xBURN - modern pilates on the Xformer™

X˙CORE trains and specializes in high intensity pilates that is the best muscle-sculpting, core strength training workout designed for full body conditioning. This workout integrates the key elements of resistance and counter-resistance in a sequence that allows you to get the most out of each move. This encourages maximum exertion of one muscle group at a time in a low impact workout that reduces the risk of injury, allowing individuals with injuries participate while challenging our professional athletes.

What Is High Intensity Pilates?

High intensity Pilates takes the controlled, intentional movement of Pilates and turns up the intensity.

Using a modern reformer, spring-based resistance, and slow, controlled movements, high-intensity Pilates combines strength, endurance, and core training in one low-impact workout. Exercises are performed at a deliberately slow tempo to eliminate momentum and keep muscles under constant tension, increasing the challenge without adding impact.

Classes move continuously with minimal rest and quick transitions, keeping muscles engaged as you work through targeted and compound movements for the legs, glutes, core, obliques, and upper body. The goal is to progressively fatigue each muscle group while maintaining control, alignment, and form.

The result? A full-body workout that builds strength and muscular endurance, challenges stability, and brings the shake without running, jumping, or other high-impact movement.

Is high intensity Pilates good for beginners?

Yes. High intensity doesn't have to mean high impact or advanced. Spring resistance, range of motion, and exercise variations can be adjusted to meet you where you are. X˙CORE instructors offer modifications and progressions throughout class, making the workout approachable for beginners while continuing to challenge experienced clients.
