Susan Valente is the owner and an instructor of Barre and Pilates at Core Studio. Susan has been a certified Peak Pilates instructor since 2008. She began teaching classic Pilates moves to upbeat music, creating a motivating, dynamic class, with an added focus on strength. Hooked after her first barre class, Susan started her training.
I am a new member to the Core community and I absolutely enjoy every class that I have been to. The instructors are superb. They are knowledgeable, energetic, compassionate and truly want you to feel good about yourself. I am so happy to be a part of the Core studio and I feel amazing every time I finish a class!
True Barre is not a dance class. No flexibility or grace required! It is a dynamic 50 minute total body workout set to upbeat music, designed to lift, tone and sculpt. A dynamic class based on traditional Pilates moves, using props to target your core and flatten your abs for a stronger, more toned body and music to energize and motivate you to move.
We're so glad to have you! We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your first class. This will give you the time you'll need to fill out a quick form, ask any questions you may have, and for our Core staff to help you get set up at the barre. We'll run through the layout of class and introduce the necessary equipment options to get you ready and excited!

I absolutely LOVE Core. I feel comfortable, always welcomed, and no matter what, every time I workout at Core, my body feels it. The Barre class doesn’t hurt my back or neck and the instructors are always making sure that posture and adjustments are made when needed. I also am thankful for having time to speak with Sue or Donna after class for some help with positioning or just general questions. I am so very happy I found Core and the community it provides. It’s a positive environment for all! ✌🏼

What started as a win at our work wellness fair turned out to be exactly what I needed! The instructor is amazing and I absolutely love the sense of community among the women who take the classes at Core. They are helpful and uplifting and no one feels out of place because everyone embraces everyone who comes in the door. I highly recommend Core Barre, beginners to experts, young to old, the instructors tailor and modify for all types of experience.

I took class weekly with Susan for about two years until I moved. Her Pilates class was amazing! 10 weeks of 1 class/per week was $106--very affordable compared to Pure Barre in WeHa. I would highly recommend if you're experienced or brand new to barre. Susan is encouraging, will challenge you, and is positive during the toughest moves.
