Meet the CORE MVMT team
At CORE MVMT, we believe fitness is a journey, not a destination. Our team of experienced instructors will help you find the joy in the burn, the strength in the shake, and the community that keeps you coming back for more.

Lisa | Owner and Instructor
Favorite move: Super Forearm Plank to Pike.
Playlist style: Chill and vibey… expect Rihanna, DRAMA, Remi Wolf, SZA,Victoria Monet, Amber Mark, Tame Impala–a little bit of everything!
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: I’ve been doing Pilates for the past 10 years and I am still madly in love with the method! A few years ago, I quit my last corporate job and decided to open CORE MVMT in January of 2020–little did I know that the whole world was about to change! It was a crazy start but I believe in divine timing and am grateful for the experience. I think the most special thing about CORE MVMT is the community; it took a village to save CORE MVMT from being a pandemic statistic, and I’m beyond blessed to be part of something that is so much bigger and more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed!

Daniel | Instructor
Favorite move: I do love arms in my classes – so I’d say a sumo squat bicep curl off the back platform.
Playlist style: High energy, wake up and do the damn thing playlists–Beyoncé, always Drake, ODESZA, Dua Lipa, the list goes on…
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: I chose to join CORE MVMT because I wanted to share how much I believe in the workout and to coach the style of class I love to take: high energy, slow tempo, boot camp style Pilates classes. Pilates is such an amazing workout and the machine will humble you. Years later and now a coach, I still find myself challenged each and every day I show up to class. I love that Pilates is a low impact, strength focused workout so it is very easy on joints, which complements my long distance runs outside the studio.

Heather | Instructor
Favorite move: All of them! (minus that bungee) I love a good one leg glute-bridge or a floor plank-to-pike off of the back platform!
Playlist style: Rap/Hip-Hop/EDM
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: I was inspired to become a coach because Pilates has helped me to develop a greater sense of discipline and focus, which may have been lacking in other areas of my life. I wanted to share my positive Pilates experience with others by becoming a coach. By helping others improve their fitness level and wellbeing through Pilates, I have found a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I also wanted to inspire others who were in a similar situation to where I was before I discovered Pilates, and help them to achieve their own fitness goals.

Katie | Instructor
Favorite move: Single-sided Hi-Panther
Playlist style: Pop, (Female) Rap, Reguetón, EDM, Throwbacks
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: I love the energy our studio owner, Lisa, has fostered at CORE MVMT – it’s been the same friendly, fun, and non-judgmental space since my very first time on a reformer with Lisa back in 2020 (pre-Covid baby!). I wasn’t sure if life would lead me back to teaching group fitness classes, but I’m sooooo happy it did! I’ve been practicing Pilates for over a decade now, I started with mat and used to teach POP Pilates in college. Teaching pilates is such a rewarding joy in my life, helping people reach their fitness goals and feel strong & confident – I couldn’t think of anything better.

Meghan | Instructor
Favorite move: I love a good Leg Circle break 😉 or a classic plank!
Playlist style: It’s a mix of everything – a lot of current pop with some afro beats thrown in.
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: I quickly realized these classes were some of the only 45 minutes I was truly present in body and not thinking about work or some to-do list — such an incredible gift! Lisa has built such a welcoming community at CORE MVMT and I just needed to be a part of it to help others discover the same peace and healing I had found! I discovered Pilates after a near death accident 4 years ago and it quickly became an integral part of my recovery. Pilates has helped me heal and regain my strength — allowing me to not only walk again but even surf 🙂 After 10 surgeries, it’s the one thing I can continue to rely on to help me get back to myself.

Tommy | Instructor
Favorite move: Super Single-Leg Squats! Anything at the back platform!
Playlist style: Hip Hop to Dance/Electronic
Why I love CORE MVMT/Pilates: Fitness has played a huge role in my life — the time spent unplugged and focused on self improvement has been transformative for me. This experience is something I look to generate for my students and is what motivates me to teach! I also love being part of a community here, surrounded by the best humans around in my favorite neighborhood in the city. I’m all about the mind/body experience CORE MVMT creates. It reminds me to slow down and take my time, in and out of the studio.
