THE CORE PLACE

Pilates-based fitness studio ChaiseFitness is now The Core Place.

Claudia Aarts-Schreiber is re-opening her three year old franchise fitness business as an independent studio. The Core Place is in downtown Maplewood. At the new studio, Claudia and her team offer dynamic Pilates-based training in an adaptive format responsive to the needs of the

individual. She will continue to offer group classes using the Pilates chair and resistance bands but with varying intensities to accommodate clients at every level. Classes will also include TRX, Pilates Mat, and Restorative Stretch. The Core Team is developing unique classes with newer props and equipment. Group classes are small, 8-10 clients, to maximize individual attention, safety, and proper form. In addition, The Core Place offers private training for core strengthening and alignment using a combination of Pilates Reformer, GYROTONIC® , TRX, and functional training. Private sessions may be one-on-one, a duet session, or a personalized small group. These private sessions cater to a client’s individual needs and preferences. Claudia’s passion for movement started at age seven while recovering from childhood leukemia; regaining her strength with ballet classes. During her 12 year international professional dance career, Claudia explored various body conditioning methods to help avoid injury. After her career in dance, she trained in Pilates and GYROTONIC® to coach athletes and dancers in Manhattan. Claudia brings her love of movement to her Core Community here in Maplewood.
