Who we are
At Core Movement Pilates, we believe that movement is more than exercise— it’s connection, balance, and strength that starts deep within.
Founded by Claudia Martin, a master Pilates educator with over 18 years of teaching experience, Core Movement was built on the belief that Pilates should be accessible, empowering, and transformative for every body.
Our Story
What makes Claudia Martin’s approach to Pilates truly unique is her foundation in two of the most influential methods in modern movement— Classical Pilates and LAGREE Fitness.
Claudia trained directly under Sebastien Lagree, the creator of the revolutionary LAGREE Fitness method in 2007. His mentorship and certification gave Claudia the tools to integrate the endurance, intensity, and modern athleticism of LAGREE into her teaching style— creating dynamic, results-driven workouts that stay true to Pilates principles while pushing the boundaries of what the body can do.
Later that year Claudia was personally mentored and certified by Mari Winsor, one of the most iconic and respected figures in the Pilates world, often credited for bringing Classical Pilates to the mainstream. Under Mari’s guidance, Claudia deepened her understanding of the traditional method — learning the importance of precision, alignment, and control — and how the mind-body connection transforms strength into grace.
This rare combination of Classical Pilates discipline and LAGREE innovation allows Claudia to offer a truly balanced and intelligent approach to movement — one that builds deep, functional strength while improving posture, stability, and body awareness.
At Core Movement Pilates, every class reflects this philosophy— a thoughtful blend of classical precision, modern intensity, and mindful control designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live more connected to your core.
