Crossfit Fundamental 2- Death by Push Presses- Seriously

After the success of ‘Bring a Friend Free’ month in February we have decided to bring it back this Spring for the entire month of May!

So, we hereby declare that May is 'Bring A Friend FREE' month at Core Essentials for our Zumba and RealRyder classes.

This month’s ‘Bring a friend Free’ works the same as last time: You can bring the same friend once this month, but if you happen to be here 3-4 times per week, you can bring a different friend each time you come - how fun!

Wow, what a great Saturday morning kettlebell drop-in! I decided to take Craig's drop in class as I was in between clients.

We had an awesome turnout for the first session! Guys and girls were sweating and working super hard- it was an 800 calorie class this morning (with all the quads we did, it might have inched us closer to 1,000!)

Quite a few new faces in the class, new to kettlebell that is, but of course some of our die-hard clients were there too.

Easter Weekend Hours
Just a quick reminder that we will be closed the following days for Easter:
- Good Friday,  April 2, 2010
- Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010
- Easter Monday, April 5, 2010

We will still have our 10am RealRyder ride this Saturday morning - sign up online to hold your spot! The perfect way to get ready for chocolates and mini cream eggs!

What a success the inaugural Meltdown event was last night, March 26, 2010 at Core.

We had a fantastic turnout, we sold out! The feedback has been phenomenal and it great way to welcome Craig Guthrie to Core Essentials.

It was also great to see that over half of the people involved had never touched a kettlebell or ridden the RealRyders.

Well there are only five more days to the  first ever Meltdown at Core Essentials on Friday March 26. The response has been phenomenal. We are super psyched for the evening.

We have DJ Scott Rideout from True North DJ Services, he'll be spinning and mixing tunes all night long!

We've got some great prizes up for grabs. The grand prize being one free registration to our weekend Fitness & Wellness Fall Retreat. This includes accommodation, meals and of course fabulous workouts and nutrition.

Today is a very exciting time at Core Essentials.

We've been planning on expanding our existing fitness space into the ground floor since January and today the demolition of the space started.

As you can see the space is quite a mess at the moment, but when construction is finished we'll have new showers, two new toilets and about 1,000 square feet of new workout space.

We have been having a blast with our RealRyders! We are so pleased to see others are too, check out these reviews on the RealRyder:
