CORE IS GROWING · OUR NEW FLAGSHIP OPENS AT 80 MITCHELL AVENUE · STEWART STREET CONTINUES
JOIN THE CLASSICAL CHALLENGE
Three ways to build a deeper, more consistent Pilates practice.
THE CORE DIFFERENCE
Not just more movement.
Better movement.
CORE is a Pilates studio and teaching academy dedicated to Classical Pilates. Whether you join us for Mat, Reformer, Tower or Apparatus classes, or work with us privately or in a duet, you’ll be guided by instructors who understand how the exercises and apparatus work together—and how to apply the work intelligently to help you move better and feel better. Our schedule includes beginner and open-level classes, as well as intermediate and advanced work.
Classical Pilates is our foundation, not our limitation. CORE Signature and CoreFit explore the Reformer beyond the classical repertoire, each with its own goals and programming. Different bodies. Different goals. One standard of teaching.

MEET OUR FOUNDER MONICA PLEWES
Hi, I'm Monica.
I’m the founder of Core Pilates Studio & Academy. With over 25 years of teaching experience, I’ve trained in classical, contemporary, and rehabilitative methods, and spent seven years traveling internationally as a Teacher Trainer for Power Pilates. Through Core Pilates Academy, I educate safe, skilled instructors who carry forward the classical method while adapting it for today’s clients. Alongside teaching teachers, I continue to work with clients in private and small-group sessions—staying grounded in the method every day.
I love to travel and Short Spine Massage is my favourite Pilates exercise.
