XCore is an amazing Pilates/Lagree studio. I love that the instructors focus on slow, intentional reps and really good form. Even though I go most days a week, I don’t get bored because of how much they switch up routines day-to-day. I feel like the instructors pay attention to everyone’s form, and offer really helpful hands-on corrections, while still teaching classes that are super challenging. I love this studio, and can’t recommend it highly enough!

Took my first Xcore class in July with Lisa and just finished my first challenge. Love, love, love the instructors and the West Portal studio.

I started by Pilates journey in May 2025, I am a breast cancer survivor, since diagnosed stage 2 in 2021.4 rounds of chemotherapy, several surgeries, and hospitals visits became the norm. Along with my gym membership, I go at least 6 days per week, before I start my round the clock schedule, as a recoverying cancer survivor, I've noticed improvements in my posture and energy. Glad.to make it part of my ongoing living needs.

Wow. Just, wow. I'm brand new to the world of Pilates, and XCORE absolutely knocked it out of the park. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable, and the space itself is just adorable.

But the real star of the show? That workout. I work out a lot and nothing has ever made my muscles quiver like this—the focus on control and stability is a total game-changer. I'm feeling muscles I didn't even know I had and it hurts so good.

After trying 2 sessions, I have signed up for a membership and am so happy to be part of the XCORE family!

I’ve been going to X Core since Oct 2024. The location is convenient, the instructors are phenomenal and the classes are enjoyable! X Core helped me lose 20 pounds and feel the most confident I’ve ever felt in my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a wonderful experience at this facility; it's incredibly clean and well-organized. Trying out table Pilates for the first time was a bit overwhelming, as I was unfamiliar with the equipment. However, the instructors were so informative and friendly, which made it easy for me to get the hang of it. I really appreciate how Pilates focuses on improving overall health, especially for balance and core strength. As someone who's new to this, I decided to try the unlimited month option, and I can already tell that I want to continue even after my trial period ends. It’s been a positive journey, and I feel hopeful about what lies ahead.

Is it even possible to schedule a class at this place?? It’s always fully booked whenever I check. Maybe you guys should open another studio in the neighborhood!!!!

Ok so I’ve done Pilates on the reformer at a few places throughout the years and I have to be honest..this place blows them all out of the water. God I love everything about this place. I love the location (so much street parking and don’t need to stress about meters). I love the location, the cute building, the cute & perfect studio space upstairs, the amazing energy of the space, the clean bathrooms and beautiful sinks. The instructors I’ve taken have ALL been phenomenal. I thought I would only be going 2-3 times a week but I’ve managed to go at least 4 times! Don’t be discouraged by all the “waitlists”! You will get into classes and I started with a newbie unlimited. ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I actually get excited and look forward to every class! Thank you to everyone at this studio for creating such a beautiful space for us to get healthy both mind and body!

The studio itself is in a great location with both metered and street parking. The studio itself is clean, cute and has a cozy layout. I have been loving the classes itself — just have to find the teachers that match your style.

I have been going to XCore Pilates on Ocean Ave since June’24 - I’ve been 140 times since then. Started with 2-pack trial, then the unlimited 30 day trial - and I was hooked. Great instructors, friendly community of members, fun contests/challenges. Oh yeah - dropped over 30lbs too! I’ve been to 3 of their locations (brand new one on Polk/Russian Hill, and just visited their Oakland spot on Piedmont). My ‘home’ club is just 1 year old, so everything is still new/sparkly. Their app is pretty easy to use, and they allow booking twice in one day, as well as waitlisting. A great part of my week with a 3 day ‘on’ schedule, then a day of rest (that’s the target, anyway). I plan to be here for a long time to come! Michael

Pilates is hard lol. But I've taken probably a dozen instructors here and every one has been kind and helpful. The instructors make it accessible for anyone, whether you're a beginner or more advanced, and offer variations and adjustments that work for you. It is a whole body workout, and I can notice the difference in my strength from going to classes consistently. It's in a nice location with plenty of parking.

The space is quaint and filled with light. It’s a great workout with awesome instructors. A few of my favorite are Kates and Ariel. I strongly recommend taking a few basic classes if you haven’t been to an x’core class before.

Xcore has been the only workout I’m actually consistent with. The short 45 min classes give you the best burn and the instructors are all super helpful and supportive.

Xcore not only has diverse staff but attendees as well which makes it a great inclusive community

I’ve been coming to XCore since they opened here in March 2024 and love this studio!! The instructors are all amazing and the classes can be extremely spicy 😮‍💨 Even after almost a year of coming here and over 100 classes, the classes still make me sweat and shake!! Definitely check out this studio if you’re looking for a solid 45 minute workout

Welcoming atmosphere and the staffs are nice. They're very encouraging and provide valuable insight about adapting to the movements while focusing on your mind-body connection. After all, it may take more than 10 classes to become attune with your body & maintain the pace during class. So don't be discouraged! You got this!

It’s about time I review X-Core. I’ve been going here since they opened in the spring. Prior to their opening, I used to do pilates workouts in the Marina, Pac Heights, or Mission Bay. While I liked those studios, they were inconvenient to get to and find parking at. X-Core to the rescue! It’s a convenient drive from where I live, there’s always plenty of parking, and the machines and facilities are new and modern. The instructors are great, and I haven’t ever had a bad one. The workouts get really intense! Even with the basics class, you feel the burn pretty early into a class session, and it leaves you feeling the results days after. This studio is fantastic, and while I’d like to gatekeep it because I don’t want it to get too popular and overbooked, I won’t because it really is fantastic and you should check it out whether you’re new to pilates or have taken over 100 classes.
