X-CORE Studio is a collaboration between two good friends: Cora and Elaine. Both ladies have worked in the tech industry for years, but their real love has always been health and fitness. Cora and Elaine met serendipitously teaching over 5 years ago, and their love for high-intensity Pilates-inspired workouts blossomed into a business dream come true. Cora is a fashionista who loves to experiment with healthy cooking and enjoys finding herbal remedies for the body and soul. Elaine has a background in and passion for dance but had to quit dancing after several injuries. She quickly found the workout helped her through her fitness slump and immediately fell in love with the method. The dynamic duo partnered to create X-CORE, and has proudly rooted itself in the heart of Oakland, the best of the bay!

X-CORE classes are high energy and will challenge you the entire 30 minutes with fun music and best-in-class instructors! Since climbing mimics the body’s natural movement of walking. On the other hand, X-CORE uses intense anaerobic intervals to challenge the most elite athletes.
