Protecting your Health and Well-being
Here at Santa Cruz CORE we pride ourselves not only in helping our clients achieve their goals, but helping our clients achieve their goals efficiently and safely. Everyone has different goals and everyone has different bodies. Not all plans work for the same people and, unlike other gyms, we do not like to throw people into a standard workout regime that worked for other people but might not be right or even flat out dangerous for you to perform. Therefore, we use the S.F.M.A. or “Selected Functional Movement Assessment,” to assess each client's unique movement patterns, asymmetries, and stability/motor control reflexes to determine what plan is right for him or her.
Santa Cruz CORE is a great place to fix pain, but we are also strong believers in preventing pain. Therefore, before enrolling in any SPT classes, clients must undergo a Functional Movement Screen to make sure they are on the correct path for his/her goals. Book your complimentary consultation and schedule a Functional Movement Screen, here, and start your first steps in achieving your wellness goals!
Semi-Private Training
Semi-Private Training is a unique opportunity to experience personal training customized to your needs, in a small group setting. These classes differ from large, impersonal, group classes you may find at other gyms because we have found that a trainer can care and attend to each individual’s needs much more effectively at a maximum of 5 people per session. Each session usually follows a theme, such as “Cardio, Legs, Arms and Shoulders, Etc,” and with over 30 appointments a week to choose from, you can customize your personal fitness plan based on what interests you and what is best for your schedule!

Our philosophy is that everyone deserves to achieve a healthy balance and be pain-free.
Semi-Private Training Recovery
These sessions involve Yoga for Strength and Alignment. In each session the trainer integrates stretches, yoga postures, breath, and relaxation techniques to realign the body and strengthen both large and stabilizing muscle groups. Isometric exercises are a focus, as well as taming and controlling the mind. A great counter-training class for those who typically practice more explosive, cardio-based exercises. Don’t let the word Yoga fool you, this training session is intense. Good for the first timer or seasoned strength training veteran. Variations and adjustments are made for individuals needing modifications specific to his/her body.
Semi-Private Training CORE
This small group exercise program has between 2-5 clients. All sessions incorporate strength, cardio, stability, toning, cardio conditioning, and flexibility into an undulating periodization model. This will build lean muscle, burn calories and fat, change your body shape and take your health and fitness to the next level. The CORE level of Semi-Private Training is for individuals for no real orthopedic limitations and/or have successfully passed our Function Movement Screen (FMS).
Semi-Private Training CORE
These training sessions are slower paced than the SPT CORE. This training session focuses on active, dynamic and passive stretching, myofascial release, and corrective exercise progressions to perfect the functional movement patterns. This will prevent injury, increase athletic performance, efficiency, and ensure longevity through sustainable movement patterns.

Semi Private Training Booking Policies
While Santa Cruz CORE wants to offer as many SPT classes and options as possible to work with our clients' flexible schedules, we do ask that you respect our practitioners time when signing up for your SPT classes. Please Note: A class that has 0 enrolled participants 24 hours prior to the class start time will NOT be held. You must sign up for a class in order to ensure that it will be held. Showing up to a class that had no participants pre-enrolled will result in NO SPT Class.
We offer a maximum of 5 clients per class to ensure that each client will be able to get the optimum amount of individual attention he/she deserves throughout the workout. If a class that you are interested in enrolling in is full, you may sign up for the “waitlist.” If another client chooses to cancel their appointment, the first person on the waitlist will be notified of the opening (and so on and so forth). Santa Cruz CORE is committed to providing all of our clients with exceptional care. When a client cancels without giving enough notice, they prevent another client from being see. Please give at least 24 hours notice when cancelling an appointment
