when we are visiting California. So we are grateful that she offers online classes. I started doing online Pilates twice a week. Within a few weeks I noticed that I felt better. After a year - Wow, this really works! I noticed big improvements. After three years, I feel awesome! I believe that since my muscles and body had not been used correctly for so long, they didn’t know what normal was. Pilates retrained them. I notice that I walk differently and stand up straighter, and seldom have hip pain. Pilates with Katie (and Heather) has been a huge benefit for me! REMEMBER - Katie offers two online Virtual-Mat sessions each week. And online classes are only 1/2 credit. These are great classes that you can do at home. - Sundays at 11:00, taught by Katie - Thursdays at 10:30, taught by Heather

I've been going to Pilates Heartcore for almost a year and a half. I love all the trainers! They sparkle with irreverent humor while leading thoughtful workouts. I feel so fortunate to have found this studio. The owner has created a top-notch business, with a clean, spacious and well-organized program. The web site is easy to use for scheduling. Most importantly, I feel good when I go to class and feel lasting benefits in my posture, strength and we-being.

I've been a customer of Pilates Heartcore for over 6 years now, and they are simply the best. When I started I was looking to improve flexibility and core strength after decades of back and joint issues. And Katie and her team of instructors helped me make real improvements in my quality of life over the years, despite my physical challenges. They take into account my limitations and help me get the most I can out of the practice. They are all wonderful people who will work with you and respect the time and effort you put in, as long as you respect the time and effort they put in. If you are looking to start learning Pilates, there is no better place to learn. If you already practice Pilates and want to good place to keep up and advance, this is the place. If you are a strong practitioner, I'm sure the more advanced classes will push you more than hard enough.

So over that pasts months, I have been in the process of getting myself into better shape. I have dropped 75 pounds since February of this year, and wanted another modality of exercise other than the gym. I have challenges with my knees and rotator cuff on both sides, and Katie said "no problem" we can work with that. I have looked at many various Pilates studios and decided on Pilates Heartcore. My intro class with Katie was NEXT LEVEL. She was kind, patient and knew what she was doing. That said, I signed up for a package of classes and my first class with Lyndsie was WOO WOO! If the other instructors are like my first two I am so good. I think I have found a new home. Thank you for having this studio and making Pilates FUN! Kind Regards, Gil

I love Heartcore Pilates, the owner Katie and all the instructors. Katie keeps the studio Extremely clean (like you can eat off the floor type of clean) and ensures everyone understands the expectations. She is funny and encouraging and knows her stuff!!! I often share her funny anecdotes with my husband and I appreciate her honesty and openness with her students. Everyone in my circle knows not to mess with my Saturday morning class schedule. I get grumpy when I can't attend my BURN class. I've had other instructors as well and they are great. If you are in the Rancho Cordova, Anatolia, Mather area, it is close by and easy to get to. I know others that travel a distance to get there. I HIGHLY recommend!!!
