Our Philosophy

Open

Unlike other Chico gyms or health clubs, The Core has no restrictions on when, how long, or how often you work out. If we’re open, you’re always welcome.

Fun

Get fit and have fun doing it. At The Core you’ll reach your goals alongside a tight community of friendly people who care more about being fit than looking fit.

Personal

The Core provides a fast-paced workout that strengthens your body, clears your mind, and engages your spirit. You’ll also get individual coaching and supervision.
