Love the workouts and the people! Steve and Zane are always switching up the workouts to keep things interesting and focus on different movements and strengths. I really noticed a difference this ski season. I had a lot more in the tank to ski hard without the legs or lungs giving out. Come join the Core family it is great

I have been going to the Core for over two years now and am amazed and thrilled at the transformation of my body. The positive energy and friendly atmosphere inspire me to go regularly, and the trainers make sure I’m doing what’s best for my body without getting injured. I’ve joined many gyms in my life, and this is by far the best I’ve ever experienced, physically and socially.

The Core

This is my second time attending the Core. I had tried it out 18 years ago. I’ve been going now for a year and a half. There’s definitely a difference between times.

I am absolutely loving the programming! They combine strength, cardio and mobility work. I love the variety of exercises so I never get bored. My body feels great and is improving all the time. I love how they’re focused on the overall person. They care about injury prevention and accommodating your individual needs. It’s truly been an enjoyable fitness experience.

They have multiple different workouts to choose from so you can find the right challenge for your body. The coaches are friendly and engaged.

I’m really enjoying the format of the workout. There is no official class start time. Your workout begins when you arrive. This has been critical to my success. I’ve always struggled with being there at the exact same time. In other gyms, I’d show up late and miss the warm up or the strength and get less of a workout. Here I get my full workout whenever I arrive.

I also enjoy the community of this gym. Everyone who works out here is very welcoming and friendly. There are definitely those who show up at consistent times. And if you show up at the same time as someone else you get to workout together.

The great thing about the natural staggering of people working out is you never seem to have to wait for equipment.

Bonus, if you’re a pickball player, sports athlete or have strength goals, they will program specific workouts to help you reach your goals.

I highly recommend this place. Give it a couple weeks and you’ll really see the difference.

Having just marked my fifth year at The Core, I'm overdue to tell the world about it. Before committing to The Core, I tried just about every gym in Chico- yep, probably yours. While I have great things to say about many of them, the feeling of family, support and overall physical strength and health just cannot be matched anywhere else in town. No one is too old, too young, too small, too (fill in the blank) to find a safe and friendly home at The Core. Come in and let us prove it to you! And tell Steve that Kelly has requested a music change for bonus points.

I reluctantly joined The Core on Jan 1, 2020. I was 46 and quite overweight. However, it was time to make changes to better my health. I was intimidated at first, having never worked out in such a setting. It did not take very long to put my anxiety at ease. Steve, the owner and head coach, and the staff genuinely care for the people who come there. He tailors each workout with the goal of getting the best out of you while at the same time wanting to protect you from injury. It is not a CrossFit atmosphere that is too intense for anyone not thoroughly ripped. Rather, it is a place where health, wellness, and strong functionality are prized. The comradery that exists with the other members in infectious, and motivates you to do your best while enjoying the process. I am grateful that after a year and a half I am in the best shape, probably, in my adult life. I could not recommended The Core more.

I have been going to The Core for several years. In the past I was always an active gym member but after switching to The Core my body truly began to change. The workouts are tailored to me so I am getting the best results.
I have recently begun taking my 10yr old. He is learning proper technique & form for weightlifting. He is gaining muscle in order to help him play better baseball. I am also grateful he is getting the foundation now. He absolutely loves going to The Core, as do I.

I have been going to The Core for 6 months and it has been the most amazing expierence. I am a two sport athlete at Butte College playing volleyball & softball. This has been my most successful season and I owe a lot of my triumphs to the staff at The Core. I always leave this gym feeling accomplished and with a smile on my face.

Great people and no better place to train in Chico! Steve has created a unique community atmosphere that's one of a kind. If you're looking for a place to train that's not a gym give the Core a shot!
