It’s Time to Get Outside (Places to Hike)

Well, its Spring! And you know what that means. Its time to get outside, soak in the fresh air, and use the nice weather for some off day workouts. As a gym, we understand that putting in the work and doing the same redundant exercise routines can be tough. I think the toughest part […]

How One Dad Tried To Make Time For Himself And Ended Up Spending More Time With His Family

I have no idea what it is like being a dad but I am sure it is not easy. Having twin daughters definitely does not make things any easier. Constantly having to drive the kids around, take them to different activities, feed them and everything else that goes into being a dad can be a […]

How The Gym Change One Grandfathers Life Forever

Do Less And Achieve More

Chances are you are not hitting the gym 5-7 times a week and that is perfectly fine. You do not need to in order to reach your goals. If you are working out 2-3 times a week and dialing in your nutrition and sleep most likely you are in a good place. What do […]

Should You Exercise While Sick?

Spring is almost here which means warm weather, outdoor activities, sunshine and so many other things to be happy about.

The small group classes are fun and the trainers very supportive and knowledgeable. They definitely get me to do the exercises I usually don’t like to do!

Update #2: I just passed 75 sessions (!!) and am still loving this place. My body is stronger and healthier than it's been in years. I feel so lucky to have this fitness program nearby. Haylin, Emily and Colleen make the space inviting and fun. One of the gym's taglines is "adding more life to your years." When I first met Haylin and Colleen, I remember one of them saying that we have to grow old, but we don't have to grow frail. Both those ideas really speak to the culture of this place. From the very first appointment, the staff has been kind, encouraging, non-judgmental, and non-pressuring in their approach: they want to know what my needs and limitations are, and they do a great job of working within them. The owner, Haylin, and his training staff (I've worked with Emily and Colleen) are encouraging, knowledgeable, and help create a culture that is fun and inviting. I really look forward to seeing the people at each session: there is always laughter, and people ask after one another. I'm up to 3x per week, and I definitely have more energy, optimism, and a greater desire to take better care of my body because of the sessions. I hope to be a very long-time member and to see my body grow in strength, flexibility and balance. Thank you!

Excellent program for older adults. Instructors will take time to understand your body and tailor program to your needs and limits. Program varies daily to address different areas of the body. It includes strength, balance and endurance. Classes are conducted in small groups of up to 6 people. Gym is modern and well equipped.

If you’re looking for a great gym with outstanding trainers this is the place. The exercises provide a good well rounded workout, the trainers are knowledgeable and the environment is great if you’re interested in increasing your strength, flexibility and overall fitness. If you’re looking for a gym where everyone is competing to lift the largest weights and have the biggest muscles, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for a friendly environment where you can focus on your personal fitness, this is the perfect place.

I was not a fitness person but needed it! A friend recommended Core Principles and it’s been a great experience. They are fun, positive and challenge me but take my limits into consideration as well. Give them a try!!! I can see improvement after only 2 months.

This is the gym and trainer experience I have been seeking for decades. Every other trainer I saw in the past relied on a one-size-fits-all approach that resembled bootcamp tactics that wore me down quickly both mentally and physically. I'm not a traditionally athletic person, but I want to stay healthy and in shape. Other gyms push you to be an athlete with the stamina of a 20-year-old, but the team at Core Principles meets you where you are, just as you are, every single time. Workouts are just challenging enough but not impossible, and I can feel myself getting gradually stronger after just two months. I can't wait to see where I'll be six months from now.

James Bitzonis

The staff is excellent. You get a great workout and will definitely sweat. I am much stronger since I started and feel better without question. Highly recommend.

It is a truth insufficiently acknowledged that the contemporary fitness-industrial complex, in its unrelenting valorization of the hypertrophic and the twenty-three-year-old, has effectively abandoned those of us who have rounded the half-century mark and found ourselves regarding the squat rack with something between wariness and outright existential dread. Into this lacuna steps Core Principles Training of Stamford, an establishment that has accomplished the not-inconsiderable feat of rendering the pursuit of strength, endurance, proprioceptive competence, and that most fugitive of quantities, confidence, into an experience one anticipates rather than merely endures. The pedagogy here is meliorative rather than punitive; one is not exhorted so much as accompanied. Chief among the accompanists is Emily, a trainer whose gift for tonal calibration borders on the uncanny. She contrives, session after session, to be simultaneously rigorous and disarming, insisting on the work while somehow divesting it of its customary grimness, so that one arrives braced for penance and departs having been, improbably, entertained. That she does this while attending to a roomful of disparate bodies and their attendant idiosyncrasies suggests a species of situational intelligence rarely encountered outside the better sort of conductor. Administrative matters, that perennial solvent of goodwill, are dispatched with unfussy competence by Colleen, the office manager, whose accommodations are rendered so frictionlessly that one scarcely registers having required them; the highest compliment available to the genre. A final word on what is blessedly absent. Those arriving, as I did, from the conventional commercial gymnasium will recognize the ambient afflictions of that milieu: the vasculature-obsessed bro conducting his soliloquy in the mirror; the relentlessly effervescent overachiever; the percussive, cortisol-elevating music selected apparently by adversarial algorithm. Core Principles is the antithesis of all of it. What obtains instead is a kind of unpretentious collective seriousness, warm without being cloying, which turns out to be precisely the condition under which people over fifty actually get stronger. Unreservedly recommended.
