Personal Training

What do you Need in a Personal Trainer?

Who Will Motivate You?

We can give you all that and so much more
The functional integrative model is what sets us apart from other gyms and wellness centers of our kind. Applied to personal training, functional integration means breaking the cycle. Old injuries, accidents, desk jobs, commutes, and busy schedules cause us to feel deactivated and disconnected from our bodies. We want to move and get back to optimal health, but our bodies and minds resist. Pain, fatigue, and physical restrictions discourage us, and understandably so. Santa Cruz CORE breaks the cycle to get you results. We help you change your life.

Santa Cruz CORE Fitness and Rehab have some of the most talented, experienced, and knowledgeable personal trainers in the whole Bay Area!

CREATE YOUR PERFECT WORKOUT ROUTINE TODAY!

The Functional Movement Screening

The first step is to schedule an initial health consultation with one of the highly skilled professionals at CORE, who will get a full health history and administer a Functional Movement Screening (FMS). An FMS is a valuable test instrument, and we interpret the results and translate that information into a recommended course of action. This process provides an injury-free path to a healthy and balanced fitness plan.

Our individualized programs are molded from the experience and knowledge of all of our practitioners, a knowledge base that produces timely and healthy results.

A potential client is having their initial personal training assessment to find out their current abilities and health goals.

Initial Assessment

We provide consultations free of charge with the primary goal of determining the needs of the individual, this is our time to listen to you. Once we determine your functional state we design a program specific to the individual. Your trainer is your partner, your guide, mentor and support system on your journey to optimal health and fitness.

An Elite Assessment includes range of motion, muscle length testing and postural analysis.

Health Enhancement Assessment

An Elite Assessment includes range of motion, muscle length testing and postural analysis. It is a step up from the Functional Movement Assessment, because it dives deeper into the issues of each joint in the body not just movement patterns.

Some exercises and soft tissue work may be done as well.

  • Corrective Exercises

    In addition to personal training, Santa Cruz CORE trainers are experts in Corrective Exercise, also known as therapeutic exercise, to help alleviate and fix the symptoms of sports-related or other types of injuries. Our goal is to help you overcome and stay injury free. The first step to wellness is addressing current problems. Services include injury assessment. Click here to learn more about Corrective Exercises.

    Weight Loss

    In today’s society, many struggle to attain and maintain their ideal body weights. While our goal is to make sure that you stay healthy during your specialized fitness plan, we also offer weight loss and nutritional counseling so that you lose the weight right for you in a healthy, efficient, and long-lasting way, while also maintaining muscle mass.
