PHOENIX — CorePlus, an Australian-based exercise studio company, opened its first location in the United States in Gilbert last month, according to a Wednesday press release.
The studio, which opened at Williams Field and Recker roads on Sept. 17, offers variations of yoga (heated mats) and pilates (mat and reformer).
Before debuting in the U.S., CorePlus has had more than 1.5 million visits across its 31 Australian studios. The first exercise studio opened in 2015.
The yoga set of classes includes hot yoga flow, warm slow flow and warm yin yoga.
Mat pilates at CorePlus tests strength and cardio while reformer pilates has participants go through athletic, strength and cardio training and is available in pre- and post-natal formats, according to the release.
The new Gilbert exercise hub will be managed by three local residents, including Katia Wesby, who has has nearly 12 years of experience as a pilates instructor.
“CorePlus Gilbert will be more than just a studio; it’s a space where people can grow, feel supported and truly connect — with themselves and with each other,” Wesby said in the release.
“Some days I need to reset, and I’ll do a Warm Slow Flow Yoga class — it’s like active meditation. Other days, I want to push myself in an Athletic Reformer session. No matter the class, it’s always about mindful movement and honoring your body.”
Besides the workouts, the studio offers lockers to secure belongings, changing rooms, showers and towel service.
Introductory memberships, which feature three weeks of unlimited classes, are $49 whereas class packages start at $35.
Foundation memberships, consisting of either six- or 12-month packages of unlimited yoga classes and 50 or 100 reformer pilates classes, are available for $1,200 and $2,000, respectively.
