Barre is a full-body workout that combines elements of Pilates, strength training, and ballet-inspired movement. Using light weights, small controlled movements, and high repetitions, you’ll build strength, muscular endurance, balance, and stability.

No dance experience required.

Barre traces its roots back to the late 1950s, when German dancer Lotte Berk developed a conditioning method in London that blended ballet-inspired movements with rehabilitative exercises. Berk had suffered a back injury and created her technique by combining her dance training with therapeutic strengthening. Her method quickly became popular with dancers and non-dancers alike for its ability to tone muscles, improve posture, and build graceful strength.

Pilates is a system of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates that emphasizes strength, control, precision, and coordinated movement.

At Core Collective, we teach classical Pilates, honoring the original method and its progression of exercises. Our approach focuses on developing strength from the center of the body while improving mobility, alignment, and body awareness.

Our Mat Pilates classes follow the classical sequence, with thoughtful modifications to meet you where you are.

Not at all! Everyone starts somewhere.

Our instructors provide clear guidance and modifications so you can work at a safe, appropriate level. Some classes are more physically demanding than others, so we encourage you to explore our class descriptions or reach out if you’re unsure where to begin.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Fitted clothing can help our instructors observe alignment and offer guidance.

Grip socks are required for studio classes and are available for purchase if you need a pair. Bring water and anything else you need to feel comfortable.

We’ll take care of the equipment, including mats.

Movement should meet you where you are.

Our instructors can offer modifications for many common limitations, but group classes aren’t appropriate for every condition. Please let us know about any injuries or concerns before class so we can help determine the best approach.

For more individualized attention, private Pilates or personal training may be a better starting point.

Many people can continue exercising during pregnancy with appropriate modifications, but every pregnancy is different.

We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider and contacting us before booking so we can discuss which classes or private sessions may be appropriate for you.

We intentionally keep our classes small (no more than 16 participants) to create a more personal experience. Class capacities vary by format, allowing our instructors to provide guidance, observe movement, and get to know the people in the room.
