MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
CARI
"I love group fitness because all you need to do is show up and you’ll get a great workout. No planning needed. And best of all, you get to be part of an amazing community!"
TERESA

JESSIE

HERE'S WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"Les Mills CORE is not just 'abs'! LesMills CORE targets obliques, hips, upper and lower back, shoulders and glutes --- everything that helps us stand tall and support our spine in everyday movements like sitting up straight at a desk, carrying awkward grocery bags and heavy car seats, or balancing in icy parking lots."
“I feel so much stronger after consistently going to CORE class! I've noticed a decrease in my lower back pain and an increase in my overall strength when performing everyday activities. The 30-minute format goes fast, and if I can't attend a class in person, I try to take advantage of the Les Mills Fitness On-Demand virtual option in studio A. Try CORE. You'll love it!”
"A strong core helps you be a better runner, weightlifter, swimmer, and all-around better athlete."
