If you’re a beginner and just starting out then 2-4 times per week will be enough to see results and allow you to adjust.

You’ll be sore some days, so allow yourself recovery days between training sessions at first – over the course of the following months work up towards 5 days per week if you want to maximize!

We offer an exciting, challenging and varied programming which will keep it fun! The workouts are published in advance

Some days are more strength focused where will focus on our lifts. Movements like barbell squats, kettlebell swings and occasionally some olympics lifts will be included.

Other days, we may focus more on cardio & conditioning with rowers and bikes. Some days are focused on body weight movements like pushups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. Some days are a mix of everything!

Each class is led by qualified coaches. We always start together with a warm-up designed to activate the muscles being used in the workout.

The coach will brief on the group on the workout, the movements, and the proper form. During the workout, the coach will be guiding and providing instruction.

Personal Trainer

My name is Ryan Nusbaum, and I’m the owner of Core Concepts Personal Training.

I’ve dedicated over 15 years of my life to helping my clients pursue their health and fitness goals.

I know getting fit can be hard, and choosing the right coach or training methodology can be overwhelming. I’ve helped hundreds of clients of all ages, experience levels, and lifestyles find their way to the more healthy, and fit version of themselves that they’ve been struggling to achieve.

I’m passionate about not only helping my clients toward their physical goals but I also strive to work as a team to achieve a level of mental awareness that makes you confident your journey is in the hands of the right coach.

As my client, you will fully understand the ins, and outs of your training program. Where to start? How, and what to eat. What type of weight or cardio training should I be doing? How many days a week should I train? etc.

My philosophy for training is simple and straightforward; move well, move often, keep your training varied and exciting, rest, recover, and nourish your body well. An active, and fit lifestyle can be challenging, and there will be moments of doubt or disappointment but together I know we can conquer every goal you throw at us! I look forward to working with you.
