Core Studio Pilates

The refomer is just like that bright morning cup of coffee! ☀️ ☕️

Laura Pittman is the proud new owner of Core Studio Pilates! Allow us to to share her bio!

Laura graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science and is a fully certified STOTT PILATES® Instructor. Laura’s concentrated areas of studies were in Exercise Physiology, Exercise Testing, Exercise Prescription, Kinesiology, Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Pharmacology. She is trained under the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health Fitness Specialist and is CPR certified. Laura’s studies in cardiac rehabilitation led her to Carolina’s Medical Center Main for a period of time where she oversaw and prescribed patients’ exercise prescriptions, calculated and analyzed body fat, measured blood pressure, and analyzed EKGs to monitor heart rhythms. This experience fueled her passion and led to more intensive training in exercise testing with a concentration in submaximal, maximal, and stress testing to determine one’s VO2 max, heart EKG, and cardiac output. She continues her body fat analysis work at Core Studio Pilates as a service to clients.

Laura was introduced to Pilates as a teenager shortly after being diagnosed with rotoscoliosis. Pilates helped to improve her posture, alignment, strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. It also ignited an interest to dig deeper into her kinesiology studies. Laura’s experience enables her to work with any population, from the fit and active, to special populations such as cardiac clients, children, elderly, Prenatal, Postnatal, and many more. She is a teacher for Core Compassion Project, a 501(c)3 offering post-rehabilitative Pilates to women and men battling breast cancer.

Laura’s specialty is Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates training. She is certified as a Specialist under Jennifer Giann’s world-renowned Fusion Pilates Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates program. As a certified Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates specialist, and borrowing from her own experience as a three-time mom, she created Laura Pittman Mommielates, a Pilates program designed specifically for a woman’s needs during pregnancy, after pregnancy ,and diastasis recti recovery.

Laura Pittman!

Core has always been more than a studio. It’s been a place of growth, friendship, laughter, and connection. These photos capture just a few of the moments that made the past 15 years unforgettable.

Laura has been part of this journey since the beginning, and I can’t imagine anyone better to lead Core into its next chapter. I am so proud of her and so excited to watch the studio thrive under her guidance.

And while you may be totally shocked…I’m not going far! I’ll be renting a small space from Laura, mentoring teachers in training, and focusing on all things Core Compassion Project. I cannot wait to share more with you soon!
