Expect to be confused for your First Class
I'm new to Heartcore. Do you offer a Beginner's class?
How often should I take a class?
If Heartcore is your main source of fitness, we recommend taking class 3-4 times a week with our Heartbreaker Membership. Your mind-muscle connection will be constantly fired up and you’ll be amazed at how fast you’ll see results. You’ll burn fat, increase flexibility and balance, jump-start your metabolism, strengthen your entire body and ultimately, be in the best shape of your life.
When you start taking classes more than 5 times a week, you may not be getting enough rest and recovery. We’re working your muscles to the point of fatigue, so your body will need rest and TLC. Relax and let your body do its thing (rebuild into a stronger and leaner you). A good indicator of working out too much is feeling super tired, getting injured, and/or getting sick more often. Working out without enough rest causes damage and inflammation at every level in your body: from your cells to your organ systems. Take your rest as seriously as your training!

What do I wear and what do I bring to class?
Come prepared with a water bottle, a towel (esp. if you know you sweat), and wear form-fitting workout clothes.
Grip socks are required to wear during the workout, they’re sold at the studio. There are also various types of grip socks sold on Amazon here.
Please don’t wear strong perfume or cologne. Please wear deodorant (we have some in our bathroom) and do your laundry!
Is this Pilates?
The class I want to sign up for is full. What should I do?
We also recommend signing up a few days in advance or adding yourself to the waitlist. Heartbreakers make schedule changes and cancel out of classes all the time. It’s very likely you will get into a class by adding your name to the waitlist online. Also check the day-of class for last minute openings.
Where do I park?
12 Hour Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your online reservation less than 12 hours before class starts, there’s a Late Cancel Fee of $15. You’ll receive the class you used to sign up back in your account, but you’ll be charged $15.
- If you reserve a class online, and can no longer take the class, please cancel your reservation 12 hours or more before the class starts.
- Example: You’re signed up for a 6am class on Tuesday. You have up until 6pm on Monday night to cancel the reservation for free.
- Want to switch class times? The cancellation policy also applies if you switch classes within the 12 hour period.
- Example: You’re signed up for the 6:30pm class, but you see a spot open up in the 5:30pm class. To book the 5:30pm class, you will late cancel the 6:30pm class. We’re happy you’re able to find another class time that works for you, but if you’ve held a spot in any class longer than 12 hours, you will be charged the late cancel fee.
How do I purchase classes?
We recommend reserving your spot online, as there are only 10 to 12 spots available for each class depending on the studio location. Walk-ins are subject to availability. If you walk-in to your first class without creating an online account, the instructor will need you to create an online account before class starts (which may take up to 5 minutes).
What is the Waitlist?
When the 12 hour cancellation period begins, you will no longer be added into class off the waitlist. Once it’s 12 hours before the class’ start time, check the online class schedule to see if a spot opens in the class you want to take.
- Remember to subscribe to receive emails and/or texts from our studio. Without subscribing, you will not receive any notifications you got into the class off the waitlist. If you are not subscribed to emails or texts, login to your account and you can view your position on the waitlist, or if you were added into class.
- All classes have a 12 hour cancellation policy. If you’re added to a class from the waitlist at the last minute (or more than 12 hours before the start of class), be aware the 12 hour cancellation still applies. If you no longer want a spot in the class, you will need to remove yourself from the waitlist at least 12 hours in advance of the class. If you are added to the class and fail to remove yourself in time, you will be charged the late cancel fee.

How many calories will I burn?
Other than calories burned, the true benefits of strength workouts like ours come from increasing lean muscle mass. When you add muscle and get stronger, your heart works better, your immune system works better, your metabolism increases dramatically and you burn fat more effectively.
Should I eat before or after class?
After your workout, we suggest you eat some protein within 45 minutes. Eating protein post-workout helps aid muscle recovery. Enjoy a protein smoothie (we love Bulletproof’s Upgraded Whey Protein with unsweetened almond milk, spinach and MCT Oil) or maybe some full-fat greek yogurt and berries.
Can I take class if I'm pregnant?
If you’re pregnant & a Heartcore regular, and have been taken Megaformer classes before becoming pregnant, you may continue to come as long as you feel comfortable. Everyone’s pregnancy is different, so please consult with your doctor first to ensure they are comfortable with you continuing to take class. If at any point during your workout you feel faint, dizzy, or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately, and consult your doctor before returning.
How old do you have to be to take class?
Can I bring my children to the studio while I take class?
Do you have lockers or showers? Or left something at the studio?
Unfortunately due to space constraints, we don’t have showers in our studio. We do have spray deodorant in the bathroom!
