Last December I contacted Heidi Dehnel one of the owners at Core Strength & Performance. I…read moreexpressed interest in starting my fitness journey and powerlifting and from that ONE conversation I made a decision that changed my life. She invited me to the annual Christmas lift off at the gym and I got to see the amazing atmosphere and hear other members tell me their personal experiences. I was sold! I took a free class the next week with the other owner, Deven Dehnel. Here I am a year later successfully completing in my first powerlifting competition. I've learned lots of new skills and made connections with some of the kindest folks. Coach Heidi, Deven, Natalie and Nick thank you for everything! Whether you're looking to compete, a new hobby or enhancing/ starting your fitness journey these guys are EXPERTS in their field. Don't walk, RUN to Core Strength & Performance you won't regret it!

Workouts with Hedi are always such a blast -- she brings such great energy. Nick is absolutely the best, I always look forward to his sessions, and Natalie makes every workout such a good time. What I love most is that the coaches have created such a fun, supportive space. Even though the workouts follow a structure, each session feels fresh and exciting because of the coaches' unique styles. Switching it up keeps me on my toes and makes me even more motivated to come back. They're all incredibly smart and make fitness something I truly look forward to.

Traveller friendly with super affordable $13 day passes and equally affordable trainers and a great, positive energy place and people, clientele included. 24/7 means you can go before or after conferences and meetings. Great way to get feeling better again after spending all day in planes and airports especially for those of us who live in daily pain and need the workouts as mitigation. 10/10 going on my itinerary on my next trip. Buying a day pass was easy enough online from my room. Part of it is loading a mobile key-card app for off hours entry should you need it. When I walked in I was greeted by the owner (who is as big as a truck) with a giant smile, and when I asked if any trainers were available he quickly found Jordan for me. Jordan's rate was extremely affordable - so much so that I countered him with a higher rate. Part of the reason I wanted a trainer is because, frankly, I've seen the trainers at my home station and didn't find them compelling enough to spend the (much more) money on. Jordan, on the other hand, is exactly what I hoped for from a dedicated lifting gym with contracted trainers. Tots positive energy, super engaged with me from start to finish, taught me a TON, from proper warmups (which I have NOT been doing at home) to improving technique. He spent a lot of time with me helping me dial in my squat form, and even introduced me to floor wedges which I don't have at home. He pushed me to failure many times, always motivating, always keeping me safe and in form, and I got the most excellent wobbly legs from the workout :0 For those who are intimidated by real weightlifting gyms - don't be ! Yes, some of the people are as big as pickup trucks but usually they're the nicest folks ! No, no one is judging you - everyone is there working towards a self-improvement goal and giving positive vibes to help others meet their goals. I've never once felt ashamed or judged in a real gym, despite not being strong, not being big and frankly always carrying plenty of "insulation" around my belly. A real weight lifting gym can be very different than a fitness center, and if you really want to make strength progress I can't recommend them enough. Lifting heavy (which is relative to you - that could mean 5 lbs or it could mean 100 lbs) has profoundly positive effects on the body from strengthening bones to releasing beneficial hormones and discovering power lifting and moving off of the 300 different nautilus machines was a positive life changing move for me.

I am taking time to write this review for a phenomenal trainer who is also a genuine, incredible human being that this world needs more of and her name is Samra. I walked into the gym after recovering from some physical trauma and I couldn't quite get there. After a few months of feeling defeated and discouraged - ready to quit. Sabrina said "before you give up, let me put you with a great trainer - you'll love her". Hesitantly, I agreed. I started having sessions with Samra and WOW! She immediately picked up on my strengths and my weaknesses before I said a word. Her intuition and keen attention to detail when working with me is remarkable. A 30 minute session with her produces results that I couldn't obtain in two hours on my own. I always tell her it "hurts so good!" She challenges me beyond what I feel capable of, yet not to the point where I feel deflated - I always leave smiling and feeling like jelly- it is the best feeling! She is my biggest cheerleader while I am straining to get those last 3 reps out - something I didn't even know I needed. I thank her every session and tell her I appreciate her, but she will never truly know how much she has/continues to do for me. At 54 years old, I am gaining confidence I didn't have at 20. I feel strong, fierce and bold to carry my own in the gym and in my everyday life. She deserves all the accolades and then some. Thank you, Samra.
