New to Core? Get This Groupon Deal Now!

$49 for Personal Training and Pilates Classes ($158 Total Value)




Without fitness instructors, ambitious sit-ups become reluctant crunches and eventually degenerate into gym-floor naps. Stay alert with today's Groupon: for $49, new clients get a personal training session (an $80 value), a Pilates equipment class (a $38 value), and two group classes (a $40 value) at Core Sport Pilates Fitness Studio (a $158 total value), with two locations in Plymouth. Group classes and personal training sessions are held at the Penniman Avenue location; Pilates equipment classes are held at the Main Street location.
The United States Pilates Association–qualified posture-improvers at Core Sport mold bodies with routines that bolster core strength and extend flexibility. Personal trainers meld heart-pumping cardio and strength training with balancing poses and flexibility maneuvers that are custom-formulated to each individual client. Pilates equipment classes center around devices such as the tower, which harnesses the power of spring resistance to give muscles the beauty and resilience of a fully-compressed pogo stick. A potent arsenal of Gratz apparatuses, free weights, resistance bands, and medicine balls facilitate a stretchy, bouncy fitness regimen. Seasoned Pilates instructors lead gaggles of Pilates practitioners in one-hour group classes scheduled daily, such as the floor-based Pilates mat class and a boot camp class that aims to fortify cardiovascular endurance. Core-strength Pilates training develops the body as a whole rather than a collection of parts and zones, so clients don't run the risk of an odd number of abs.
Mirrors inside Core Sport's studio reflect a playground of workout gear arranged on pale wood floors. Windows cast calming natural light onto the leg-lifts, back-bends, and face-squeezes of practicing students.
Core Sport's new client offers, such as one free week of group classes, a $35 personal training session, or one free Pilates equipment class are available even after this Groupon has been redeemed.

Improve Your Golf Game

Want to get the most out of your golf swing?  Some of the most common problems during your golf swing are caused by physical limitations in your body.  These same limitations can cause pain in different areas as well.  






Here are some examples of common swing faults that can be helped with proper exercises specific to your swing:


Loss of Posture or C-Posture (think hunched over)
This will cause a limitation in your backswing and lack of rotation resulting in limited distance and lower back pain.


Early Extension (your butt comes away from the back line)
Your hips are coming closer to the ball during the downswing which causes the upper body to lift up and results in inconsistencies with ball striking.


Simple at home tip: Balance is key when it comes to golf.  You should be able to balance standing on one leg at a time for at least 30 seconds each side.  Now challenge yourself and repeat by doing it with your eyes closed!    


"After working with Jaime, I could see greater core and abdominal strength and more flexibility all over. I could not believe how much my balance had improved in my golf swing. With my increased shoulder turn, I was 25-30 yards longer than before." -Bill C.


At Core Sport we have training from Titleist which can provide you with the tools and corrective exercises to increase your range of motion, stability, and strength specific to whichever swing fault ails you.  Book a private session today or reserve your spot in one of our golf workshops throughout the year!

Pilates is the Ticket to Trimming Down Quick

Weddings, Graduations & More!  Trim off those unwanted inches quickly.  Take it from Pippa Middleton who claims weekly Pilates sessions helped her look stunning in the recent Royal Wedding:



Add a mix of Pilates equipment classes into your schedule will make you stronger during your mat session.  A supported Teaser on the Towers translates to an effortless Classical Teaser on the mat.  Another benefit to spring based resistance found in equipment classes is that it will increase long, lean muscles instead of allowing bulking like with weight training.  You too can look amazing in time for your summer wedding, graduation party, high school or family reunion...Pilates is the ticket!  


Want to enhance your summer sport games?  Pilates can help with that too!  Athletes such as offensive lineman Ruben Brown, golfer Tiger Woods, basketball star Jason Kiss, pitcher Curt Schilling, and even David Beckham attend weekly sessions. 



Let Core Sport help you reach your fitness goal with our Summer Special Pilates 6 Pack: (includes 3 mat & 3 Tower classes) only $126!
