EVERYTHING AT CORE 5 will EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS! It is hard to know where to begin. The trainers are experienced, knowledgeable and fun with great attitudes and smiles for everyone! They believed in me when I found it hard to believe in myself. I am 65 years old and overweight. I was full of anxiety at my first class but everyone put me at ease, especially Drew Preiss, my personal trainer. I am inspired by each and every one at Core 5. I made it through that first Ultimate class and 7 months later I go to 6 classes a week. My favorite class is the Tuesday 360 Core class at 4pm with Drew. What a Great workout!!! Drew puts a twist in this workout that motivates everyone and he does it with his contagious smile. THE TRAINERS AND STAFF: Core 5 has, by far, the Best Trainers in the Tampa area. They are certified in their field, love what they do and it shows. When they are not teaching a class they are working on new training techniques. Drew, Nora, Jess and Chelsea are the trainers I work with the most. God Bless them All! They are TERRIFIC! Keith, Tareq and Sousan are always there to greet you, take care of any questions you might have, and are ready to pump you up before class. There are many more trainers and staff at Core 5 to help and work with you. THE CLASSES are Challenging, Exhausting and Fun. You never know what innovative and challenging exercises will be incorporated into the Ultimate Core and 360 Core classes (my favorites). And there are always exercise modifications if you need them. In addition they offer Pilates, Yoga, Spin, Zumba and more! Core 5 offers the WHOLE PACKAGE including Personal Training and FREE Child care. The classes give you a workout that you could NEVER do on your own and you can immediately see the calories you?ve burned on big TV screens. There is so much attention given to you during each class, it feels like a personal training session. THE PEOPLE who come to Core 5 are friendly, from all walks of life and all sizes. We are all there for one purpose, to improve our health and fitness. Making new friends is an added benefit. We encourage each other to work hard and cheer for each other accomplishments (like me finally being able to do a burpee) THE STUDIO!!! The Core 5 Studio has the most current and cutting edge equipment that is offered in the fitness field. The facility is spotlessly clean and always ready for training. Separate rooms are used for Yoga, Pilates and Spin so multiple classes can be held at the same time. I encourage anyone reading this review to take the free CORE 5, 14 day challenge and see for yourself. I did and now at 65 years young, living the #5Life. I guarantee there is no other fitness studio or gym that can compare. Wendy Adkins
