Dancers and performers

“I have been a client of Core Arts Pilates for the past 7 years. Every week I have to go without my session I can feel my body crave it. They have helped me regain strength post surgery and trained me for professional tryouts. I call them my Core Arts Family because they take the time to really get to know you and your body.”

Madi R., Yelp — Placentia, CA

“BY FAR the best Classical Pilates studio in Orange County. Sharmila and her team are the best of the best. Not only do they specialize in groundbreaking techniques for dancers, they can truly help serve anyone in meeting their personal goals.”

Karly K., Yelp/Google — Newport Beach, CA

Rehabilitation and recovery

“My daughter tore her ACL and required surgery. Originally it was expected by her doctors and physical therapists to be a 12-month process to get back to a competitive level, but with the help of Core Arts, she was 100% in 8 months. It’s still a part of her regular training and she is stronger than ever.”

Bill W., Yelp — Orange County, CA

“You have done wonders for me post stroke. The ease of doing online sessions in New York is almost like being there in person. Both flexibility and increased movement on the affected side continues to improve even after eight years post stroke.”

Warren C., Yelp — New York, NY

“Core Arts has changed not only my son’s body, but his mind. He looks forward to his weekly sessions because in addition to the amazing training, he is learning the power of positive thinking and setting intentions to achieve his personal goals.”

Elizabeth E., Yelp — Hacienda Heights, CA

Whole-person transformation

“I started taking classes at Core Arts 3 times a week. At first I couldn’t even get off the reformer without a helping hand. On November 14th I slipped into my size 14 dress and danced the night away celebrating our 25th anniversary. I’m in Paris now on my second honeymoon — climbing stairs, walking for miles, and enjoying this magnificent city. Thank you.”

Martha P., Yelp — Garden Grove, CA

“At 60 years old, they are turning back the hands of time. They are giving me the physical strength to feel like I am back in my 30s.”

Kathleen R., Yelp — Newport Beach, CA

“I thoroughly enjoy every session at Core Arts. Sharmila and her staff are warm, positive, and dedicated to transforming your body, spirit, and supporting your entire being.”

“This is not just your regular studio where you drop in, take a session, then go home. Here, you will be greeted with warmth and love every single time you walk through the door.”

Jennifer M., Google

“Sharmila is not only my daughter’s Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor — she is my daughter’s mentor, friend, and someone she can convey her thoughts and feelings to. We love Core Arts Pilates and Gyrotonic.”

Sandy Y., Yelp — Rosemead, CA

“You can’t help but feel nothing but love from the positive energy that extends from the staff and the studio space itself. Even when faced with pandemic shutdowns, they didn’t skip a beat.”

Kelly G., Yelp — Tustin, CA

“Words cannot even begin to express just how much I love Core Arts, Sharmila, and the entire staff. Sharmila, the rest of the Core Arts staff, and even the other students at the studio are an incredible group of people who care about you as a person just as much as they do the Pilates that they teach.”
