About Studio Core

caroline christensen


Caroline opened Studio Core in November, 2004 because she knew Aspen needed a chic, top quality, fully equipped, yet serene Pilates/GYROTONIC* studio that catered to those desiring a private, personal experience. Clients range in age from 17 to 74, 40% men, from ‘beginner’ to the elite athlete. Caroline specializes in clients with low back issues, women in pre and postnatal months, those with severe to moderate scoliosis, and clients with flexibility issues.

Caroline’s Pilates training encompasses both the Classic style and the more contemporary technique incorporating therapeutic aspects. Her extensive background in kinesiology, physiology, and anatomy enable her to customize each session for YOU.
