THE APP: The FlowCorps app makes it easy to book your classes, manage your schedule and update your account all in one place! THE STUDIO: FlowCorps is the Triangle’s premier High-Intensity Pilates and Low-Impact Cardio fitness experience. We strive to create an open, inclusive community that celebrates EVERY BODY, while guiding each client to better strength and a more empowered existence. No one at FlowCorps will suggest how you should look. Rather, we will help you move optimally, build functional strength, and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. At FlowCorps we teach functional strength training on Pilates machines. We train to neutral spine, neutral pelvis, a hip-hinge and the general principle that proximal (think core muscles - all of them) stability leads to safe distal mobility. Put simply - a strong core is the foundation from which safe and powerful movement is coordinated. Our programming changes lives. Let us make a believer of you!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlowCorps Studios at none against The Long View's 5. FlowCorps Studios also leads on ratings volume (525 vs 1). The Long View's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
