Core

Picture
Do you wonder why we start with the core rather than legs like most programs typically do? 
​Here’s why!
Your core muscles go far beyond your abs. Strengthen your whole core and you’ll firm and tone muscles in your back, sides, pelvis, abdomen, and butt that are critical for every move you make, from bending and reaching to twisting and standing.

What's the difference between “regular” and “gentle” core exercises?
Gentle core exercises are specially designed for people who aren't up to tackling regular core exercises, perhaps because they are out of shape, or possibly due to an injury or health problem.


We work with your body profile to achieve the best results for your body type, body shape, and fitness level. Contact us today to develop your personal fitness regimen and get on the road to your perfect hourglass figure. This is our specialty!
