Being dragged and I mean dragged by a friend was my first introduction to Core. Extreme MMA being my first class, it can't get any more scary than that or can it? Almost 3 years later I'm still going I love the fact that you get challenged but also have options and that no matter what age you are (and I'm old) you can still achieve a great level of fitness while having fun, lots of laughs and making friends.

I saw that a new gym had opened and thought I’d try it out. I signed up after my first trial class as I could tell there was something different about it. I love the variety of classes and the fact that the format of these classes are different every time so they don’t get boring. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community of lovely people all supporting each other. There are no egos or judgement, just encouragement to do your best and make a difference to your life. I have been to a wide variety of gyms for over 30 years but this is by far my favourite. I have been loving it for over three years now.

After joining various gyms & attending boot camp sessions for a few months I was totally bored of the repetition of going & doing the same exercises over & over! The gym I hated as nobody speaks & I need somebody to tell me what to do or I lose motivation. I have exercised with my bestie Nikki for 30 yrs so we were looking for something new & to keep us motivated! Joining core has been fantastic! We’ve been members for over two years now & we love the variety of classes. To see familiar smiley faces means a lot to me! I felt very welcomed from the start & I love the encouragement & support in the group & that there is no judgement. It really is a fun environment & has a lovely family feel & now a big part of my life! Coming from overseas it’s the little things that make me feel settled & Heart Body Soul Fitness is one of them xx

Heart Body Soul Fitness to me = challenges (necessary to keep me on my toes), creative classes (love MMA/Work It/Define etc), a very necessary Boxing class maintained on the timetable and a continuous variety of class times available - as a single parent it really has kept me sane, and given me a much needed break and outlet, whilst also helping me to feel healthier and stronger

Mum told me about Core. She had been walking her dog past your grand opening and thought I would be interested. I think she was worried about me, knew my health struggles and wanted to help. She and I joined together a few days later.
I had been to a couple of gyms on and off but never really loved anything. I played regular sport when I was younger but that was a long time ago. With gyms I usually went with a friend to try and help with the motivation. I need people around me and someone yelling helps! I’m not an ‘exercise at home’ personAnd the bonus of the crèche was amazing, having young children.
I was attending 3x/week on average which I thought was enough at the time. I probably wasn’t taking advantage of all of the variety and challenging classes available. I also hadn’t altered my diet enough to make a difference.
It wasn’t until I signed up for the BodyMind Revolution that everything changed. Without being too dramatic, it changed my life. It changed my future and how that impacts me and my family forevermore is priceless. I’m getting teary thinking about it. I can’t thank Linda and the Core staff enough. There are no other gyms that support you like this, all of you. Staff actually care about your wellbeing. Core offers so much fitness variety to challenge your body. The information available to challenge your mind is incredible. It’s up to you what you do with it. I know no other gyms are as holistic because I have spoken to friends about it. There is no input from members. Certainly not on classes available or time slots! If there is some form of fitness challenge it is a one-size-fits-all meal plan and advice to work out more. Cookie cutter.
Core has a real community and family feel. It’s the vibe of the thing! There’s a large social aspect to Core also which I love. Who doesn’t want to chat, laugh, sing and dance whilst working out? I also love the ‘extras’ we have like the fermented foods, treats and body products, community food cart and veggie garden.
A new gym opened recently and staff were in the shopping centre, trying to get passers by to enter a competition to win free membership. I avoided it because I love my gym family and I will never change, even if it was free.
