Heartcore

Fantastic studio, you feel the zen as walk in, all your stresses of daily life wash away as 'you are there to be awesome' with yoga, pilates or barre. I've been doing the reformer pilates - excellent instruction with Lornezo, Rodrigo and Sofi. Well designed spacious with good feng shui, calm feeling. There is a reception in this studio, pukka tea, fruit and positive vibes all the way.

Love this studio. Best place for challenging reformer Pilates in London! Studio itself is very zen and relaxing, but classes are really intense and challenging

Heartcore (City) is a great gym. It’s not the budget gym option but it’s friendly, pretty, clean, smells great (of ginger - I think!) and the lighting is nice. Plus if you are forever forgetting your hair tie or deodorant - they’ve got you.

But the best thing about this gym is definitely Taylor. Taylor teaches Barre Core and he is literally amazing! Not only does he whip you into shape in a really tough class but he’s so fun, entertaining and gregarious you can’t help but enjoy yourself when you should be in pain. I’ve literally never enjoyed a class so much.

If you’re worried it’s more fun than exercise - you’re mistaken! Thanks to a couple of classes a week with Taylor over the course of a couple of months I’m stronger, leaner and more toned.

I’ve been to this class on days when I’ve not been in the best mood and left smiling and feeling great after and on microphone pep talk for the whole class at no extra charge. Talk about value add! The music is also fantastic!
