CORE Re-Opening Update

Dear CORE community,

I’ve reviewed client input, met with my team and reviewed a considerable amount of information from public health officials, our industry organization and other studio owners to craft a plan for reopening the studio. 

Re-Opening Schedule

Starting Monday, May 11, CORE will reopen in phases. I am carefully watching both COVID case reports and death rates for Fulton County to help guide our timing. If we see an uptick in case reports and deaths, I will adjust this timeline. 

  • Monday, May 11: CORE will reopen for Physical Therapy services with Dr. Charlotte Salgado. Charlotte will be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 am until 5 pm. She will continue to offer virtual PT visits during these hours for clients who wish to avoid direct person-to-person contact. If you’re hurting, book now! We anticipate Charlotte will be busy and we want you to get your spot!

  • Monday, May 18: CORE will reopen for private Pilates instruction with 1-2 teachers in the studio per hour. With this limited schedule, we also anticipate that instructor time will be in demand, so please be ready to start booking sessions on Monday, May 4.

  • Monday, June 1: CORE will increase its staffing level to 2-4 teachers in the studio per hour.   

  • Ongoing: We will continue to offer our semi-private and group classes in our virtual studio via Zoom as long as social distancing requirements are in place.  In addition, for those who are not comfortable returning to in-studio instruction, we will continue to offer online private instruction.



Equipment Rentals

Due to social distancing requirements, we are reorganizing the studio. We will have a limited amount of equipment that we will offer for in-home rental to members of the studio who wish to have equipment for their sessions but do not feel comfortable returning to in-studio instruction. 

Equipment will be available for rent starting the week of May 3rd, and we anticipate equipment will not be needed back in the studio until July 1 at the earliest. 

Rentals will be available to current members who are taking at least one private lesson per week. If you’d like to reserve a piece of equipment for your use at home, please fill out this form.




Changes in Studio Flow & Routines

As you might imagine, the studio will look and feel different as we move back into our physical space. All changes we are making are designed to ensure the safety of my employees and our client community. Our team has to remain healthy to serve you. We are devoted to your health and well-being, and we want to do everything we can to reduce the chance of COVID exposure at CORE. 

We’ve created a web page outlining the changes you can expect in the studio, which you can view here or just scroll to the bottom of this email, below the online group class schedule. Get comfortable before clicking through ... it’s a lot! We are being thorough because we think your health and peace of mind are SUPER important!




Reserve Equipment Protection Now!

One of our new post-COVID policies is that each client must bring his/her own straps and loops and towel to cover their equipment. We have a shipment of beautiful straps, loops and towels coming, and we are offering a bundle that includes reformer handles/loops or gyrotonic straps plus a moisture-wicking, nonslip towel for $119 (a $127 value). Buy your equipment protection bundle in May, and you can add a pair of toe sox for just $10 more (a $17 value).  Click here to pre-order your bundle!

If you prefer to rent equipment protection, we will offer rentals (towel + straps) for $8 per visit or as a $30 add-on to your monthly membership for unlimited rentals. All rented straps and towels will be laundered between clients for your safety.
