I started Reformer Pilates back in June and although I’ve never done Pilates before, I gave Xcore a shot and I’m glad I did. These classes are so challenging but rewarding. I was glad they offered a “beginner” level of burn classes called the “burn basics” to get to know the moves and work up to getting the flow of a regular burn class. I started with no experience after not really working out for years and I was intimidated at first but there was no reason to be. I did about 5 basic classes then moved on to the reg burn class. I’ve had over 20 instructors after 70+ classes and I honestly have nothing bad to say about any of them. They’ve been fantastic, great energy, encouraging and offer modifications as needed. Even though they can have up to 13 clients at a time they’ll still pay attention to form and help you correct yourself if needed. I have felt a noticeable difference in my core strength and built muscles within a month of consistently taking classes and I’ve been hooked because it’s low impact with high intensity. It’s a great community of people, mostly women. The owner recently had a picnic for clients and instructors and it was a really good way to get to know people and say hi outside of the studio. If you’ve been thinking about trying a new work out regimen, check this place out. You’ll be sore at first but it’s so worth it once you find your flow here.

I just finished my 400th class yesterday and I loved every single class. The instructors are the best and work hard to make sure every class is different and fun. Try it out. You will love it too!

I love Reformer Pilates, The trainers here are all amazing — Ange, Alexis, and Amanda are my favorites so far. Each of them brings great energy, challenges you in the best way, and keeps the workouts fun and effective. Amanda also has great taste in music.

I’m also really looking forward to taking a class soon with Page, one of the newer trainers — I’ve heard great things!

I have been going to X’core for about a year, these classes have altered my relationship with exercise! The instructors are all so helpful and encouraging AND they will push you out of your comfort zone. There are classes for all levels and they run throughout the day so they fit with my changing schedule! I can’t recommend X’core enough.

Found X core about a month ago and I love it! The 45 min workout leaves me both shaking and humbled by how such small movements impact the muscles in your body. If you're looking for a solid workout def recommend giving X core a try!

XCORE is the best Pilates studio! I’ve been coming for over a year and the classes are never boring. The instructors are friendly, give an amazing workout, and push you to reach your limits. Classes are easy to modify or challenge your limits. It is such an amazing community.

I’ve been taking classes with Sarah, Jacquie, Bibi, Cece, and Laura, and they are all incredible instructors! They’re so supportive and attentive, always making sure I’m using the correct form to prevent injuries. Each class is equally challenging, and I always leave shaking but stronger! The attention to detail, encouragement, and overall positive energy make every session worth it. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great workout in a welcoming and motivating environment!

Beware!!! If you do not know what you are doing, do not look around the room at anyone, they don’t either. I found this place cleanly, spacious and overall a great experience. The communication with the owner and trainers fantastic and encouraging. Just want to WARN women going here there is a huge lack of proper form and knowledge around it. So use less springs than they say and if it doesn’t feel good in anyway stop. We are all not built the same.

I was so happy when this studio opened a few months ago. I had taken a 3+ year hiatus from Pilates and did not hesitate to take a class here and it did not disappoint. I've been going regularly 3 or more times a week since.

The teachers are all really good with slightly different styles. You get a full body workout in 40 minutes and if a move feels hard, you know you'll be moving to the next one 1 - 2 minutes later.

I love that they have classes at all times of the day and that they recently added more reformers so that more people can attend each time slot.

I am obsessed with x'Core Marin. I joined at the end of April right when they opened and am now an unlimited member. I love the classes, the teacher, the facility and the community. I feel like it's really transformed my body and I look forward to going everyday. Highly recommend. 10/10. Sign up and go!

I'm fairly new to reformer pilates and have been shopping around the area for a studio I feel most comfortable and benefitted from. X'Core has by far been my favorite. The instructors and the vibes are amazing. All of the instructors have been great, enthusiastic, motivating and help correct form and provide modifications which is helpful. Parking is a breeze, there's never any traffic getting to the freeway. It's also a plus that they are down the street from M.H. Bread & Butter 🤤

My daughter has been trying to get me to try Pilates for years but I was scared to try it. Fast forward to my first class with Elaine at XCore a couple of months ago. Elaine was so patient and encouraging that even though I could barely make it through that first class, I kept going and went back for more. Now 20+ classes later, I am getting stronger, more confident, and no longer afraid that I’ll break my neck :). All of the instructors I’ve tried have been great, including Ginny, Maren, and Abby. I can’t wait to try them all. I’m hooked!

I always have such a great experience with the XCore family, so it was no surprise that the location in Marin exceeded my expectations too. The space is clean, hip, and inviting. The xBURN classes will kick your backside if you’re looking for a solid workout to start or end your day. When trainers aren’t setting your muscles on fire (in the best way), they’re encouraging and treat you so warmly and always make sure your form is on point. Really optimizes they workout if you do it correctly!

Absolutely LOVE this facility, the instructors, and the vibe. It's the best of both worlds with pilates and versa climbing (you know it's a killer workout when Lebron does it). I did only these two workouts to train for Mt. Whitney in May and I carried a 60lb pack in ice with ease. Both workouts are low-impact, technique-focused, and always on point to bomb playlists. The community is strong and I can't recommend XCORE enough.

I'm so excited about pilates at X'Core. I had never done a pilates class on the Lagree machines before. Before class, Maren helped me pick out grippy socks and showed me how to use the machine with a few demonstrations. Throughout class, she patiently repeated instructions and gave me great cues to adjust my alignment. My favorite part of class was at the beginning when Maren asked everyone's name. Everyone smiled and laughed throughout class and cheered each other on. After class I stayed to chat with the other women and left the class feeling like I had some new friends. I'm new to Marin and am eager to meet people and form new friendships. X'Core feels like a great place for me to connect with my new community. Thank you Maren!

I’m an avid cyclist and have been battling knees and lower back issues since I can remember. A friend recommended I cross train to work on some of the imbalances that happen when you specialize in only one sport. Xcore was able to solve my issues, I now ride pain free, with a strong core and activated glutes and I’m able to produce more power on the bike. Let me tell you, it’s a complete body workout, I was very sore after my first class and I loved it. Great teachers, great equipment, great experience, highly recommended.

I’m so happy this new studio showed up in San Rafael! I’ve done Pilates a few times, but haven’t tried the reformer machine. I was a little intimidated, but the instructor was so helpful in explaining all the moves. The 40-minute workout is intense and I was sore (in a good way) for days. Can’t wait to come back! Also, they have a great intro offer.

X-CORE offers a great workout. Their pilates machines are state of the art and the workout left me sore in all the right places. A welcoming environment with great energy from the instructor, super clean and a beautiful space. You'll need grip socks for class that they sell at the studio. Parking was super easy as there's a lot right next to the space.

Had a great experience at X-Core Marin. It was only my second time taking a Pilates class. The instructor, Abby, was super attentive and offered helpful adjustments to my form throughout the session. The Beginner class was perfect for my experience level but was still really challenging. Fun music. Will definitely come back.

The space is beautiful, modern and comfortable and convenient to get to (minutes from highway with plenty of parking around). And the workout is fantastic - approachable for any fitness level and enough to give anyone an incredible muscle shock that will make you want to come back for more. The instructors are genuine and caring and take time to monitor form, offer modifications, and help push you through the class. Just a great fitness studio overall!
