THE CORE DIFFERENCE
Not just more movement.
Better movement.
We love Pilates in all its forms.
CORE celebrates both the tradition of Pilates and the way it has evolved. Whether you're drawn to Joseph Pilates' original method — Contrology — or prefer a more contemporary, fitness-focused approach, there's a place for you at CORE.
Our small-group classes offer individual attention from knowledgeable instructors who want to help you move better and feel better. From beginner and open-level classes to intermediate, advanced and instructor-level classes, there's room to grow at every stage of your Pilates journey.

OUR TEAM
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.
Christa is a longtime lover of all things Pilates, blending classical technique with fitness-inspired flows.
