I have so much love for Core I hardly know where to begin. I started going here about a year ago and am now fully addicted. First of all, the owners, Patrick and Crystal, are just about the nicest people ever, and they definitely know their stuff and have a passion for their business. The studio is built around private sessions – before you can sign up for classes you must go through 1 or 2 private sessions with one of the instructors. Some people might be uncomfortable with this, but it helps to ensure that when you’re in class you’re actually doing the moves correctly and that the instructor can tailor some of the moves to suit you. Their classes also rarely have more than 3 or 4 people, which means you get plenty of personal attention. They work on a points system, in which you buy a package of points and then sign up for classes of varying point amounts. It can get a bit pricey, and is probably a good bit more than your run-of-the-mill chain gym, but the personal service is well worth it. After just a few classes the instructors and other customers begin to feel like a family and the overall atmosphere is extremely positive. This is the first workout program I’ve ever managed to stay on for any length of time, and I don’t see myself quitting anytime soon! Edit: I forgot to add that they have a very convenient online system for purchasing points and signing up for classes.
