Hi I don't know for the studios in San Mateo and Menlo Park but the Redwood City location does not have a shower, just a single bathroom for changing

I've been coming to HeartCore since February of 2023. I had no experience with a reformer class and came as a beginner.
Right when I first walked in, I was welcomed warmly by the instructor and notified it was my first class. She showed me around the machine beforehand to get familiar. You might be confused with some of the names they yell out but you have others to watch and the instructor likes to demonstrate on the ground as well.
The instructors are all so sweet, motivating without putting pressure. I feel like I created a small HeartCore community with them. 1000/10 recommend. Now, I try coming in every Saturday morning when time permits for a different type of challenge.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 12, 2024
I'm addicted to Heartcore! It took me a while before I was able to write a 5 star review because I don't think it is a great place to start your Megaformer journey, but it's definitely a great longterm investment. Many of the instructors do not demonstrate the moves, and they don't offer beginner instruction because their philosophy is that "there's no better way to jump right in than by taking a group class." It took several weeks before I felt like I even kind of knew what I was doing, which not everyone will have the luxury to afford. Now that I have been coming for a couple of months, I really enjoy the classes and have seen big changes in my strength. I particularly enjoy Toran's classes as she is clear with her instruction and always checks everyone's form. My recommendation would be to learn the basics at a different studio and then come here when you feel more confident in the method.

I have never been more pleasantly surprised to find a megaformer studio with such excellent instructors than I have with Heartcore! I absolute LOVE Krystal and Michelle's classes so, so much! Their workouts are always so fun, challenging, and they always switch it up, which I love! Their energy always keeps me motivated, and I really enjoy the music selection for the class. Lastly, they really are paying attention to what you are doing, and truly take the time to try and improve your form. I cannot say enough good things about these badass gals, and look forward to coming to class every week!

I love Heartcore so much! I am an extreme beginner without any fitness experience what so ever. The 3 different instructors I've taken have been absolutely AMAZING!! They push you to your limit and hold you accountable but also acknowledge the fact that you're so tired. As a beginner I was afraid of judgement because there is absolutely 0 fitness bone in my body but the community and instructors have been nothing but accepting and supportive. I've been coming to Heartcore since February and have already noticed a difference in my mental health, physical health& fitness capabilities. I also enjoyed the fact that there is not a beginner class because it throws you right into the rhythm of where you are supposed to be. I love that Heartcore has become part of my weekly routine!!

My after work pick me up! I love this work out - it's quick and effective. The ambiance is also great and instructors are super helpful. So far I've taken Toran & Krystal's class and they're both amazing. Music is always on point and I love the interior vibes

Such a fun and amazing pilates studio! They have an intro special which is less than $30 for one class which is unheard of in NYC. I came in having taken some SolidCore classes before but these machines are a bit easier to use (easier to put on and take off the springs) and these instructors are so so sweet.
If you're new, come 10min in advance (as mentioned on their website) so they can walk you through the machines; otherwise it can be a safety hazard. You also need to bring your own grippy socks or buy them in the studio.
I came with a friend who had never done pilates before and we both left completely feeling the burn for 2 days (in an amazing way). Krystal was our instructor and she was great at motivating us and correcting our form to make sure we were getting the most out of our workout.
If I lived in the area, I'd def be a consistent attendee!Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 0Business owner information

I absolutely love this studio! The workouts are intense but I always leave feeling a sense of gratitude and accomplishment. The instructors are very supportive and hands on to ensure you are doing every move correctly. It's a little bit of a commute for me, but so so worth it!
