I work at CORE and here are a few testimonials that have been sent to us....

"I was very satisfied with my appointment with Beau Friday. He was timely, professional, knowledgeable and informative. I appreciated the information he shared and intend to follow up on his suggestions. Thanks for asking!" - Nancy H.

“My session started on time and was a 10 overall! My experience was personal and professional. I felt amazing after my massage sessions!” – Greta G.

"Great session – I learned something new! Hurray!! Too bad the GEM machine was being fussy, but we got a result afterall. And I appreciate getting handouts with info to follow through on. I’m a visual person, so seeing the info to review later is great."-Sherri G.

"My session was a 9 overall. My session started on time and the experience was professional and I felt good afterwards. APRIL IS ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL, CARING AND HAS A GREAT POSITIVE ATTITUDE."-Steve S

“Working with Clark as my personal trainer definitely exceeded my expectations. He is careful, knowledgeable and compassionate. My session was amazing , very informative and always professional. I was disappointed in myself for being afraid to walk backwards with closed eyes, but encouraged that in the future; I will overcome my fear and become more balanced. Thank you, Clark, for your patience with me.” – Bobbie H.

“My session was great, Beau really knows his stuff! Great trainer, best I've had. I've been in sports my whole life and never heard critique like this, made me think about everything differently! Thanks so much!! Look forward to future sessions!” – Jessica C.

“April is an excellent masseuse! My session started on time and was absolutely professional. I felt great afterwards and the women at the front desk were also warm, helpful and professional. Excellent experience.” – Teren E.

"Deena truly is amazing! I would still be going to her if I lived in California. I saw her twice a week for 6 months and was able to come off of sleep and migraine medicine. I tried other methods and alternative therapies for pain relief from fibromyalgia, but nothing worked as well as chiropractic adjustments. Deena is so good at what she does and she really cares about her patients on a personal level. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area who is interested in chiropractic therapy." - Christine R.

"Talitha was beyond excellent! She was very professional and informative when discussing present and future sessions. This was the best session I’ve EVER had at Core from ANYONE." - Greg L.

"When I retired a little over a year ago, after 45 years of primarily desk jobs, I decided I needed to get in better shape to actually enjoy my retirement. Although I play tennis several times a week and ride a bicycle some, the various pains I was experiencing made it clear that I was not in good shape. I saw a Groupon ad for Santa Cruz CORE Fitness for private training and thought this would be a good start. Twice in the past I’ve joined health clubs and knew I didn’t have the discipline for them to work. There’s nothing like having someone to push those of us lazy folks a bit !With the expertise of the trainers at CORE, I discovered that more than anything I needed to strengthen certain areas of my body that were weak in order to have my body be back in balance. I have also lost a few inches in several places due to fat being replaced with muscle. CORE’s facilities may be small, but I’ve received such great help that I believe small can be beautiful.

Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage from Clarke Briggs

Receiving a massage from Clarke Briggs is an experience like no other. I now measure every other massage against his, and none have come close. Clarke possesses an extraordinary touch, infused with remarkable intention and care. From the moment he begins, you can sense his healing hands at work, attuned to every need of your body.

What sets Clarke apart is his unique ability to truly listen to your body with his hands. It's as if he intuitively understands exactly what each muscle needs, providing relief and relaxation in a way I've never encountered before. His touch is both therapeutic and deeply restorative, making you feel genuinely heard and cared for.

If you’re seeking a massage that transcends the ordinary and delivers profound healing, Clarke Briggs is the person to see. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in search of an exceptional...

Nice Boutique Gym With Solid Trainers. I have been enjoying CORE’s Semi-Private Training sessions three days a week for about 18 months. I feel positive about everyone I interact with from the office staff to the trainers and the fellow gym-goers. The staff is really friendly and competent, the trainers know what they’re doing, are upbeat and keep it interesting for us, and I enjoy the camaraderie of the small group that shows up to get fit/stay healthy every morning. And maybe best of all, I can see and feel the results!! CORE offers a variety of services (personal training, massage, chiropractic and more) tho my experience is limited to the Semi-Private Training sessions which typically have 3-5 participants. The gym is fairly small and doesn’t have showers, and I believe members can only use the equipment during a scheduled class/session, but they’re good at...
