Core Burn Pilates, a boutique studio, is planning to open a location in New Canaan this summer. The new Core Burn Pilates studio will be located on 142 Elm St., currently a vacant space. The previous occupant was a retail store, Lilly Pulitzer (now at 78 Elm). Founded in 2010 by Tamara Slupchynskyj—a co-owner of the New Canaan location—Core Burn Pilates has 12 studios across Connecticut including Greenwich, north Greenwich, Rowayton and Westport, according to the business’s website. The company also has studios in New York and North Carolina.

‘Core Burn Pilates’ Coming To Park Street

A pilates studio is planned for a commercial space in downtown New Canaan, according to an application that is to come before the Planning & Zoning Commission on Tuesday. Core Burn Pilates is to be located in the former L’Amoire space at 102 Park St., according to applications for approval of a sign out front of the prominent brick-exterior building and site plan to allow a change in use from retail to personal services. According to a narrative filed on behalf of property owner Caroline Realty LLC, nothing is changing with the building and the new tenant will have access to a large parking lot off of Cherry Street. 

The space had been occupied by L’Armoire for 34 years, according to the narrative from the LLC’s managing partner, Rob Mallozzi. “Last July I received a call from a neighboring businesses alerting me to moving vans outside of that location; the tenant moved out without a word leaving a year left on the lease,” Mallozzi said in the letter. L’Armoire’s owner was Diane Roth.
