About
An hour for
the self.
Coeur began with a simple belief: that movement, done with intention, is one of the kindest things we can give ourselves. We've built studios to protect that hour.
Costa Mesa · the original studio
Our story
We make rooms that ask for your full attention, and give it back.
What started as one reformer studio in Costa Mesa has grown into a family of practices across Orange County. Along the way we created Fortè, a dedicated mat studio for those who want to feel the floor beneath them, and now the Cadillac, the county's first studio built around the trapeze table. Different equipment, the same conviction: precise, considered, unhurried movement.
No mirrors of judgment. No rush. Just good instruction, thoughtful music, and the kind of class that goes by far too fast.
The reformer.
A carriage, a set of springs, and infinite resistance. The reformer meets you where you are and builds long, balanced strength: controlled, low-impact, and endlessly adaptable. Our signature 50-minute class flows from one position to the next, set to music chosen with care.

The mat.
Pilates in its original form: bodyweight, breath, and the discipline of the floor. Fortè strips the practice back to its essentials, building deep core control and a grounded, elemental strength. Strong by name; strong by nature.

The Cadillac.
Orange County's first group Cadillac studio, on Quail Street in Newport Beach, and a different apparatus entirely. A raised, spring-strung frame with a trapeze that lets you suspend, decompress and find ranges the reformer and mat can't reach. Same Coeur instruction; a new way to move.
Discover the Cadillac →Recovery.
Movement, then stillness. Our Fountain Valley studio adds a cold plunge and infrared sauna, so the work you do on the reformer has somewhere to settle. Each lives in its own room and is booked separately, so you can build the reset into your visit.

to.
Three principles shape every class, on the reformer, the mat, or the Cadillac.
Precision
Small, exact movements done well. We teach form first; strength is what follows.
Breath
The thread through every class. Breath sets the pace, steadies the body, and clears the head.
Belonging
Every body, every level, welcomed. Eight studios, one community across Orange County.
A note from the studio
"We wanted a place that felt less like a gym and more like a ritual, somewhere you arrive a little tense and leave entirely yourself."
