Armone’s Core Connection

Good high intensity boxing class. Arms are still shaking from the workout. :) Unsure if it’s from exhaustion or the adrenaline rush. I went to the 7 am boxing class so street parking was easy to find. This studio also has spin bikes, punching bags, treadmills, free weights and a Pilates reformer room in the back.
Bruno was the boxing instructor for the class. He had us warm up running on the treadmill or outside. I opted for the treadmill since it was in the low 50s this morning. There were two other students in the class besides me. Bruno had us do 3 or 4 different circuits. My memory is a little hazy since it was early in the morning and I hadn’t had any breakfast plus I was still tired from the previous night’s workout. From what I remember, the hour-​long class involved box jumps (up-​down and side-​to-​side), punching the bag, working on punch routines with the instructor, side-​to-​side hops over the cones, smashing the medicine ball, and other ab-​core work.
Overall, it was a great workout. Everybody was friendly. It was my first time at this studio; I plan on going back again.

I took a pilates class for the first time last night at Armone’s Core Connection. The reformers have alway been very intimidating to me but my instructor made me feel so comfortable learning how to use it.
I had Laura for my instructor and she made my first experience with pilates the best ever. The way she articulates movements in class is very impactful and easy to follow. She gave hands on adjustments and made the class fun while also being a great workout.
I would definitely recommend coming to this studio and to take Laura’s class! I will be continuing to take classes here.

This review is long overdue. First and foremost I want to say I hate the gym like really dislike.
I started at Armones nearly two months ago. I’m a runner and had this misconception if I can run 26+miles Pilates and a spin or circuit class will be easy. Well, let’s say the first week was very humbling for me.
Armones classes are taught by AMAZING, upbeat talented people. The classes are full of super sweet all aged men and women. My mood feels happier and I can officially say I see a transformation in my body. My husband does as well. My posture and running time is way better as well.
So if you are thinking about taking a class. I really recommend Armones. It’s probably the only butt kicking you will appreciate and come back for more.

I first heard about Armone’s through ClassPass, and signed up for their Circuit and Cycle class. After taking this class twice and a spinning class once, I can say with confidence Armone’s is a great place to workout.
The class sizes are small, so you are getting personal attention from the trainer the entire time. The Cycle/​Circuit in particular is a great way to get in killer cardio and strength training but goes by quickly because you are constantly switching moves. Thursday night spin with Tony is also a blast!
I highly recommend this place to anyone, and would encourage newbies to take advantage of the $ 5 for $ 45 new client special in January.

I found this place through Groupon, and am so glad I did. The pilates classes are really really good. All of the teachers I have had so far (Armone, Holly, and Jessica) explain things really well, make sure each student uses the correct technique, and are also very encouraging. I would recommend this studio to anyone and everyone.

I’m new to Pilates and decided to try a groupon Deal.
I got a great deal for 5 classes for this club.
I was a bit reluctant when I looked on the website since it looked like the staff were all very super-​fit, advanced trainers.
I ended up taking a couple classes with Holly. I think she does a great job at instructing, she seems very experienced, rigid and knowledgeable. I was curious to check out how the other instructors taught. I signed up with Jessica.
I want to say that she’s become my favorite instructor, she 100% takes the time to teach each client at their own pace and recognizes it takes time to accomplish new moves, positions, etc. She is very informative, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced and encouraging. I look forward to having my weekly class with her. I have tried other pilates places but by far Armone is superior, the instructors are hard core and push you hard. I have never had a class there where I wasn’t pushed to the max,(but completely safe) it’s an incredible place to take classes.
Due to Jessica’s teaching style, I signed up for 20 more classes at Armone.
I have taken close to 10+ classes and due to her instruction I already feel more confident in class and I’m getting stronger each time.
I would HIGHLY recommend this club to ANYONE. I would also highly recommend Jessica as well. As a beginner I won’t lie, it was pretty difficult (not having dance experience or similar athletic abilities or experience like most of the trainers there) but I feel the instructors and training this club has to offer, it will make anyone want to start or continue to incorporate Pilates into their life long fitness regimen.

I took the circuit training class and it was awesome! Great workout! Will go again. It had cardio, resistance training and it definitely pushes you to your limit. Check this place out.

YOU’VE GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE OUT! I love coming to Armone’s Core Connection to do Pilates and workout. I am a guy and at first I did not know what Pilates was. A year later, washboard abs. Besides getting results, the staff of instructors are very nice, courteous, friendly, motivating, and inspirational. I would not have been able to complete my 1^st FULL marathon if it wasn’t for this particular Pilates studio. During my training for my first marathon, Pilates strengthen my legs and the instructors made sure of that. When I felt like signing up for 26.2 miles was a bad idea, they told me that I was strong and can do it and they helped to strengthen my legs and core to complete it. Mentally and physically, they help me through it all. So, yeah I think they are the BEST ! ! !

Love… love this place. Love pilates, love the vibe, love the way I feel afterwards! Definitely worth a go! Say hello to Holly for me, she will work you!

I wanted to write an update because I had the opportunity to take reformer pilates classes at another studio. I originally credited the reformer machine with the amazing, quick results (increased flexibility, strength and improved fitness targeting muscle groups super efficiently), but I can say now that it is absolutely due to THESE SPECIFIC CLASSES at Armone’s Core Connection. Even in the beginner classes I took at Armone’s, I got a great workout and it just was NOT the same at the other studio I tried where I barely walked away with a sweat and felt no better off physically or fitness-​wise. It’s over half a year later, and I still have the increased flexibility that I gained from only FIVE classes at Armone’s. I wish other reformer pilates classes were just as intense (in a good way) as Armone’s.

I loved the spin class with Elizabeth! Her energy, music and style is like no other. It’s almost like she is a spin DJ! I have spun with numerous instructors but always come back to Elizabeth. She has a following that go where ever she is teaching. It’s an awesome way to forget about your worries for an hour. She also loves to teach 2 hour classes and let me tell you they are incredible.
Besides Elizabeth I like the energy you feel at Armone’s. Although there is not a dedicated spin room, you are amongst all kinds of athletes doing everything from boxing to weights.
All in all I give Elizabeth and The Armone’s Core Connection an A+

Checked this place out this morning for one of their spin classes.
Armone’s is primarily a Pilates studio — their Pilates room has a good selection of all the typical apparatus (apparati?): reformers, chairs, cadillac, etc. My workout was in the front room of the studio. Cyclists be aware: there is not a dedicated cycle room. The bikes (which are smooth as silk) are moved from against the front window into the floor area between the machines and boxing bags. It’s a tight fit, and I think there are only 10 bikes. So you’re getting almost personal attention.
The class I attended was full, with some of the participants taking a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ class (first half cycle cardio, then they went into the Pilates room — AWESOME idea) and was taught by Elizabeth. Elizabeth is someone I’ve followed from other clubs because I like her music and energy. The gals in the class all seemed to have a good time, and by the end we were all dripping with sweat. (Which, they do provide towel service!)
Holly, the manager, was very friendly and showed me around (she actually took the class with us) and I got a friendly vibe from everyone working there this morning. I think the thing I’d be most intrigued to try is the Boxing/​Kickboxing class. Sounds like a good way to work out some aggression!
Parking for the 8:30am class was a snap, and I got a spot about 2 doors down from the studio. I’m sure later in the morning it wouldn’t be as easy.

What sets this studio apart from all others??? Come and find out why the classes are booked and the buzz is in the air! Such commitment to clients achieving goals and the quality of instructors is top notch. Pilates has always been the focus of this studio, but now clients get to try other forms of great workouts like boxing, circuit classes and SPIN. Friendly and skilled staff, cancel your gym membership it’s all here;))

Great spot for spinning and workout classes. I went today for a spin class with Jay and he was awesome, I highly recommend stopping by for a drop in class.

Armone’s Core Connection studio is awesome. I found out about her studio through a Groupon Deal almost a year ago and thought it would be a good way to prevent injuries with all the running I was doing. I got way more than I hoped for.
Her workout finds every weak part of your body and works it out — hard. I’ve seen such an improvement in both my core and upper body strength. Plus, all of the instructors are very focused on form and breathing. The best part is that I’ve stayed injury free with running!
My husband was so impressed that he decided to try a class with me. It’s been great for his cycling and golf game.
I’d suggest her ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ pilates/​bootcamp classes, too. It’s totally worth the 6am start time.

Armone’s Pilate studio is AMAZING. Her staff is extremely professional and makes every minute, of every class count! I have been lucky enough to train with some incredible trainers over the years at some top notch facilities – Armone’s has by far exceeded my expectations and continues to do so!
Huge fan, convenient location and truly amazing classes! All of the instructors are certified and can teach all levels!

Wow what amazing classes, all skill levels and have been going since November 2010 1 day a week and now go 3 – 4 times a week
Changed my body and seeing results quickly
Strengthened my back and core and has enabled me to perform at higher levels in all my activities
Thank you Armone, Holly, Nicki and Fiona

Armone is amazing! I am an avid runner, but I have such trouble with my abs and arms. I purchased the Living Social deal and within 4 classes I can already see the difference. It’s unlike any other workout. I will definitely continue with the classes after my deal is up!

Yesterday, during Armone’s class, I sweat on the reformer for the very first time. I’m talking pure reformer — no jumpboard, etc. And it was a beginners’ class. I was impressed.
Don’t worry, I wiped the reformer down afterwards.
One thing: I do wish there had been more adjustments to our form during class. I suspect I was doing some moves incorrectly, especially because we were using springs much heavier than I’m used to.

Pilates at Core Connection literally changed my body. Armone and her instructors are amazing! The studio is not stuffy or snotty, just positive and fun. If I miss a class I am reminded to get my butt back in there-​just what we all need. I will never leave!
