CORE40 Nob Hill is a Pilates and Lagree studio offering challenging, high-quality classes on Mega Reformers. The workout is consistently described as tough, intense, and a great ab-focused session that leads to sweating and feeling it for days afterward. The 40-minute classes focus on slow, controlled movements and go by quickly. The instructors receive significant praise for being encouraging, kind, and providing clear instructions and demonstrations. They are noted for giving helpful modifications, fixing form, keeping the class energized, and offering guidance tailored to all levels, including complete beginners. The studio itself is clean and staff are helpful. The check-in process uses a tablet at the front desk. Some reviewers found the Nob Hill studio smaller than other locations, with dim lighting and no natural light from windows. The machines show some wear on the padding. Grippy socks are available for purchase but are not mandatory. Many first-time visitors are attracted by a promotional first-class rate. The overall experience is frequently called awesome and amazing, leaving participants feeling stronger and eager to return.
I had a great class at core40. The instructor (Annie) was very helpful with my form and checked in with me during every exercise. I arrived 10 minutes early to get aquatinted with the reformer machine as it was my first time, which was very helpful. I got an amazing workout and I can’t wait to see how sore I will... read full comment

Their reform machines are new and numbered. The mirrors are only placed on one side. Otherwise a pretty cool place to drop a sweat

I got spoiled at this studio with some of the best instructors! Alexis, Paige, Melody and Chris are all awesome! I've since moved from SF but they've set the bar REALLY high for other studios and it's been really hard for me to find great instructors such as themselves.
