Pilates Core Center and Dragonfly Yoga

Pilates Core… you’re a breath of fresh air!
I recently (a year ago) moved to Philadelphia from San Francisco where I was used to doing reformer pilates
…and sometimes twice a day. Thats how much I love R.P. Not only is it phenomenal for my back but I saw physical changes in my body I’ve never seen before. After I moved to Philadelphia, I was very disappointed to see how there were absolutely no studios in the city that offered small group reformer classes (think 5 – 9 machines/​people per class), but only private sessions which ranged from $ 80+. Now I love pilates but that’s CRAZY. I basically stopped doing Pilates in the year I was here and could only talk and dream about being on a reformer again… till I found Pilates Core Center and Dragonfly Yoga.
I live in Philadelphia and drive 6 miles 3 times a week to Jersey just to come here and have absolutely no problem putting in the miles and time for this. I’ve had the pleasure of attending Sylvias, Jessicas and Melissa’s classes and have nothing but the most upmost love and respect for these instructors already. I couldnt attend a class I had set up in the morning one day and knew that the general rule is if you dont cancel within 24 hrs it goes to say you loose out on it and still pay, however I took a class that night and Syliva (one of the owners) saw me and asked how come I missed class. I told her I had an emergency pop up and she, without me even asking, said «oh well lets go and give you that credit back so you’re not paying for two classes today if you only made it to one». She absolutely didnt need to do that, I know the cancellation/​missing class policy and know if you make your bed you will lie in it, so for her to do that on her own was a HUGE surprise. It showed me that people here care about the integrity of their business, you as a client and person, and that they respect you. Already long story short, P.C.C.and D. Y you are incredible, and I am a lifetime (or as long as I’m around here) fan and client of yours.!!

I love Pilates Core Center and have been going there for about 6 years it is the only exercise I’ve ever done and stuck with for such a long time even take some barre and yoga classes too. Like taking all the teachers classes because they all bring something new and fun to the classes and the people I work out with no matter what level they are at in their pratice all support each other and never feels like a place of judgment. The energy in this beautiful studio always has me leaving feeling happy and proud, could say I found my confidence there. Feel more grounded then I ever have in my life that’s why I would never stop going. Love, love, love it! Oh, yeah, I look and feel stronger than ever.

I practice Pilates reformer at Pilates Core Center. The classes are what I look forward to most in my busy week. When the class is over, I feel so much better because of the deep breathing and stretching. The instructors are so vested in helping each person in their class grow and learn. If only I could go more often

I absolutely love the classes that I’ve been taking at PC2 for both pilates and yoga. I used to work in a physical therapy clinic and worked out in their gym almost every day. Since starting my own business, I simply haven’t made the time to go to the gym. Because Pilates Core Center is located right there in the same building as my office I originally chose it for convenience. After just one month, and only four hours each week, I was seeing results faster than spending hours in the gym, and it’s easier on my joints. I have since been joining their classes at least 2 – 4 times each week and love how I’ve progressed.
The office staff is friendly and always has a smile on their face to greet each person as they walk in. Pilates with Carol has been absolutely wonderful. She really takes the time to make sure the whole class is performing each exercise properly to prevent injury and maximize benefits. While yoga with Bonnie has been both relaxing and challenging at the same time. She has a gift of being teacher, and yet it never feels like I am in a classroom.
All of the staff, and the owners, have warm and open personalities and have a way of making me look forward to my weekly yoga and pilates routines.
I could never go back to a cold and stale gym after experiencing what exercise should be with Pilates Core Center.
