Our Story
At Core Love Co., we believe a strong core starts with a little love — for your body, your breath, and the community moving alongside you.
We're a boutique Pilates studio tucked into the heart of historic downtown Katy, on East Avenue — and we chose original Katy on purpose. There's something special about practicing where the town began.
Founder Tahnee Hiett built Core Love around a simple vision: a welcoming, community-centered space where clients feel seen, supported, and challenged at their own level. Small group settings mean personalized attention, and her approach blends movement, breath, and concentration to help clients build lasting strength and move through life with confidence.
Our instructors lead with heart. They'll know your name, cheer your wins, and gently push you toward the strongest version of yourself.
Meet Tahnee Hiett
Founder of Core Love Co. & Lead Instructor
As the founder of Core Love Co. Pilates, Tahnee brings more than 15 years of experience, passion, and dedication to every class she teaches. Her Pilates journey began at a Stott Pilates–licensed training center in Houston, where she completed her initial certification. Since then, she has continued to expand her expertise through advanced education, hands-on practice, mentorship under a Chiropractor, and years of helping clients transform the way they move and feel. She is also a Certified Health Coach bringing a whole-person approach to movement, wellness, and creating sustainable habits that support how clients feel both inside and outside the studio.
Tahnee’s passion for Pilates became even more personal after welcoming three children via C-section. Through her own experience of healing, rebuilding strength, and reconnecting with her body, she discovered the incredible power of intentional movement. That journey shaped the way she teaches today — allowing her to support pre- and postnatal clients with a rare combination of professional expertise and genuine understanding.
Throughout her career, Tahnee has taught hundreds of classes across multiple studios and has had the opportunity to learn alongside some of the industry’s most respected professionals. She also spent four years as a Lead Pilates Rehab Specialist in a chiropractic setting, where she specialized in spinal rehabilitation, postural alignment, and helping clients move beyond limitations.
We keep our classes small and intentional, working across Reformer, mat, chair, springboards, and rollers — so every client gets personalized attention in a supportive environment. Whether you're brand new to Pilates or already obsessed, there's a spot for you.
Every class.
Every level.
Every body.
