An Atlanta-based pilates studio and physical therapy practice.
Build strength, mobility, and confident movement for midlife and beyond.
Welcome to CORE Morningside
CORE Morningside is a multi-modality Pilates studio and physical therapy practice in Atlanta for active adults navigating midlife. We work with people who want to move better, feel stronger, and stay engaged in the activities they love, without chasing quick fixes or trends.
We bring physical therapy and movement training together under one roof, combining Pilates, GYROTONIC®, Redcord, and kettlebells with thoughtful, individualized care. Our studio has been part of Atlanta’s Pilates community since the late 1990s, and that experience shows in how we work and who we’re here for.
Why Staying Active in Midlife Starts to Feel Harder
As our bodies change in midlife, staying active can start to feel more complicated. You may be noticing:
Stiffness, weakness, or reduced mobility
Pain or flare-ups that interrupt exercise
Confusion about whether you need physical therapy, Pilates, or something else
Frustration with programs that feel generic or don’t stick
Underneath it all, many people are tired of guessing—and want clear guidance, accountability, and expert support they can trust. You’re not broken. You just need the right approach for where you are now.
Expert Guidance for Changing Bodies
At CORE Morningside, we understand that midlife is complex—especially if you’re balancing career, family, and caregiving. Our team brings together:
Highly trained Pilates, Gyrotonic, Redcord and Kettlebell instructors
Orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy
A shared philosophy that movement should feel safe, effective, and empowering
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fitness or endless rehab. We believe in meeting you where you are and guiding you forward, sustainably.
A Clear, Supportive Path Forward
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
1. Start with the right level of support
Begin with a physical therapy evaluation, a package of three Pilates, Gyrotonic, Redcord or Kettlebell private sessions, or three semi-private Pilates or Gyrotonic classes—based on your needs.
2. Get a clear recommendation
We help you understand how your body moves and what will support you best.
3. Build strength, mobility, and confidence
With a sustainable plan that evolves as your body changes.
Three Ways to Get Started
-
Physical Therapy Welcome Package
Best if you’re managing pain, injury, or uncertainty
If pain, injury, or physical changes are interfering with movement—or if you’re unsure what kind of exercise is safe—a physical therapy welcome package in Atlanta is often the best first step. This three session package provides clarity, relief, and a plan forward, whether that is a longer PT treatment plan or a transition to our fitness offerings.
-
Private Welcome Package
Best if you want individualized guidance and a clear recommendation
This three private session package in Atlanta allows us to understand how your body moves, build confidence with Pilates, Gyrotonic, Redcord or Kettlebell exercise, and recommend the most effective next step—whether that’s continued private instruction, group classes, or physical therapy support.
-
Semi Private Welcome Package
Best if you’re feeling stable and ready for group movement
Our semi-private Pilates and Gyrotonic classes in Atlanta are small, supportive, and carefully taught. This package of three classes allows you to experience the Pilates and Gyrotonic equipment in a class setting while receiving guidance on whether group classes are the right long-term fit.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you’re unsure which option is right, you don’t have to decide alone. Book a 30-minute consultation call to discuss exactly what you want and need.
Pilates + More
Intelligent movement. Thoughtfully integrated.
At our Atlanta Pilates studio and physical therapy clinic, we use four complementary movement methods to support your strength, mobility, and long-term health.
-
The foundation of our work. Classical Pilates for structure and progression; Clinical Pilates for injury history, chronic pain, and evolving bodies. Offered in private sessions and small-group Pilates equipment classes — reformer, tower, wunda chair and mat work.
-
Fluid, three-dimensional movement that supports spinal health, joint mobility, and whole-body coordination. Offered in private sessions on the pulley tower and specialized equipment — Jump Stretch board and Archway — and semi private group Gyrotonic tower classes.
-
Neuromuscular training that improves stability, coordination, and efficient movement patterns—often used to bridge physical therapy and exercise. Offered in physical therapy and private sessions.
-
Intentional, progressive strength work that supports bone health, resilience, and real-life capacity. Offered in private sessions to focus on your individual needs.
You’re never locked into one method.
Your program evolves as your body does.
Physical Therapy at CORE Morningside
Expert Hands-On Care with a Clear Path Forward
We offer orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy in Atlanta for clients who want more than short-term relief. Our physical therapy model is designed to:
Begin with skilled, hands-on manual therapy
Gradually introduce movement and strength
Transition into supervised exercise through our Clinical Pilates or other fitness programming
Support long-term fitness with occasional PT tune-up visits

Without the right support, it’s easy to feel stuck—cycling between pain, rest, and frustration.
With the right plan:
You get stronger instead of more cautious
Your body moves better and feels better
Exercise supports your life instead of interrupting it
Aging feels active, not inevitable
You deserve care and community that help you move forward.
