"Pilates was my saving grace during my pregnancy. I worked out twice a week taking a group reformer class in addition to a private session. Because of pilates, I had obliques through out most of the 288 days of pregnancy. Although I gained eight pounds more with this pregnancy, I looked better than I did with my first child. I consistently got compliments about how great I looked.  The compliments were much needed to my self-esteem, especially as I got bigger and bigger.  More importantly though, I continued to have good flexibility and was able to work through the tightness in my lower back and hips. 


Chris Hall is an expert in her field. She pays close attention to the body and and clearly explains how to get the most out of each exercise. I have achieved the best results with Chris. She's fantastic."

I've been taking private reformer sessions with Chris for almost two years now. Working one-on-one with Chris was exactly what I needed to take things to another level, especially after a major surgery with a long recovery that left my core and lower back pretty weak.  Pilates is unique in that there's always a way to make a move more or less challenging, and tailor it to your level of ability. Chris, Angela and Kristen are skilled instructors who know how to help you get the most out of the time with them. Their new studio is beautiful and bright, and has enough equipment and space for any form of pilates that floats your boat. Highly recommended.

I've been taking private sessions with Chris for about 1 1/2 years now and I can honestly say that I'd be lost without her.  After back surgery several years ago, I was diagnosed with yet another herniated disc. After checking out a lot of studios, I can honestly say that Urbancore Pilates and Fitness has exceptionally patient instructors, who make you feel comfortable, however awkward you feel. I've been completely surprised by what my body can do and how much stronger I've become! This isn't a churn them in...churn them out kind of studio where they recognize you by your credit card #.  Here they really care and take pride in helping you achieve your goals!

I have been taking group classes and private pilates lessons at UrbanCore Pilates & Fitness since it opened.  The "heart core" class is the best circuit training workout!  It is a different, challenging workout each time.  My cardio endurance has improved immensely since taking this class.  

I have also taken pilates lessons on the reformer (privates, duets and the group reformer class).  I am never disappointed with my workouts and have really noticed a difference in my body composition since starting pilates about 15 months ago.  

Chris Hall is a great pilates instructor.  I have a chronic neck injury that she monitors during my workouts.  I feel very comfortable that my workouts are building strength and not straining muscles.  Chris pushes me to be stronger, fitter and healthier every time that I enter the studio.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this studio.  The instructors/owners are all fabulous and I would follow them (and have) anywhere that they go.  To me, pilates classes all depend on the instructor.  The space is clean and beautiful and a great place to work out.  The equipment is also top notch.  I have taken reformer lessons, mat Pilates and heartcore and am excited to try club core next.  I am a runner and have completed two marathons.  The best shape that I have ever been in was complementing my running with heartcore.  It's the most efficient way to work out, incorporating interval training to achieve both cardiovascular and strength.  The prices are good and the customer service is amazing.
