Ive been doing Lagree style pilates for years now, it is the only workout that I dont get tired of after 6 months. Heartcore instructors are wonderful, each class is so challenging and rewarding, I cannot recommend enough!

This place is right around the corner from my house and my new favorite studio! Very clean, spacious and the trainers are the best. It is such a great workout that targets muscles I never even knew I had. I also love that it is 40 min vs 50/60 min, I go way harder during the shorter amount of time. Love.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Heartcore!!! So happy this place opened. After just a few classes I already felt/saw a HUGE difference in my core stability muscles!!! I had no idea how of a different more core strength would make. I high plank in yoga like its no ones business now!Instuctors are all super knowledgeable and helpful!!! Alisa is super friendly and wants the studio feel like home!

I have lived in the Peninsula for a couple years since moving from New York City and have found it tough to find classes that are challenging or on the same level.As a fitness enthusiast, I’ve been very picky and selective on classes and instructors I attend.... Heartcore is amazing. I love The way my body feels after.... the results I’m seeing.. and the vibes of the studios are welcoming for all levels.Alisa, is incredible... not only is she body goals, but she is very involved and loves correcting form so we get the maximum Benefit of each move.I highly recommend these classes/studios for anyone! It will become a healthy addiction :)

The Heartcore San Mateo studio is spacious, bright, sparkling clean and just... beautiful. I used to take a lot of yoga and barre classes, and Ive found that Heartcore combines my favorite elements of both. Ive come to see the 40 minutes of class as a chance to focus, breathe consciously, and challenge myself and the experience is meditative. Instructors are positive, knowledgeable, very kind, and always check in with me to see how my body is feeling before class. Ive seen remarkable results in my core strength and balance, and I am consistently sore in all the right places after one class (hello, obliques!). The small class size (about 10 people) makes for a friendly, community feel, which is helpful when taking on such a hard workout! If you have time, I recommend staying after class to stretch-- the instructors always lead a few minutes of cool-down stretching that makes for a complete and relaxing end to class.

All the instructors are super supportive and encouraging, I never bother looking at who the instructor is as every single one I’ve had has been great.They fix your technique and body position but consistently remind you you’re doing great which is really helpful during such a challenging workout. I feel like my strength has really improved in a short time. The studio is also super clean and very aesthetically pleasing.

Love this studio! I no longer live in the area but always make a point to take a class when I am in town. The workout is HARD but the instructors are very patient and give clear directions and great form corrections. Studio is very clean and playlists are great. Love Heartcore!

I started taking classes daily at the San Mateo studio recently. I love the location and how clean and spacious the studio is. I have had several different instructors and they were all very dedicated. Each instructor is one of a kind who helps bring the best out of you and points out ways to improve your form. Most importanly it’s so much fun taking class with every one or them as they make you want to come back. I love Heartcore! It’s really a full body workout to help strengthen your core!

Heartcore is one of the most efficient and intense workout classes I have ever taken. It is only 40 minutes, but you will work every part of your body during the class. I am always sore in the right places and feel really good afterwards. The studio is clean, spacious, and beautiful. I easily find street parking. So far I have taken classes with Elysha and Sofia. They are both kind, positive, knowledgeable (always explaining/demonstrating the moves), and helpful. I highly recommend Heartcore to anyone!

What a workout!! Absolutely love heartcore! If you are questioning whether to try it or not DO IT!! I have never been this strong! I love all the facilities! Easy parking as well!!Book a class!! You’ll be hooked!!

As a long time customer at the RWC location who loves this workout and community, I highly recommend checking out the San Mateo studio. It is gorgeous!! The owners really did an amazing job with the location and design. It is truly beautiful and the workout is incredible, as always, thanks to the amazing instructors. I go to SM for a once a week fix. Cant get enough of this workout and will travel - its so worth it!!!

LOVE heartcore!! It is such a fun way to exercise and you work up quite a sweat! The instructors are accommodating, knowledgeable, and they make you feel super comfortable. They help you with your form and are very supportive! Cant get enough of this place

The 40 minute workout is very challenging yet it is one of the best workout for my core. Alisa and Chrissy, the owners and instructors, are very friendly and welcoming to newbies. They are awesome. I highly recommend this studio.

This is my new favorite studio! I love how there are multiple time slots available, all the instructors are super hands on and attentive to your form and the studio is clean and inviting. Your muscles will definitely be shaking within the first few minutes. I’m so glad they’re in San Mateo now!

I’ve tried so many studios to find the perfect fit. I think I’ve found it at Heartcore. The instructors are supportive, the workout is challenging, the music is great and the Heartcore community is awesome. I just finished my first month as a “Heartbreaker” and looking forward to more.

Im so glad I found Heartcore!The instructors here (Ive met 4 so far) are all very professional and friendly even to a total beginner like me. They would watch my posture and position to make sure Im burning the most without hurting myself.Also the environment here is cheerful, neat and modern. I like how they use a little essential oils and Dyson fans to distribute fresh and cool air while we are sweating like crazy.Definitely a place I would highly recommend to everyone.

Ive been doing this workout for almost 3 years, first at Redwood City and now at the San Mateo studio, which is their newest location. It is a spacious studio, with thoughtful details everywhere. Its organized, charming, open and clean.This is the best workout Ive done to date. The group of wonderful instructors just makes it even better. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and always eager to improve themselves & help us get the most out of this comprehensive workout. You will get the best core of your life - that is not a marketing tagline- it is 100% true. In addition to the physical benefits, your mental toughness will be challenged and taken to a whole new level! Give it a shot!

I love the semi-private feel of the studio. There are only 10 machines, so only 10 people at any one time, which means instructors can walk around and check form, to make sure you are getting the maximum work. Ive taken 5 classes from 5 different teachers, and have really enjoyed each one. Every instructor has a different style, but each one works you hard. Ive enjoyed so many different workouts, and come away after each class feeling as if my muscles have been worked, but Im ready to stand up straighter.

So so happy that Heartcore opened a studio nearer to my home. I absolute love their pilates machines and classes! Always get the best workouts there that make me feeling stronger than Ive ever been. The new studio is amazing, if only they could open one in Foster City where I live ;)

The most efficient 40 minutes workout youll experience! You will learn how to engage muscles in parts of your body that you rarely utilize, especially your abs and core. If you are looking for a class that can help you strengthen and tone your body, definitely try out Heartcore

This is one insanely efficient workout! It might only be 40 minutes, but this class works out every part of your body. All the instructors I’ve had are really nice and helpful, and they take the time to correct your form to target the right muscles and avoid injuries. Even though the machine can be intimidating for beginners, it’s pretty straightforward to use. They also provide modifications for beginners for certain exercises to make sure you can practice your form. I highly recommend!

These classes are going to kick your butt in the best way! The instructors are friendly and really helpful and attentive in getting you to your best form. Every class is different, so you will never get bored and are guaranteed to walk away sore in places you didnt think you could be. I love that classes are semi-private also - its never intimidating!

I love all the feelings after a great workout: the endorphins, sweat dripping from your forehead to your eyes, muscles still quivering long after youve left the studio. Heartcore has you feeling these things and so much more! Ive taken 100s of group classes of various types of workouts and I think Heartcore really takes you to that next level. You get pushed mentally and physically in every class. The instructors are motivating and always help to correct and improve your form. Its crazy how much you can accomplish in less than an hour!!

I really recommend Heartcore. Their enthusiasm and energy are a bonus to their careful observation and corrections of your posture and position during the workouts. This instruction makes you work out correctly without injury and really, really gives you a great workout. Thanks!

I’m so glad they opened a location here. The first real Lagree studio in downtown San Mateo just a 5 minute walk from Caltrain. The studio is clean and the machines are in good condition. Great workout every time and the instructors are all consistently good. They do not provide sock rentals or towels so be sure to bring your own. They do sell socks however.

I love love love the San Mateo studio! Super clean and the instructors there are great! Each class is fun and challenging!

I have been to the Heartcore location in Menlo Park which is great, but San Mateo is awesome! the atmosphere and set up is great. Instructors at San Mateo have all been amazing!

Ive tried several megaformer studios in Bay Area and I have settled at Heartcore for good. Of course the experience varies between instructors but everyone I had a chance to try had high level of professionalism. My absolute favorite instructors are Alisa & Christy (co-founders!), and Sofia. They bring in not only good instructions but also high energy which makes me feel the burn so effectively. Id (and have been doing so ) recommend Heartcore to anyone of my friends.

This is a very challenging and effective work out. The instructors are fantastic and they offer a great variety of class times. The routine differs everytime. The equipment is clean and updated. iHeart!

I started Heartcore about a month ago and love it! Its great strength training combined with stretching.

I’ve tried a few Pilates megaformer studios and seriously none of them compare to Heartcore! From the one-on-one adjustments to the words of encouragement throughout the entire 40 minutes, I really feel like the instructors are present and care about their clients. I have definitely found my favorite studio 😊

One word that comes to mind when I think about Pilates at Heartcore is AMAZING! I have been a member for years at the Redwood City location and was thrilled when they opened up another location in San Mateo. The instructors are supportive, motivating, attentive and seem to be really passionate about what they do. I have been to many pilates studios in the area and one of the things that stands out about Heartcore, besides their skilled instructors, is the pace and strategy they use. I really enjoy the slow movements as it allow me to really focus/bring awareness to activate my muscles and brings a burn and shake which tells me, Im firing! Its also one of the few workouts that has been able to reduce my back pain because I can adapt each movement as needed to ensure I dont trigger pain along with strengthening my core. I highly recommend this place. Its a life changer.

Heartcore is the best workout around. A strength workout that loads the muscles in a way where it becomes a cardio and stretching workout as well. My body has changed so much since I first began doing heartcore. My chronic back pain is gone, and I’m moving differently than I did before. I now know what it means to truly have a strong core and how essential that is to remaining injury free. I can’t recommend enough. 3 times a week consistently will change your life!

Ive been going to Heartcore in Redwood City and Menlo Park for over 2 years. It is an amazing workout! When they opened up a new location in San Mateo, I had to check it out. It is a great space - lots of light, great fans (because you will sweat!), and every machine faces the mirror to help you keep good form. I highly recommend all of Heartcores locations, but theyve really raised the bar with this one!

Super knowledgeable instructors and an amazing, total body workout in 40 minutes! Highly recommend!

With 6 years of dance, a couple of 5ks/10ks, a half marathon, working at a gym, a degree in health care, and working at a sports clinic for the last 4 years, I have never been disciplined enough to work on my core. I did my share of kickboxing and boot camp classes, but it was always too intense on my back. I have a herniated disc and ever since I started doing pilates over a month ago, its helped alleviate some pain. Or maybe Im so sore from the workouts, I dont notice it as much. Either way I highly recommend Heartcore. The studio is cute and clean. Street parking or nearby parking lots. There are mirrors lining up an entire wall. Bathroom is stocked with some pre/post work out essentials. Filtered water station available. Ive taken 4 different instructors, all really friendly and helpful. Ive done my share of classes with instructors at other places who just yell at you what to do and push you to the point of injury, but not these ladies. Each one will come over to make sure you are doing it correctly or will give you a modification without making you feel embarrassed or weak. They all have their own styles, but will each give you a core burning workout.

Heartcore challenges my body like no other workout does! The instructors are so motivating and the San Mateo studio is a beautiful space full of natural light and good vibes!

New to heartcore. Have tried it for about two weeks and Im addicted. Its extremely challenging and the moves are so painful....but its the good pain. Every time I go, I feel that everything is instantly tightening. The best part of heartcore is that its only 40 mins and you get a total body workout.

So happy Heartcore came to San Mateo! Great workout and this studio is gorgeous

I had never taken a Pilates class before walking into heartcore a little over a year ago. I was instantly hooked (and sore for days!). The instructors are amazing and the workout really does work. I enjoy taking alisa’s classes because she explains each move with so much detail and really makes you work those key muscles in your core, arms and legs. Her killer playlists are always a bonus too. Heartcore is a great total body workout and I always walk out feeling so much stronger than before!

I have been waiting for years for Heartcore to come closer to me. I couldn’t be happier, love the workouts and instructors!

Chrissy is the BEST!! Love my Sunday’s!!!

If you want a complete core workout, this is the place to go ❤️
