The Core Lab | Cypress Pilates

I did Pilates years ago and just got back into it! I signed up for their monthly membership and it has been a game changer for me. I really look forward to coming every week to class. All of the instructors are welcoming, very helpful and will push you to do your very best. What i love the most is the full body workouts!

I am obsessed with The Core Lab. I’ve done some Pilates reformer classes at other Pilates studios, however — TCL is exactly what they say on their website… “This isn’t your traditional Pilates. This is Pilates. Elevated.” Elevated is RIGHT (or maybe the word ‘torture’ should be included in this). The best workout mixing Pilates and Strength. I get humbled almost every class, which is exactly why I want to keep coming back every week. Such great instructors, such a great atmosphere! 10/10

Wow this studio is so much fun and challenging! I am visiting from out of town and signed up for a 3 class pack. I’ve been doing Pilates with a Balanced Body Allegro 2 reformer at my home studio for a few years and also go to a Lagree studio, but The Core Lab is a perfect hybrid of the two. I’ve never used the XFormer before, but the quality is excellent and better than the Lagree megaformer in my opinion. It’s a smoother ride and the upholstery is higher quality. The moves are similar with Pilates and Lagree. They use the same names for lots of different moves. Now I’m googling finding an XFormer studio in my city! I’m definitely coming back here when I visit my family here in Cypress.

I’ve been attending Pilates sessions at Core Pilates for almost 2 months, and it's been an amazing experience! The coaches I’ve taken classes with are fantastic. Kim is wonderful. Her voice is like velvet, and she has this super calm, didactic way of teaching that makes every session so soothing and easy to follow. I always leave her class feeling relaxed and accomplished. Denise is the one who will really push you to your limits. She doesn’t let you take it easy, and you definitely feel the burn in the best way possible. If you want a serious workout, she is your go-to. And Perla, she is awesome for challenging workouts that don’t feel overwhelming. Her classes are tough, but she never puts unnecessary pressure on you. It's all about pushing yourself at your own pace, and it's super rewarding. I have been fortunate enough to have 1-on-1 sessions with all of them at the beginning of my Pilates journey, and this helped me a lot. Overall, my experience at Core Pilates has been fantastic. Highly recommended!

Honestly, this place is not worth the money. For workout studios, the most important aspect is the skilled and trained instructors. The instructors here HEAVILY lack that. Yes they may be strong and their forms are great but they still need to know how to TEACH. They also do not do a consultation or do a solid run down of how the machine works for newcomers thus leading to risk of injuries. They also do not tell you that grip socks are required until an hour or so before class - which does not leave you with enough time to order or buy. Instead, they’ll charge you almost $20 for a pair of mediocre quality socks. I almost slipped and fell because the size of socks they sold were too big. Other studios I’ve tried have always given free equipment/clothing rentals for trial customers. It’s a shame that was not done here. The prices are also outrageous for what you are getting. There are plenty of studios in this area that are much cheaper or offer much, MUCH more. This was a disappointing experience. I strongly encourage this place to invest in their instructor training and implement a solid newcomer process.
