The core is one of the friendliest gyms I’ve been into. It’s a great community and the coaches are very helpful. It’s like a second family!

I worked out here for years before I moved out of town. Everyone is friendly and it really is a community that builds you up and makes you better.

You walk in and it feels different from all the other gyms. Friendly faces from members and a warm welcome from one of the many trainers there to help out. No matter your current fitness level or future fitness goals, they can get you what you need to make it happen.

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.

If you’re looking to improve your physical fitness, and aren’t sure where to start; the Core is just the perfect spot for that; along with those who have been lifting weights for years. Steve makes this place feel more like a home rather than a gym. You’ll see quite quickly that you feel like you’re apart or a big new family ?♥️

This is the best gym in Chico. I've been going here for 8 years now and I've been able to consistently keep in good shape. The workouts aren't boring and the variety of equipment available makes for new challenges daily. You have to be willing to put in the work at this gym though. You shouldn't come here and hope to have your hand held and someone tell you everything you want to hear. This is a gym that will give you back what you decide to put in. The owner (Steve) did a great job all last year of putting in his time and money to make the gym safe during COVID-19. He purchased ventilation and sanitizing equipment to keep everyone feeling safe. It was nice to not have to miss any time working out during the pandemic.

Love these guys! They have been a big help in motivating me. They make specialized and balanced workout regimens and if you are injured or need some kind of modification, they will personalize it. Steve is amazing and he watches and does the workouts with you even. This is not a gym for the typical gym rat. There are families that go here, older people, younger people, The Core caters to all body and lifestyle types. It is very comfortable, which I struggle with at gyms usually. The daily workouts here all cater to a different region of muscles, and all add up to a perfectly balanced body workout by the end of the week. I have met many friends here. These guys have helped me reach may goals. Thank you, Steve and Zayne!

Make sure to keep an eye on your credit card charges. I cancelled my membership months ago and am still getting charged each month. I've reached out to the owner but never get a response. I had to call my bank to block them so I wouldn't get another charge.
