WHAT IS CORE MVMT?
CORE MVMT is a community-minded, movement studio offering small, group fitness classes focused on strength building and personal development. Join us for an intense yet rewarding 45-minute Pilates class that works your entire body. Instructors aren’t fitness robots—they’re real, authentic humans who show up as themselves and meet you exactly where you are. Everyone is invited. We believe fitness should be accessible, studios should be welcoming, and classes should be judgment free. We’re trying to be the change we want to see in the fitness industry.rn
