Core Studio

Kathy helped me get in shape over three years ago, and the studio just keeps getting better and better. Barre classes rock here. It’s locally owned and fantastic. Just go.

Amazing barre and pilates classes! Very challenging, but fun and followable. Shana, Erin, and Kathy are all incredible instructors. They give helpful tips and attention during class and play good music.

When I tell my friends I’m going to a «barre» class, I usually get a blank stare followed by a wry smile and something like «Ohhh, I get it! So how much do drinks cost at these [holding up finger quotes] «bar classes?»
I then reply with a slap to the forehead and explain, speaking slowly «Think ballet barre. You know, the kind you hold onto.» And I mime holding onto a waist-​high bar at my side and do a plié. I’ve had slightly different versions of this conversation at least three times. I’m not kidding.
So Studio 208– Every instructor is wonderful in their own way. Different personalities have varied ways of instructing and that’s part of what makes the whole experience so enticing and keeps me coming back. If barre is not your thing, there is a Mat Pilates class that doesn’t involve the bar at all, as well as a Vinyasa Yoga class. But I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to give the barre a try. You do a variety of exercises throughout the class so you’re not on the barre the entire hour.
I haven’t personally experienced the Power Reformer classes, so I couldn’t tell you what they’re like, but I hear good things.
Studio 208 offers a wide range of time slots. Their schedule is diverse, which makes them the perfect place for me and my crazy schedule. I absolutely love coming here! It’s mostly a female crowd, but I did see a man here once. First class is free so pop in and give them a try!

Best Pilates, Barre classes and personal training in Burlington! Kathy is a real pro and truly takes an interest in her clients!

I love this small studio close to the waterfront. Their BarSculpt classes are addicting! The instructors are kind and helpful. I have found exercise I love!
