Jose at Core Havn is the absolute best trainer! I always look forward to my personal training sessions with him and after over a year of consistent 2x a week sessions, I can confidently say I am the strongest and most toned I’ve been in 15 years.

This is hands down the best workout I’ve ever done! Classes are small and feel like a good community. Every time I leave the studio I feel stronger and taller. Thank you Core Havn for giving me a safe space to workout in.

Not an official lagree studio but they use a similar machine and moves. Definitely cater to the moms of MI so the classes and spring loads are not as intense or difficult as studios in LA or NYC. Great intimate class size though and you can always advance any move. I do wish we were in moves for longer times but that’s just subjective. I love coming to this studio when I’m back home on the island! Would love to see a 60min or advanced class too.

I ABSOLUTELY love the class with Currency. This is the best workout I get in 50 mins, best bang for my time. It has made real changes in my body. Her instructions are very clear, she pays attention and takes the time to correct everybody's posture. She gives easier options for those who need. After this workout I feel like almost every muscle is exercised. I strongly recommend this class.

Core Havn is my new favorite place! If I could go daily I would, but my muscles need a break:) One of the best workouts I’ve ever done, it’s challenging but in the best ways. Each instructor is so encouraging and I appreciate the way they watch you and correct to avoid injuries. I leave class feeling lighter (literally:), encouraged, and with the mentality that I can do hard things :) If you want a place where the people are kind, the studio is gorgeous and the workouts produce results, Core Haven is your place! I cannot recommend this studio enough! Thank you so much:)

I am relatively newer to pilates, but have had a lot of experience with fitness classes over the past 20+ years. A few months ago, I tried my first class at Core Havn and was so impressed that I signed up for a full membership and the classes have become a fundamental part of my routine. The owner Cat has done an incredible job not only creating a beautiful and spotless studio space, but also maintaining the highest standards for her instructors. There are a lot of class options, and so I find I can get into classes easily, but I have also been pleasantly surprised that the instructors are consistently excellent. It’s fun to see how each instructor has his/her own style and preferred routines. The instructors are conscious of the varying experience and fitness levels of the participants and I feel that they create a welcoming environment for everyone. They are very conscientious about teaching proper form and cuing micro adjustments to avert injury and so that you can get the most out of your practice and challenge yourself safely. I had previously had a sort of dichotomy in my head of workouts that are fun vs. workouts that are good for me (e.g., yoga, mobility work, stretching, etc.), but I find the classes to be so enjoyable that I look forward to them, but also come out feeling as though I’ve had PT.

Cat’s core classics classes never disappoint! Her instructions are clear, the moves are challenging, and she plans out smooth transitions that help maximize every minute.

I have been amazed by my experience with HAVN.
I am a mom of two small children and also a yoga and fitness instructor of many years. I practiced MMA, functional fitness and recreational partner acrobatics, so I love a good challenge, but also have major injuries to my core from 2 pregnancies and emergency cesareans so I need to be aware of my core at all times. My experience at Core HAVN met both of those needs in perfect balance!
The instructors all provide carefully prepared classes with clear and precise instruction. The classes are challenging enough that I often can’t finish my sets without pausing and slow enough that I know exactly what needs to be happening at all times. The machines force your core/stabilizers to do their job and I really feel like everything is pulling together for the first time since having my first child.
I also felt really at home here! I noticed that there were all kinds of bodies around me which made me feel really at ease in my own. Also, the music has been varied and fun and the folks attending classes have been really friendly and talk a lot before and after class. I can tell there is a good community here.

First timer for Lagree and pilates. This studio and the instructors are amazing. They are very friendly and provide very helpful guidance. The equipment is clean and feels safe. The ambiance of the studio is great for a good workout, its nicely spaced out. The workout is tough, its a full body workout, but you can also adjust to whatever level you are comfortable with. As a beginner the instructors provided me with extra help and I really appreciated it. They are also available afterclass for some quick questions too. Thanks for the amazing classes!

Core Havn is a truly amazing spot, and I’m only sad that I didn’t start going to classes sooner. The workout, equipment, space, and instructors are amazing. I particularly loved classes with Kelsey, Sunny, Ioulia, and Cat. After booking several classes on ClassPass, I bought a month unlimited and started so many of my mornings at Core Havn before moving off of Mercer Island. The equipment and moves take some getting used to, but the workout is really unique and reignited my love for strength training. I highly recommend this studio!

This studio is amazing! The workouts are difficult but it amazing what you can do with the equipment. They give you challenges but it is up to you to take the challenge or stay where you are comfortable. All instructors have been great and have grown me from having no knowledge of the machines to feeling strong and confident. A really great studio!

Love this studio, the workouts are challenging but doable. Teachers are friendly and non-judge mental. Other students are nice and the studio is clean. I thought parking would be bad but I've found a spot every time I've been to class.
