I’ve had such a positive experience at this studio! As a newcomer to reformer pilates I had no idea what to expect when trying it out with a friend. The instructors and other participants are very kind, welcoming and encouraging. I look forward to my classes each week and always walk away feeling stronger, calmer and more focused.

The studio is both welcoming and beginner-friendly. It has a very positive atmosphere and a great variety of classes. I highly recommend taking coach Lilly’s class. It is relatively inexpensive if you join as a member and is super convenient with easy parking and lots of times available.

I have been practicing and studying Pilates with Laura and Core Innov8tions since the studio opened 11 years ago, as a student and for a few years now as an instructor. I have bounced between many gyms, ballet studios and private instruction until I landed here. The instructors are top of their game and the clients are the most friendly welcoming group of people! We are very fortunate, you can’t go wrong here. Come join us!!

Core Innov8tions is the best! Such a great community of people, and always welcoming. The studio is so clean, visually relaxing, and appealing while working out. The staff is so helpful and always trying to make your experience better. Also, Core Innov8tions is a private studio, and all the instructors are Pilates-trained, which keeps the classes classical and not over-the-top with movements, style, and performative teaching.

Core Innov8tions is simply the best! I went here in my 20’s when I was very fit and felt challenged in every class—and now, 10 years later (and a lot less fit after kids and life), I’m still challenged in new ways and love it. It truly works for all levels. I drive 30 minutes to get here because no other studio compares to the warmth, energy, and fun. The instructors know everyone by name, the classes are tough but joyful, and I always leave feeling stronger, happier, and part of something special!

Core Innov8tions has a great variety of classes from mat Pilates, reformer Pilates, strength classes and TRX! They recently added more sculpt and strength + core classes to the schedule and each class is a great push! It is a studio that takes into consideration the mind and body connection, the importance of breath as well as community outreach. Each instructor has their own variety of classes that they teach and it’s a fun/welcoming environment. I’ve been coming since June 2025 and have really loved the studio and getting to take different rotations of classes!

Overall, I really enjoyed my workouts and the atmosphere here. However, got a bad taste in my mouth when I had to pause my membership due to ongoing hip pain. I got a doctors note and received a call from the owner herself suggesting I get a second opinion. While her suggestion may have been in good faith, it felt intrusive.

I started with this studio about a little over a year ago and absolutely love it. I mostly go to the 8:00 am weekly classes and the instructors are very knowledgeable and make coming to class fun. I feel fortunate that I’m able to learn from the owner who is an amazing instructor and always helpful during class. I have seen a total transformation in my body and mind since coming to class.

This studio is one of my favorite places since moving to Charlotte last summer. I went to my first class in October and fell in love with it. The studio and instructors are amazing! My experience has been nothing short of stellar. Laura (the owner), Courtney, Ally, Chloe are caring, patient, and masters of their craft.
But my favorite thing about it is how it has a great community as well. Trying Pilates for the first time can be very intimidating, but if you are ready to do it I HIGHLY recommend Core Innov8tions 💕

Extremely disappointed with the service. We booked a Pilates session for Friday at 4:30 PM, confirmed the appointment with them over the phone, and arrived on time. However, the studio was closed, and no one answered our calls or messages. Very unprofessional and frustrating experience. Would not recommend.

Transformative Experience — Highly Recommend!
I’ve been attending Core Innov8tions for the past 6
+ years and I can honestly say it’s been a game-changer for my body and mind. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and impeccably clean. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to each client's unique needs.

I love how every class is fresh and challenging. The personalized attention ensures I’m using proper form, which has helped me avoid injury and see real progress in my strength, flexibility, and posture. The equipment is top-notch, and the studio is always well-maintained.

The class schedule is flexible, making it easy to fit Pilates and TRX into my week. I always leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and mentally refreshed. If you’re looking for a supportive community and expert instruction, Core Innov8tions is the place to be!

Core Innov8tions is an amazing Pilates studio, ! I have been going for a year now. I started out doing 8 classes/4 weeks, then went to 12 classes, now I am doing unlimited/4 weeks. The work outs are great and it is a super friendly and welcoming studio! The teachers are so good at what they do and give very good class instruction as well as give everyone personal guidance when someone needs a bit of help. The people that attend the classes are also so friendly. It is a wonderful experience and I always look forward to going to class, great workout, great fun- win, win!!

After 2 years not being able to exercise due to medical reasons, I have returned to Pilates at Core Innov8tions with Laura and her team. I couldn’t ask for a better group of ladies, who have not only been patient and understanding with me but also very encouraging. The workouts on the reformer do not just target one specific area, but multiple. I love leaving feeling like I’ve worked out my whole body. I highly recommend this fitness studio!

Highly recommend Core Innov8tions. All the instructors are excellent, they have multiple classes every day along with modifications for any fitness level. When I first joined I had no Pilates background and everyone was really welcoming, it just made it super easy for me to fall in love with Pilates. I have been taking classes for over a year and most say Pilates at this wonderful studio has improved my lifestyle tremendously. Would recommend to anyone!

I have been taking classes at this studio for the past nine years and it only gets better as time goes on. The instructors (shout-out to Zoe, Lori and Susan!) are the perfect mix of tough, but also supportive and encouraging. The new reformers are awesome and I feel amazing every time I leave the studio. I started Pilates to help my back pain which has now been gone for years and I feel stronger and more flexible than I did in my teen’s/20’s. I think a lot of people are intimidated to try a new exercise class but the instructors and other students at Core Innov8tions are all super friendly and welcoming to new students. Lastly, a big shout-out to the owner, Laura. You can tell she puts so much of herself into the studio and it really shows in the space and the instructors.

Laura and all of the instructors at Core Innov8tions are ahhhmazing. My body feels so strong during and after each class. I feel my body being challenged and pushed, while also feeling safe and stable… it’s just the best workout. Better than other Pilates places (in my opinion) because of their focus on strengthening and sharing the knowledge behind the moves, which really deepens the experience. Super grateful for this place.

Core Innovations has been a game changer for me! I noticed one of my neighbors who was extremely fit and asked her what she was doing to maintain. She shared that she really loved her table Pilates class and suggested I join her. Well I’m so glad I did. The instructors are so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tables are amazing and really good for any level. It’s also one of the only workouts I’ve been able to do with this lovely case of vertigo I can’t seem to shake. Seriously. If you are looking for a full body workout that engages muscles you didn’t know you had and want to get that body in shape, check out Core Innovations across from the Arboretum (behind where they are building the new Publix). I’m so glad I did!!

Core Innova8tions is a hidden gem Pilates/fitness boutique studio in Charlotte, NC! Great teachers, friendly staff, it's kept really clean and the prices are the best in town. They offer private pilates classes as well which is definitely a plus if you're newer to this form of exercise. Definitely a winner!

I absolutely love this studio! I came from a small Pilates studio with less reformer machines and was alway told to beware of larger studios because they lack in instruction while on the machine. This is not the case with Core Innovv8tions! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and provide verbal and hands on cues to redirect and you into the proper form on the machine. Laura the owner is so helpful with all the scheduling and truly cares if you are progressing and happy. There are so many different packages you can definitely find something that fits your needs. The wide variety of classes offered throughout the day makes it easy to find something that works in my schedule and keeps me challenged and interested.

I love Pilates at Core Innov8tions! In the past, I’ve never been good at consistently going to the gym, but I was looking for exercise that complimented my walking routine. I wanted to try Pilates, but I was a little intimidated to try it for the first time. I am so glad I decided to go to that first class, and I am really happy to have found Core Innov8tions! The studio and the Pilates instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. I knew nothing when I began, but they are excellent at giving instructions and tips on how to move correctly to get the most from the class! I have found exactly what I was looking for, a great environment, kind people, knowledgeable instructors, and an exercise that I actually enjoy.

I wish I could award even more stars! I've been attending classes at this studio for 9 years, and I can truly say I feel a huge difference in my core strength and overall muscle tone. If I miss any time while on vacation (I usually take 4 classes each week), it takes me a few sessions to regain what I lost (a great motivation to keep going!). The owner recently invested in all new machines, and they are great! I love the instructors and that each class in unique.

One of the things I miss the most about moving from Charlotte is the Pilates reformer class at Core Innov8tions.

I can’t recommend Core Innov8tions enough! I have tried just about every exercise class from yoga to CrossFit over the years and never really found my place. After moving to Charlotte somewhat recently I thought I would try Pilates. I had to have foot surgery and was still healing but wanted to exercise. I was intrigued that Core Innov8tions offered many different classes and wasn’t your average Pilates studio. The vibe is different at CI. People and staff are so friendly and inviting. I love all the instructors and they make classes fun. The instructors bring their different styles and personalities into the class and it makes it fresh everyday. No class is the same but you always get a full body workout . Never boring these classes fly by so fast and I always want more. I have never looked forward to exercise the way I do now. Pilates and Core Innov8tion has given me motivation and confidence to try to take better care of myself. My body has changed greatly and I am in the best shape of my life. Thank you Laura and staff at Core Inno8tions! I am a die hard now.
