I have been regularly attending classes at Core Pilates. I typically do the Thursday night class with Christine because I am able to go after work & she is AMAZING! I have also taken a few classes with Nicole and she is equally awesome. In past workout classes have been hard for me to stick with & I typically find myself looking at the clock and realizing only a short amount of time has passed. In the Core Pilates classes, the class ends & I think to myself, " dang it's over already?!" Since I started doing Pilates I have noticed that I am more cognizant of my form in daily movements! Super cool! I love the intimate, smaller class sizes because it allows the instructor to address each persons form & movements. 10/10 recommend!

Nicole is phenomenal! I went having never tried Pilates and it's now been almost 3 months! I go twice a week (if I could make it work to go more I would). I have learned so much and have gained so much strength. Nicole is excellent at explaining each movement. She is both challenging and encouraging. So thankful to have found this studio!

I was referred to Core Pilates by a friend. I had never done Pilates before. I am hooked now!! Nicole who is the owner and a instructor is wonderful!! The classes are small which is nice because you still get that extra attention. It's a wonderful environment, Elizabeth and Christine are also great instructors. If your looking for a true Pilates studio give Nicole a call. It's amazing!

In a world where we are constantly giving of ourselves...Nicole at Core Pilates Prescott provides an oasis to recharge the mind, body, and soul. Each session whether beginner or intermediate, is carefully curated to the teachings of Joseph Pilates. I have gained and continue to gain so much strength, balance, flexibility, mental discipline, peace, enjoyment and improved posture. The adjectives are too many to list and wouldn't begin to convey the beautiful art form that Nicole provides to each of her students. Nicole's many years of expertise are truly a gift to her students. I went from once a week to now twice a week because it's now a lifestyle I cannot live without. It's a gift to my mind, body, and soul. Thank you, Nicole at Core Pilates Prescott! You've earned an infinity of stars in my book. But google will only allow five. You're a gift to our community. Grateful to you....Sandra Reyes

I've been attending Level 1 classes since Feb 2024 or so. Nicole and the other instructors are great! Nicole is patient, knows how to communicate form promptings, and does a great job with observing everyone in the class and pointing out gentle corrections in form as needed. It's a clean facility that has a welcoming and relaxed ambiance.

I rarely write reviews...pretty much only when things are terrible or great. I'm writing this one because Core Pilates Prescott is GREAT.

I was new to Pilates and first tried another local studio. That experience was, let's say, less than positive. It just wasn't for me.

But then I decided to try Core Pilates and I am so glad I did! Nicole is a great teacher and LEADER of each class. I'm not quite sure how she does it but she is completely in tune with every student in her class (which is never more than 5 for pilates). It feels like a private lesson!

And my results so far (after a couple of months)? My posture is better and my core, arm, and leg strength has improved noticeably.

If you are considering giving pilates a try...or if you are looking to further your pilates exercise in a great environment you should definitely give Core Pilates a try!

Nicole’s Pilates studio is truly a gem in Prescott! First coming into the studio, I had 0 experience and never taken a Pilates class before. Nicole reassured me everyone starts somewhere and through our 1 on 1 sessions she started with the basics and taught me so much. It’s easy to see how passionate she is about people doing Pilates the right way with correct form and improving their strength. I see Elizabeth regularly every week for private sessions and she is soooo calming, very patient and encouraging — exactly what I need in an instructor! I only wish I could come in more often! This is a super cute little studio with very welcoming energy and makes you feel like family :)

I absolutely love Core Pilates. As a beginner I was apprehensive to try something new. I am so happy I did. Pilates has changed my life. I’m stronger, more flexible and have energy. It’s the only exercise I’ve tried that I now actually crave. You will see results! Nicole and her team teach in a way that helps you understand the body and the movement that is Pilates. Give it a try. You will love it too!

I am so happy I was led to Core Pilates. I was intimidated by the thought of trying a Pilates Studio. Here I have found a welcoming, non-judgmental community that cares about helping others reach their fitness goals. In retirement I found that I had lost so much strength and realized that I needed help! I have knee problems as well as shoulder pain. My personal instructor, Elizabeth, has worked so carefully to build up my strength and modify exercises so that I can actually do them. The classes that Nicole teaches are carefully crafted to build up strength and skills. After 4 months I have regained strength, reduced pain, and I have even lost weight, which was not even my goal. This place is amazing!

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I love your class. You truly do a remarkable job - addressing a complete body workout - always very encouraging - making it fun - never humiliating when I feel like a dork - never making me feel like less than because I am only able to attend once a week.
I always leave class feeling energized and happy!

I have had the pleasure of learning Pilates under the guidance of Nicole, my Pilates instructor extraordinaire!

Nicole has a remarkable ability to inspire and motivate her students. Her encouraging words and attention to form ensure that each movement is performed effectively and safely. She excels in creating a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to challenge themselves while also respecting their limits.

In addition to her technical proficiency and motivational skills, Nicole cultivates an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie among the students in her classes.

In conclusion, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a transformative Pilates experience.

Can I give six stars?

I had a serious back issue that I was recovering from. I knew that Pilates would strengthen my core and better support my back. I started taking private and group Pilates sessions at Core Pilates based on my wife's experience. The instructors, Nicole and Susan, are awesome and I couldn't be more impressed.

Nicole has guided me through most of my sessions. She is an absolute gem. Her precision and professionalism shine through in every session. She pays meticulous attention to form and technique, ensuring that each movement is executed with utmost precision. It is so much fun and a great workout too. She keeps the workouts fresh with new moves thrown in regularly. She has the ability to tailor workouts to individual needs and ensures that everyone feels challenged, supported and has fun.

I recommend Core Pilates in Prescott for anyone interested in this fantastic form of exercise. Nicole and the other instructors will treat you right.

I've been attending Core Pilates since July of 2023. The first time I met the owner, Nicole with her caring personal warmth, in depth knowledge and professionalism. I found the perfect place for myself, she truly has a great community of clients. Nicole is also supportive of other small business owners / clients allowing them to promote their business cards, flyers ect.

Nicole at Core Pilates is the ABSOLUTE best!!! Her studio is beautiful. Her prices are really reasonable, and her work with her clients is second to none. Pilates for me is like physical therapy but it actually works and is so much less expensive. I always feel better when I'm in Pilates. She is so great at shaking up the routine. Her technique and teaching so precise and so responsive to each client. This is the only studio I will go to. She is amazing!!! If you are thinking about it, just do it!!! Don't wait, just try it.

Nicole and Core Pilates have changed my life. I had done "Pilates" before, but always felt a bit let down. Having been fairly athletic my entire life, after trying Pilates so many times without the progress I wanted to see, I thought that maybe Pilates just wasn’t for me. I wasn’t getting as good of a workout as I wanted or needed. Well, that’s not the case at Core Pilates. Detailed instruction provided by highly skilled professionals with dance/sport/gymnastic backgrounds is exactly what made Pilates click for me. For me, that meant being closely watched and redirected if I was not performing correctly. There is genuine attention given to your body here and that’s what makes it simply the best.

There is something very grounding and organic about the studio aesthetics and a multitude of types of equipment to work out on keep me coming back for more. I’m never bored and I always leave feeling stronger.. with a little burst of energy. If you want classic Pilates, it’s at it’s best right here at Core.

I have been going to Core Pilates Prescott for about 8 months. I’m so glad Nicole was recommended to me because she is very knowledgeable and professional. She’s a walking encyclopedia of Pilates exercises along with movement and the human anatomy. She is sensitive to each clients’ needs and provides clear instructions for all the wonderful, challenging exercises. I’m always looking forward to my next class with Nicole. I noticed an improvement of my strength and overall fitness in the first month of classes. I highly recommend purchasing her monthly packages. You will be glad you did!

I love coming to Core Pilates Prescott! From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and amongst friends. I’ve been coming to Core Pilates for about six months now. I’ve tried many other Pilates studios, and this one is by far my favorite. Not only is Nicole, knowledgeable, energetic, and fun to be around, you can tell she truly knows her stuff. Nicole will guide you through all of the little, intricate moves within a move to help you reach your maximum results. For Pilates in general I am so much better off now than I was 1 year ago. I have suffered life altering back injuries and was severely disabled for many years. Pilates has turned that around for me. If you have back problems, joint problems foot problems and can’t exercise the way you used to, but you still want to be strong, Pilates is your solution. There are no egos in this studio. Nothing but positivity comes from attending your classes. You leave feeling great and happy, and with a sense of accomplishment. If you’ve never tried Pilates and feel hesitant or scared to reach out and schedule your first class just take the chance. You owe it to yourself and to your body to be healthy and able to do all the things you want to do in life. ❤️

I’ve been practicing Gyrotonic to relieve back pain, strengthen muscles and improve my posture and flexibility. Learning to perform the exercises is not easy, however it is worthwhile. The key is finding a good instructor. I feel like I've found the trainer I was looking for in Nicole. Nicole is a very knowledgeable, compassionate, and motivating instructor. She understands body physiology and practices what she preaches. She makes sure you don’t exacerbate any injuries you have and instead will help you overcome any injuries or limitations you may have. Her instructions are straightforward, and done with care. You definitely get your money’s worth of training under her guidance.
If you really want to improve your flexibility, gain strength, reduce back and neck pain then you do yourself a favor and go see Nicole, you won’t regret it.

After settling into our new home in Prescott, I began looking for a Pilates studio. It had been about 2 years since I took any classes. I looked online for reviews and found Connected in Motion had the best. So I emailed the owner Nicole and arranged an intro session. She is a wonderful instructor and I immediately felt at ease there. I chose group classes (3-4 per class) and fit right in. Nicole listens and remembers that I have neck issues at every class. She always modifies a movement for anyone with limitations. I highly recommend this studio along with Nicole as a super instructor.

Nicole is absolutely the best! I have been taking her live Pilates classes via zoom weekly for almost a year now. She has the experience and the passion to teach. She verbally articulates the moves so well that you don’t even need to watch her as an example. I have noticed a physical definition in my obliques and my core strength increase through different activities I love to do such as paddle boarding (helps to balance on the board) and horseback riding. I had not done English riding, which requires great core strength and is a cardio exercise, in years and so far I’ve had 3 weekly lessons and my trainer gave me a nice compliment which I attribute a lot of it to Nicole’s Pilates classes. Take her classes! You will not be disappointed!

I've taken classes with Nicole for years in Chicago and now virtually from DC. Nicole is a wonderful teacher: she gives everyone personal attention; never offers the same class twice; and always focuses on the best Pilates practice available to each individual.

I have been a student of Nicole's since 2013 through private lessons. I am a middle-aged guy that had some back problems and thought Pilates could help (and it did).

I'm not really sure I can adequately describe the dedication, passion, and skill Nicole offers to all her clients, but I can say I was privileged to work with her for six years as a Pilates and Gyrotonic client. I came to Nicole with tons of chronic pain, very limited range of motion, and poor structural integrity. Nicole worked with me through numerous ups and downs as I journeyed toward health, and is truly one of the adaptive and intuitive instructors I have ever known. I am extremely picky and particular about the instructors I work with, and I followed Nicole through four studios -- she is worth the effort! While I moved to Austin, and regrettably, can no longer work with her, I left feeling a confidence and trust in my body that I never thought possible. I suppose the greatest testament I can give to her talents is that she inspired me to become a Gyrotonic instructor myself! Nicole is the best, and her natural teaching ability make her a joy to work with!

I love Pilates and Nicole is a one-of-a-kind teacher. She basically saved my life (back pain) a few years ago!! She is so knowledgeable (Pilates, Gyrotonic, movement) and has that great positive energy. She is wonderful with both beginners and advanced students (great eye for details), either in group or private classes. I have been doing mostly privates with her for five years and haven't seen a physical therapist or taken any medication for my back ever since. The results: It became less expensive and more natural to deal with back pain... Plus I feel stronger every week, thanks Nicole!

Nicole is the best pilates/Gyrotonic teacher I’ve had in all of the years I’ve been doing this (off and on for 20 years). She has great knowledge of body mechanics and can tailor a workout to your body’s specific needs. I have many issues to work around (arthritis, bulging disc to name 2) and she still can create an effective, challenging workout. Great!
