Rockin' Workout this Morning sticky icon

Kettlebells grouped

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.

Friends & Valentine's Day sticky icon

I love the idea of bringing a friend to workout. So for the month of February you can do just that!

February is 'Bring A Friend FREE' month at Core Essentials and I thought I would explain this a little better for everyone.

So here it is: 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!

My husband thought I should send out something for Valentine's Day...
