Core Personal Training Studio

We Unilocalers love to eat, so please meet ze counterattack: Lani!
I’m known for brutal honesty in my Unilocal reviews, so you know I’m not playing around when I say that Lani at Core has literally changed my life. I’ve been training with her for almost two years now, because I keep getting new results and having fun. It’s not just me — I’ve brought friends of all ages, men and women to try her out, and they get hooked too.
I love working out, but I get bored with fitness trends very quickly. This personal training is the first time I’ve seen my body really change — I lost weight, toned up, and ironically spend less time working out than ever before. She doesn’t just want me to look good — she pays attention to what I eat, how I sleep, how I’m stressing, etc. Seeing is believing — I’m gonna let her use my before/​after pics on her website this year.
UGH with the personal trainers who are busy checking themselves out in the mirror, pushing you just to see if they can break you, and comparing your body to theirs. If you’re done with that, you found the right review. Disclaimer: you might accidentally become a happy morning person.
If you’re looking for a personal trainer in San Diego, you’d be crazy not to call her. Like, CRAZY.
She’s training a group of clients (any level of fitness) for the Rock n Roll Half Marathon 2014 this summer. If you join up, hope to meet & run with you!

I love this personal training studio!!! The trainer Lani was FANTASTIC with personalized instruction. She wasn’t barking orders at me and was constantly encouraging me. It’s an intimate setting so you dont have to worry about weirdos staring at you. The studio was super clean and smelled like lavender. :-) Having a meal plan to go along with the workout sessions is AWESOME and has really helped me to strive towards my fitness and weight loss goals.

It’s a great place. Small, relaxed and friendly. Erin and Randi are both sweet. Randi always brings me to the brink of death by exhaustion in the nicest possible way. Sort of like a Canadian sadist. I joke of course. But really…

When I got pregnant at the beginning of the year, I thought that my workout days were over. Last year I had trained for a half marathan and completed it and had started out the year training for several more, then I found out I was pregnant and I thought I couldnt work out anymore. After my first trimester was over, my Dr. permitted me to return to what he called a «light workout», which I didnt know what that was. After Googling place after place and not getting much response from them. I landed on Core personal Training. I went and the reception I got was greated with was so welcoming! I attended the Fit to be Mommy class, meet GREAT women that had all been or were going through what I was experienceing, including Erin.
She makes the workout fit everyone in the class, no matter if you are first trimester or third. If she sees you struggling, she encourages you to try an alternate way of doing the same exercise. No one feels left out or akward for being at different stages in the mommy life! With moms who are at all different stages in their pregnancy to moms that bring there babies with them, its a great experience. Erin had great insight on how to keep myself «mommy fit».
She helped me when my hips and lower back were hurtting to do stretches that aleviated the pain. Not only has she been a great trainer, but Erin invests in the lives of the ladies that come to her classes. Listening when you’ve had a bad day and encouraging you when you need it. I absolutly love working with Erin shes sweet, kind and full of energy! Her knowledge about training is amazing and I cant wait to get cleared by my dr. To get back into classes with Erin!

Having had some bad gym experiences, it always makes me happy to tell my friends about Core Personal Training Studio because every experience here has been great!
I’ve now participated in three different group exercise programmes at Core in addition to working out with Erin personally. Erin goes to great length when hiring an outside person to work at Core, screening them to make sure that they share her philosophy and easy going personality.
Yoga — I worked with Tanya for about 4 months in a weekly «yoga for weight loss» class. In a short period of time, Tanya took me from knowing very little about yoga to being at a level where I was able to take Power Yoga in addition to the calmer yoga offered at Core. Tanya helped me to feel confident about my abilities, become more flexible, lose weight and achieve things I never expected such as crow pose, plow pose and headstand.
Kickboxing — I checked out one of the newest classes at Core which is kickboxing with Tyrell. Originally I expected some sort of cardio dance kickboxing class like they offer at my local gym, so I was pleasantly surprised when I started a full contact kickboxing class. Tyrell was very patient and helpful with me as a «newb» and taught us all of the fundamentals, as basic as the right way to stand along with punches, jabs, kicks and blocks.
If you want a good workout experience without a drill instructor yelling at you then checkout Core. Erin meets with her clients and caters everything to their individual goals and budget.
She also offers special classes for new Moms and pregnant women to help them stay active!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with several personal trainiers over the years and Erin definitely ranks as one of best. She did a throrough job of evaluating my fitness level prior to beginning any workouts and then designed a program that specifically fits my goals. Her workouts are intense and keep you moving the whole time. She also does a great job of keeping you motivated so you can give each workout your all. I highly recommend Erin and Core Personal Training Studio to anyone who is looking to get in better shape!

I’ve learned that just because a place is convenient to my house (as Core is) doesn’t mean it’s the best place. But that’s not the case with Core. Erin is friendly and professional, and being that this is my first time working with a personal trainer (I take the intimate core class), I was happy at how supportive and encouraging she is.
The workout is a challenge, but I’m hooked already!

Get fit, get educated and have fun making new mommy friends.
I started Erin’s program «Fit to be Mommy» right about the time I started to show. It was important to me to stay in shape during my pregnancy and I knew that statistically speaking, women who exercise during pregnancy tend to have shorter, easier labors.
The classes ended up offering so much more than just a good work out. Being a new mom herself Erin is great at targeting specific areas we needed to strengthen in order to optimize our bodies for the transitions we were facing and to prepare us for the physically taxing job of being a new mom.
I also love that Erin brings in specialists throughout the classes to speak on different subjects relevant to us such as Doulas and a nutritional consultant for breast feeding. The best part about the class is the friends I have made. Everyone in the class is in a different phase of pregnancy/​parenthood and has different goals about their delivery or recovery. From the newly pregnant, to moms with babies, we are all on a journey to stay healthy, while learning and growing together.
Once you have your baby, you can jump back into the program as soon as you are ready. All the girls are excited to have you back and you can bring the baby with you to class which makes getting your body back stress free and fun. I highly recommend you join us at Core Personal Training Studio with Fit to be Mommy.

After 8 weeks of Erin’s bootcamp class I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and even better — she makes working out fun! It’s become the highlight of my week! I can’t wait for 8 more weeks of fun!

I discovered this place through a living social deal, and I’m so glad I did! I go to the morning bootcamp, and it amazes me how quickly the hour goes by, considering how hard we are working out. Katie is a great trainer and she always seems to have new routines for us so the work out never gets boring.

I am in the best shape of my life since working out at Core Personal Training! It keeps me motivated and helps me push myself to the limit. The morning classes are spectacular not only because it starts my day off right, but I have met some great people and have developed friendships that make the workout that much more fun. So many good people at Core!

I had weight training in high school and feel like I generally have an understanding of how to get a good workout. I work in the area and decided to give Core a chance. I was impressed how thorough of a workout I was able to get in an hour. It was also balanced overall so that I didn’t hurt anywhere, but felt great everywhere. I will be back !

I love this training studio! It’s in a great location, and has a really energizing feeling inside! There is a whole wall of chalkboard that Erin writes health tips, inspirational quotes, and exercises on! There is a separate room for stretch therapy, since Erin is an expert at healing pain and imbalances through stretching you out. Erin’s attitude is awesome — she’s very supportive and realistic about her health suggestions. I even attended a class here where Erin talked about easy, sweat-​free ways to stay fit in the workplace! Book an appointment, you’ll love it!!!

I recently suffered some sports injuries and found myself at a loss when trying to develop a work out program to stay in shape. Luckily, I found Erin and couldn’t be happier. She has been able to create a work out program adapted to my limitations without sacrificing the overall results. Due to her training I have been able to stay in shape and expect to heal faster! I definitely recommend working out with Erin and I personally will continue to work with her.

I worked out with Erin for about 2 – 3 months. When I came to her I hadnt worked out at all in about 6 years. She seriously gave me the jump start i needed to start working out again and be heathly. She got me in shape in no time at all.

I’ve been training with Erin for about 4 – 5 months now. She is an absolute pleasure to be around and great at her job. She really knows her stuff and alters each session to your needs. Erin is the most reliable and dependable trainer I’ve had. With my busy schedule it is very difficult for me to commit each week to the same day. She is so flexible it’s fantastic. You will see within the first few minutes she genuinely loves what she does. I recommend Erin to anyone looking to get into shape, stay in shape, lose weight, and have fun doing it.

My boyfriend and I have been training with Erin for about 3 months now and we absolutely love her! She is always on time and ready to go when we get there. We have done her boot camp classes, personal training and small group training and love it all. I would recommend Erin to anyone who is looking to get into shape and stay motivated.

I’ve been training with Erin 3 times a week for several months now. Erin is a joy to work with. She is reliable as the sun, always on time and has a very pleasant personality. Erin gets right down to business and makes sure that I get the most out of every workout session. She is knowledgeable and flexible about my needs and requirements. I have been very pleased that every work out is different so that I don’t get bored. She is always coming up with new ways to challenge and inspire me and as I have gotten stronger, she increases my challenges. I’ve been very happy with Erin as a trainer and would recommend her services highly.
