Fantastic experience: True Core is a great place. Not only a gym but a community. Coaches are motivating, encouraging, and caring. Workouts are fun and challenging. It’s great to show up for a class and see people you know, have the coach know you, and enjoy a different workout everyday. Highly recommend True Core.

Fantastic experience: When I first joined True Core, I wasn’t sure where to start. One of the standout aspects of True Core has been the coaching staff especially working one on one with Maddie. They provided invaluable instruction on lifting techniques and the personalized guidance and encouragement helped me build strength I didn’t realize I had. The PT training and classes have been a game-changer for me. By participating in regularly scheduled classes, I found the accountability I needed to stay committed to my fitness goals. These classes have been instrumental in pushing me beyond my comfort zone and achieving progress. The results have been transformative. I’ve discovered that I am much stronger than I initially thought. This newfound strength has had a significant impact on my daily life. I can now easily keep up with my kids, whether it’s playing at the playground or carrying them up and down the stairs simultaneously. Additionally, I’ve noticed improvements in my sleep patterns, which I attribute to the increased physical activity and overall fitness level. Overall, True Core has provided more than just a place to work out—it’s been a catalyst for personal growth and improved well-being. The combination of knowledgeable coaches, structured classes, and the resulting physical and mental benefits make it a valuable investment in my health. If you're looking for a gym that offers comprehensive support and fosters significant personal growth,True Core is a fantastic choice.

Amy Bradbury (EP) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before I found True Core's Transformation program, I was searching for a gym that could help me rediscover my passion for working out and make it enjoyable again. I wanted to get back into a regular workout routine but struggled to find the right fit. I had been really frustrated trying to solve this problem on my own. I attempted to work out at home but was constantly disappointed with myself for not sticking to any program or getting a good workout in. It felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle This time, my journey has been completely different. The classes and sessions at True Core are genuinely fun, which keeps me motivated and excited to work out. I’ve finally found a place where I want to be, and that makes all the difference. Since starting the program, I’ve seen significant changes. I’ve developed a consistent workout routine, and I look forward to every session. I’m eager to be at the gym, and this enthusiasm has been a game-changer for me. The impact on my life has been incredible. I feel great, both physically and mentally. The True Core Transformation program has truly transformed my fitness journey and has helped me become a better version of myself. I highly recommend the True Core Transformation program to anyone looking to reignite their love for fitness and achieve lasting results

Fantastic experience: I was familiar with True Core from friends being members and participating in events. My gym recently changed hands, and I needed a new place to work out. It was an easy decision and I have not been let down. Coaches are great, plenty of class options and always a suggestion to modify a workout to make it attainable. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge!

Positive experience: Before I started the True Core 6-week jump start program, I struggled with maintaining a regular workout schedule and often found myself snacking throughout the day instead of eating balanced meals. I also found myself getting really frustrated—missing one workout would derail my entire week, leaving me stressed and even less motivated. This time around, things have been different. I've learned to prioritize myself, ensuring I exercise even when I'm tired after work. The changes have been remarkable. Not only have I developed healthier eating habits—feeling genuinely hungry when meal times approach—but I also feel physically stronger. Walking my dog, especially uphill, has become noticeably easier and faster. This boost in strength and energy has profoundly impacted my life, enhancing my overall well-being and vitality. If you're looking to transform your lifestyle and prioritize your health, I highly recommend the True Core 6-week jump start program. It has been a game-changer for me

True Core CrossFit

Eileen, we cannot tell you how glad we are to hear about your experience with the 6-week long start program!

Fantastic experience: I just finished my six-week jumpstart with TC. I feel like I’ve gotten my confidence back. It was the push I needed when life was really getting in the way of taking care of myself. I am grateful to the staff who provided the external motivation I needed. Excited to see where this journey takes me.

Fantastic experience: True Core Virtual Coaching: Was a Game-Changer for me! I’ve been part of True Core’s virtual coaching program for about 12 weeks now, and let me tell you, it’s been an eye-opening journey. Before I committed to the program, I struggled with motivation, willpower, and self discipline, to make positive changes in my life...especially with strength training workouts. Working out on my own was a constant battle—I’d often cancel on myself, and that wasn’t helping anyone, especially me! I am a person that needs accountability and True Core (Michele) gave me that...but I still tried to "cheat" and again, doesn't help anyone. The Frustration: Finding that initial push was tough. I knew what needed to be done, but I lacked that kick-in-the-butt accountability, still struggling with it, but is WAY better. I NEED structure and a set time to show up. What’s Different This Time: True Core changed the game for me. The personalized coaching (Michele) gave me the encouragement I needed. And it didn't hurt that I had already had somewhat of a connection with Michele, as she would visit Florida and take AND teach classes at my Jazz Fitness Center. It gave me a starting point, a plan, and most importantly, someone cheering me on. It makes all the difference when you have someone in your corner wanting you to succeed, even when things and stuff get in the way. The workouts became less daunting, and I felt more motivated to push myself. Visible Changes: My gut health is improving, and I can feel it. But the real victory? My willpower. It’s not a complete overhaul, but even a slight improvement feels monumental. Saying “NO” to poor food choices is empowering—I’m finally taking control. I haven't had a French Fry in almost 40 days! That is a HUGE win for me; because if you know me at all, you know that I LOVE FF! Impact on My Life: While I can’t pinpoint all the ways yet, I’m loving the positive shifts. True Core has nudged me in the right direction, but I know there’s more work to do. It’s time to invest in myself and keep pushing forward. I'n not gonna lie, some days are harder than others, especially when you have knee/shoulder issues. I hear Michele in my head with POSITIVE & ENCOURAGING mantras. And it also helps that she posts HER journey on SM showing that she is human too. Those posts always lift me up and give me the "I can do that too" attitude. Thank you, True Core, especially Michele, for being the catalyst I needed! Highly Recommended: If you’re looking for a supportive virtual coaching program, True Core is the real deal. They’ve got your back, your front, and both sides! I'm biased, but if you do decide to try True Core, ask for Michele - she's the BEST!

True Core CrossFit

Thank you so much Kim for sharing your experience with our virtual coaching program! We are thrilled to hear about the positive impact it has had on your motivation and willpower. Keep up the great work, and we are here to support you every step of the way!

Kristen Santos 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Michele for six months, and already I’m noticing a difference in so many areas of my life — not just exercise and nutrition. After pregnancy, my core needed attention that it didn’t get for YEARS. Michele has helped me rehab my core safely and effectively, and there is quite a noticeable difference from where I was when I started. Michele has helped me to stay consistent. She’s been with me every step of the way, encouraging me when I need it and cheering me on for all my wins — big and small. I’ve lost inches, shifted my mindset, and continued my fitness routine through a major injury (broken hand) where before I would have given up only to start over at ground zero again. I still have a long way to go, but my momentum is only building. I know Michele will help me reach my goals. If you’re considering working with her, don’t think twice about it. 20/10 would recommend!

True Core CrossFit

Thank you so much Kristen for your amazing review! We are delighted to hear about the positive impact Michele has had on your fitness journey. Keep up the fantastic work, and we look forward to continuing to support you in reaching your goals!

Fantastic experience: I must say that I've been to a lot of CrossFit gyms but this one is the best by far! It feels like a true community as soon as you walk through the door. I'm always nervous to try new CrossFit gyms out but don't be as everyone is so kind and willing to help! You don't feel judged and I automatically felt like I connected with the coaches! They even email/text you to check in on you to see how you are doing. They keep you motivated and interested making you want to come to class! It's my getaway from stress at home and work. Definitely recommend!

True Core CrossFit

OMG Shannon thank you so much for these kind words!! We want every member to feel welcomed the second they walk in! So SO glad to have you here!

CAtey OBrien 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before I started working with the True Core team, I struggled with finding the motivation to exercise consistently. I'd work out sporadically, allowing work, family, and other life responsibilities to overshadow my fitness goals. This lack of consistency left me feeling incredibly frustrated, to the point where I often questioned whether it was worth trying at all. However, my journey on the Transformation program has been remarkably different. With the guidance and support of Aline, I've learned to break down my goals into manageable weekly tasks. This approach has made my objectives feel more attainable, allowing me to steadily build up to where I want to be. The weekly reviews and planning sessions have been a game-changer, helping me understand and overcome the barriers that previously held me back. The changes I've experienced so far have been transformative. I've rediscovered a sense of self-prioritization that has had a ripple effect across all areas of my life. I have more energy, make healthier choices, and have set boundaries to ensure I start and end my day right. I've even overcome my mental block about running in cold weather—a limitation I had imposed on myself for years. These changes have significantly impacted my life. I'm more organized at work, feel physically and mentally better, and make conscious decisions about my lifestyle. This shift in mindset has been instrumental in my journey towards a healthier, more balanced life. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone wanting to make a change in their health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: So I’ve been here for about a year and found out about this place by complete accident. Decided to get some info from them and joined within that week. I was scared, nervous; a new gym environment I wasn’t used to and I had heard things about CrossFit gyms. This place is extremely friendly, I had people welcoming me every time I showed up and I didn’t even know their names and that’s a huge thing with me. The coaches are excellent in their craft and very knowledgeable and will go through movements in depth so I don’t feel lost. Absolutely worth the accident to find this place.

True Core CrossFit

Dominick watching you on this journey has been so inspiring!! we have LOVED having you part of our family and seeing all changes you have been able to make!!

Jessica Graves 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: was struggling with my weight, my confidence, my energy, my happiness with myself, my appearance, and overall relationships when I found True Core. I had spent a lot of money on videos, apps, and supplements that I either didn't do or it didn't work. I felt disappointed in myself for not following the videos or special cookbooks. I had basically “given in” and was accepting that this is just how I'm supposed to look due to my age and family…. However True Core’s Transformation program has been a GAME CHANGER! I'm being held accountable!! I'm showing up even when it has been difficult. Being shown the correct way of performing the movements. For instance, pushups, in the Navy I did pushups just to find out I'd been doing them all wrong! They're much harder the correct way, lol. I already see a difference in my body shape. I've lost 4 inches around my middle, I’m more toned and I’m building muscle. My alcohol intake has drastically reduced b/c I am learning better ways to cope with my stress. I feel more confident and stronger. I'm sleeping better. I can put on my underwear, pants, and socks without having to hold my leg up or balance against something. Which is a huge win after having hip surgery several years ago! I never thought lifting would feel as empowering as it does, I can understand why people love it. I would highly recommend True Core and their Transformation program to anyone who is tied of settling in their own health & fitness!

True Core CrossFit

It has been WONDERFUL to work with you Jessy!! We are so happy to see all your amazing progress!! keep up the fantastic work!

Shannon Tucker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before I joined True Core I felt like I was driving myself insane. I can sum it up with this phrase, " The definition of insanity is repeating the same things over and over again expecting different results. I was trapped in this kind of cycle and couldn't seem to break out of it on my own. Through working with True Core, I am making a conscious effort to rid myself of my old bad habits that do not benefit me. I have been working on keeping the mindset, that consistent workouts each day would lead me to where I want to go. I don't have to crush it every workout, I just have to workout every day. I'm still working and dealing through my setbacks, but I know I am in the exact right place to make the kind of progress I am after. I have lost several inches off my waist and see the transformation in body in the short time I have been here. All this while being the strongest I can remember and feeling great physically - I am wanting to do more within the workout b/c of the amazing benefits I am seeing and the wonderful endorphins I get after each workout.  I would absolutely recommend True Core!! Wonderful supportive & encouraging environment to get you to your own personal goals!

True Core CrossFit

Thank you so much Shannon!! Its been amazing to watch you CRUSH your goals!!

Jamie Whalen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Consistency used to be a major problem for me when it came to working out. I got into a pattern of Starting and stopping, not following through. Going through that cycle so many times made me feel defeated and hopeless, as if I would be stuck in that rut forever. However, joining True Core's Transformation program has given me the accountability & support to follow through and keep going! I have gained a ton of more energy which is super helpful chasing my two kids around and doing shift work as a nurse. I have also gotten a lot stronger and it's making daily life outside the gym easier too! I just feel much happier & more confident in myself these days. I feel like I am setting a good example for my kids and making it a family lifestyle instead of just a program. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone looking to jumpstart their health & fitness!

True Core CrossFit

Thank you Jamie! We love having you and watching you crush your goals!!

Kevin Adona 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My experience at True Core has been amazing! I joined as part of their 6 week jump start program and it has been very transformative and was exactly the step I needed to take to move forward in my fitness journey training for the Spartan race in September. I have been struggling to stay consistent with my fitness regimen due to personal life stresses and the loss of a significant other who was a personal trainer and would usually create custom workout plans for me. Every time I would begin to prioritize my fitness a combination of the processing grief and daily life would keep me from being able to stay motivated and consistent. I have done CrossFit in the past and really enjoyed the sense of community and was fortunate enough to join True Core and already have a former coworker from Elevate Life and a long time friend from the music scene as fellow members and to show support. Working with Coach Ryan was amazing and I highly recommend PT Sessions with him! All the other coaches have been great to work with as well and weekly classes are challenging and exciting. I can’t recommend this place enough and encourage everyone to reclaim their power and become their best selves and evolve at True Core.

True Core CrossFit

Kevin thank you so much for such kind words!!! We are honored to be on this journey with you!

Robert Varnell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Time seemed to be catching up to me. As a guy in his 50s who spends much of his day behind a desk, I was starting to feel slower and weaker, and each morning seemed to bring a new ache or pain. I can even remember thinking, "Well, this is just the way it is as you get older." This past Christmas, I changed my mindset and joined True Core CrossFit. The results have been real and immediate: In just six months I've lost weight (about 10 lbs.) and gotten stronger, and I have more energy and feel more confident. Most important, my aches and pains have largely gone away. My back feels so much better. These great results can be attributed to two things: True Core's workout program and its people. The workouts are incredibly effective and efficient--one hour is all you need, which is perfect for a busy lifestyle--and I love their variety. But what really sets True Core apart is the people, both the coaches and the other members. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive, and there's no judging. I've enjoyed the experience so much that I've even gotten my college-age son to join True Core too. He enjoys it as much as I do, and we compare notes on the workouts. Joining True Core is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. Life-changing is a big statement, but True Core really has been for me. My only regret is that I didn't discover True Core years ago.

True Core CrossFit

Its been amazing to have you TC Rob!! your work ethic is inspiring and we love having your son here too!! Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey!

Andrew Clark 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core, I had lost my way physically. I was not exercising or eating well. I was the heaviest I have ever been. I was struggling with a lack of energy, trouble breathing, and did not have a great outlook for the future with regard to my health. I had some leftover weight gain from the pandemic. Bad habits were everywhere and I felt overwhelmed at the idea of changing them. I have struggled with weight and diets all my life, and I was accepting the fact that I would ultimately fail once again. Since joining True Core's Transformation program I have made amazing progress, in particular making great strides with my nutrition. The "Pick 1" plan was so easy to integrate. On top of that, the incredibly supportive environment at the gym and the care the coaches have shown have really brought multiple elements of this together - in a much more profound way than my previous efforts to tackle these things individually. Tying it all together was the mindset coaching which taught me to give myself grace, accept when I mess up, and realize that this is a lifestyle change and one that I can do. I have seen so many changes already! Physically I feel better. I can see the muscle tone and weight loss already starting after just a few weeks. I breathe better, my clothes fit better, I have way more energy and less stress. My diet and choices are excellent - and when I screw up I don't treat it as a failure but as a learning moment. Most importantly I am self aware about choices and what I am doing - with diet, activities, sleep, etc. I still feel like I have a few more gears to use, and can make even better progress, but am quite pleased with my pace of change and the "stickiness" of these new behaviors. Days feel much more productive, energy and attitude at an all time high. I look forward to the workouts & my time at the gym. I feel accomplished and that these changes are permanent and not a challenge/diet/short lived effort. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone looking to make a change but unsure where to start. True Core's Transformation program has been a game changer!

Thank you so much Andrew!! It has been inspiring watching you tackle this journey!!!

Fantastic experience: Joining True Core has changed my life in every possible way. I was looking for more than just a gym. I needed a lifestyle overhaul. The coaches were patient, kind, and encouraging. The other athletes made what can be an intimidating sport feel comfortable right away. It's a very family-friendly place which is extremely important to a single mom. My son works out with us sometimes too and is nurtured by the community. I went from novice to competing at regional events. I cannot imagine my life without True Core. If you are hesitating, don't. This sport and gym is for EVERYONE. I'll see you in class.

We have LOVED having you both at True Core!! Thank you for inspiring us and so many others!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely supportive and positive environment. Aline is a top notch physical trainer/ mentor/coach. True Core’s Transformation program has given me a fresh start into fitness and the level of accountability that I am help to is exactly what I had tried to accomplish with another gym membership, but they did not have the support I needed as an option. I am very grateful to have found True Core!

Thank you SO MUCH Jeanne!! Its been incredible to watch you CRUSH your goals so quickly!

Robin Beers 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core, it had been years since I enjoyed any exercise or physical activity. I had low energy, a lot of aches and pains, and a lack of consistency when it came to food choices. It had gotten to the point where the status quo just felt like something that potentially may never change, something I might not be capable of changing. I felt stuck. I took a big leap of faith in reaching out to True Core and signing up for the True Core Transformation program. My experience with the program has been great! It is getting easier to make consistent food choices with the support of my nutrition plan and my appetite is regulated in a way it hasn't been in years. With the support of my coach and the gym community, I have found myself trying things I wasn't sure I could do (think weightlifting!) and as a result, my confidence is growing. Joining True Core has given me hope that I can make meaningful and lasting changes that will lead to a richer and more fulfilling life outside of the gym- a life where I have the strength and confidence to do anything I want! I would recommend True Core and this program to anyone wanting to finally make a change!

True Core CrossFit

Robin you have been doing AMAZING!! We are so grateful to be on this journey with you!!

Wendye Rich 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having been a member at a number of CrossFit gyms around the country, I can honestly say that True Core has by far exceeded my expectations. From day one Owner Shannon, the Coaches and other members have been welcoming and extremely encouraging. The overall gym environment is fun, energetic and definitely feels like “Family.” I am working directly with Coach Joanna King on focused sports training and nutrition. She is knowledgeable, explains things in detail, and tells you how everything relates to make you more well rounded. I feel that she is genuinely invested in my health and well-being. There are a variety of class and coaching options at True Core that would be suitable for anyone looking to make positive changes in their fitness/nutrition routines. If you are looking for a “Community” to embrace you as you work towards your goals … True Core is it! Come join us , you will not regret it.

Thank you so much Wendy!! these were very kind words and we are so grateful to have you a part of our community!!

Robin Soma-Dudley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before starting the Transformation program at True Core I was really struggling with my energy levels and a general malaise about myself. I wasn't feeling happy with myself. I just felt unmotivated. I wanted to do something but my ability to start doing something just wasn't there. Had gotten out of routine thanks to COVID and was having a really hard time taking the steps necessary to get active again. Being a part of True Core I feel extremely supported and much more content. I am more willing to take my accomplishments to heart no matter how small they may be. I have seen my energy levels really increase, and my stress and anxiety decrease. I have lost weight and just overall feel much happier overall. The staff at True Core have been so supportive and motivating along the way. True Core is a very welcoming and encouraging environment that I highly recommend!

True Core CrossFit

Thank you so much for the kind words Robin!! We have LOVED watching you get active again and develop a great self-care plan!! Thank you for letting us be apart of your journey!

Jeremy Ragsdale 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My name is Jeremy Ragsdale, and I am thrilled to endorse True Core. I’ve been a professional musician all of my life, which usually means a lifestyle with zero fitness. I was in pretty bad shape when I first joined True Core, and now I’ve been here for two months. These amazing coaches and fellow students have set an environment for me where I’m constantly getting stronger and faster. Everyone is funny and patient with me. I’m never overwhelmed by the workouts, and I’m never judged or laughed at because I’m currently quite bad at jumping rope. It’s only been two months, and I already feel like a totally different person inside and out. I wish this for everyone else who knows that they’re capable of so much more than they’re currently outputting. Come hang out with me at True Core. You’re going to amaze yourself. ❤️

Thank you Jeremy!!! We have simply LOVED having you at True Core! Its inspiring to watch you tackle your health & fitness goals!!

Meg Brennan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place. Before True Core I had no energy and poor strength. I was stagnant in my health goals and didn't know what to do next. I lacked confidence and wasn't super motivated in any aspect of my life. I felt run down, distracted, and anxious. I found myself doing great for a bit and then getting bogged down by what I hadn't yet accomplished. I lacked consistency and focus and was overwhelmed by so much content on social media. I was frustrated by my lack of progress and impatient for growth but couldn't stick to a plan. Through True Core's Transformation program - I'm more accepting of the reality of where I am on my fitness journey. My work with True Core has taught me to focus on the development of the practice instead of "mastering" the content—to be kind to myself as I'm trying new things, and to shift my excitement toward feelings of strength rather than numbers on the scale. Real change takes time — having appointments on the calendar helped create accountability and momentum. I see so many people at the gym (me included) working with what they have, and am so encouraged and excited by the idea that we are all working on something. Everyone has their own obstacle to overcome and that makes me feel like I'm part of the community. I love the mental aspect of the workouts - and can see that my attitude matters in terms of what I can accomplish. I recognize that I'm SUPER HARD on myself and that holds me back instead of it being the motivator I thought it was. I'm thankful for that feedback and the awareness that this program has given me about how I think about food and my body. It helped me create realistic expectations. I'm stronger than I think and more capable than I give myself credit for and that realization is worth the price of admission. The confidence I’ve gained in the program translates to other aspects of my life. I'm more productive and willing to try new things. I feel focused and alive. I'm back to creating art and have developed several big projects. I've carved out time for my passions: dance, drawing, painting and cooking. I sleep better, I'm drinking less alcohol and eating better. I would highly recommend True Core! Top notch staff, fun environment, cool place to be.

Negative experience: I was a member at True Core briefly in 2017ish and found the coach-to-athlete ratio too low and new-athlete support inadequate. I recently attempted to rejoin (they’re the only local box with a class schedule that works for me) and found the process frustratingly scripted. Apparently along with their massive Facebook advertising campaign, they’ve adopted a client funnel process that requires a phone call AND (45 minute!) zoom consultation before on-ramp.

True Core CrossFit

Christa we are sorry to hear you about your frustrations. We actually do a quick phone call to help identify which coach would be best to do your individual consult so we can outline the best plan for you personally. We have found "OnRamp" often does not meet the majority of our new members needs which is why we schedule an individual consult so we can learn how best to support you. This process helps us ensure sure each client has the motivation and tools they need to reach their personal goals.

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core I was running out of options and the habits I did keep were tilting more risk than reward. I struggled with launching a fitness routine, poor nutrition, culinary cluelessness, and by and large, living life out of balance. Wave after wave crashed around me, always without enough time to come up for air and feel whole again. True Core gave me the structure, support, and guidance to create a centerpiece of proper planning to know exactly what I had to do to get going, but also supporting me at every step whenever “maintaining” my fitness routine felt toughest. Forging strong bonds, seeing big gains, and then even bigger gains along the journey gave me just the right nudge in the proper direction. My personal training never slipped below top-shelf. Deep (and heavy!) dives across the lifting spectrum, progressive pacing on erg machines, finding mobility, proper recovery…the works. Always exciting. Never dull. Definitely challenging. Consistently rewarding. Nutrition coaching greatly simplified what I should be eating, and never felt overwhelming or unmanageable. And weekly coaching calls helped me address what was going on mentally and emotionally. All within my comfort zone (even when those limits were being tested). And always privileging my scheduling preferences. Now I feel not only competent but steadfast and confident…back in control of my life. It has been about SO MUCH MORE than working out. The coaches and trainers focus on me as a WHOLE PERSON completely turned my bad habits upside down. Today I have more patience, gratitude, and happiness. Overall, I am extremely humbled and eternally grateful for this experience. So either the waves shrank or I am transforming into a giant.

Fantastic experience: True Core is amazing! I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel a part of their family from day one. I couldn't have wished for a better experience. Shannon sincerely cares about every member. The coaches are incredible... and I look forward to every class I'm able to attend. In addition to the benefits of the CrossFit classes, it has been a joy to work with Joanna King as one of her nutrition clients. Her approach is incredibly well-rounded… enhancing my knowledge about nutrition and how it affects my mind, body, and performance. I am making tremendous strides in understanding and adjusting my approach to nutrition and the importance of feeding my body with the “right” fuel that will enhance my performance at True Core and in my daily life. My energy is soaring, my sleep is restorative, my joints aren’t screaming at me, and I just feel… good. Really good. The knowledge I am gaining is a powerful tool that will be incremental to my commitment to better health. True Core is the "total package." I am grateful to be part of such an amazing community.

Jason Condon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core I had Developed poor exercise and nutrition habits resulting in a body composition that I was not happy with. I felt like I could not maintain good habits long enough for long lasting change. I could lose weight temporarily only to gain it back. Since joining True Core's Transformation program their accountability and encouragement has helped a lot. The communication with the coaches and the instruction and challenge of the workouts is good. It helps me to push myself a little more than I would alone. I have started to feel stronger and more fit. I also am much more aware of how the decisions I make on what to eat and drink affect my goals. Nutrition tracking and the encouragement to use it has helped a lot there. Joining True Core has had a definite positive influence on my life both inside and out of the gym! I would highly recommend the Transformation program to anyone looking to jump start their health & fitness!

Lynn Canade 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first started training at TrueCore I thought the warmup was the workout. I neglected my health pretty significantly throughout the pandemic and struggled to find the motivation to make a change. I’ve joined traditional gyms over the years and found myself walking on a treadmill and going home because I didn’t know where to begin. Through personal training with knowledgeable and patient coaches I’m learning to feel strong and confident in the gym. Through nutrition coaching I’m learning how to recognize and change decades of bad eating habits without the shame and inevitable failure of dieting. Sometimes the physical changes feel subtle, but the investment in my mental health has proven to be immeasurable.

True Core CrossFit

Thank you so much Lynn!! We have LOVED being a part of your journey!

Nicole Melander 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before True Core I was suffering with body image issues and poor self esteem; I felt truly awful about how I looked in the mirror. I had little motivation to do anything, felt gross, and depressed. The frustration and negative self-talk was horrible. I felt like a failure, felt worthless, and that the only answer was to stop eating. I had a terrible relationship with food based on my history of dieting. So food was always my enemy, until I would inevitably give in and binge eat, which started whole body shaming issues all over again. It was an endless loop of failure. Since joining True Core, the change has been wonderful! The difference is this time I had a support system: Aline to teach me that food was not the enemy and to listen to why I was in the mental anguish I was in was a huge benefit. Then having Ryan push me to be stronger than I thought I was, not to give up, and give it one more round caused me to build my self-esteem and not give in to the mindset I had lived with for so long. My mental state of being is so much better, I feel so much better about who I am. I feel strong in mind, and I am most certainly stronger in body. My entire body composure has changed. My waist is smaller, and my hips and legs are leaner and more muscular. My arms and shoulders are incredibly more muscular and toned. But my favorite part is the sense of accomplishment when I finish the daily workout, when I sweat it all out and challenge myself to not give in. Overall, I am a happier person. My kids see it and are so proud of me. In fact, I've brought them with me to see how much work I put in and to motivate them. I have more energy and have a better mindset. I don't fear food anymore and understand how and what to eat to make myself stronger. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, or stress levels!

Nicole thank you for sharing your journey with us!! It’s been incredible to see your progress and personal growth!!

Griselda Wallace 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core's Transformation program I was having a lot of body aches and pains which interfered with keeping an active lifestyle. My fibromyalgia was constantly triggered and so was my IBS-C issues. I was constantly frustrated because I couldn't exercise due to my aches and pains, and it was affecting me mentally and physically. I knew I was limiting my active lifestyle and I think this contributed to not eating much. My weight gain just kept rising. Since joining True Core my pain has almost completely vanished! There are upbeat, professional, and welcoming coaches waiting for me to help me feel better every single day! I have already dropped several inches on my arms and thighs, but more importantly I just feel happier. I feel like more of myself for the first time in years. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone looking to make a change but unsure where to start. Everyone is so friendly and helpful you never have to do it alone again!

Erin Guest 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before starting True Core's Transformation program I was unable to walk up my stairs without being winded. I was unable to maintain a healthy diet. I didn't feel good about my health mental and physical. I would normally get motivated for short period of times and then I would not lose any weight so I would give up. It felt extremely frustrating and discouraging. As if why even bother? This time working with True Core has been totally different! I am motivated to succeed and I have people assisting me on this journey. I also am having results even far beyond just the scale. I am already losing weight but the best part is I am able to walk up my stairs without feeling winded. My confidence has been boosted.I feel happier and more motivated to get out and move around. People at work are even noticing the change in my mood and demeanor. I would highly recommend True Core to anyone looking to make a change! Don't be scared! The staff and coaches take amazing care of you no matter where you might be starting from!

scott whitfield 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before starting with True Core I had lack of motivation, a poor diet, and weak midsection. I had wanted to get back into an exercise routine but felt overwhelmed at all the decisions regarding it, where, when, how etc. I also didn't have a good support system in place. Having the accountability and motivation on a daily basis was really missing, and True Core helped with that! Now I have coaches and fellow members who help me out on a daily basis. The camaraderie and support within this gym is wonderful! I'm sleeping better, have more energy, feel more motivated, my habits are so much improved, but overall I just feel better! I feel like I have purpose again and I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life, ready to take on whatever life brings! I would highly recommend True Core and their Transformation program!

Marzi Viverette 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core's Transformation program, I was struggling with lack of motivation, lack of accountability, lack of direction. I struggled with downhill slides. I kept attempting to make changes on my own but nothing seemed to work or stick. I felt like a hopeless failure. It felt as if I was standing at the base of mount Everest when it came to improving my health & fitness. But now everything has changed thanks to True Core’s program. I am recognizing and celebrating small victories which help me stay focused and on track. I have found a nutrition plan and workout plan that fits my busy working mom of two kids crazy schedule. The nutrition plan is super easy and very adaptable to any situation. I don’t have to make separate meals for myself and my family at dinner time, which is a huge plus. My energy levels have increased and I no longer find myself mindlessly snacking or stress eating because my body is satisfied by each meal. I have an amazing coach who has encouraged me every step of the way. If I do fall, she is there to encourage me to pick myself back up and get back on tract. I no longer get down on myself when I slip. I tell myself it’s just one day or one meal. 6 weeks into this program and I have already lost 20 inches!!!. My clothes are looser and my husband and friends are noticing the changes in my body. I am able to be a better wife, mom and provider because I am finally taking time for myself and putting my self-care first. I am definitely getting stronger each week with each workout. This Transformation program is teaching me the tools to make my health a priority in my life and make it sustainable. It is improving my confidence daily and proving to me that I really can have a family, work full time and still maintain a healthy lifestyle. I love that I am setting a good example for my children on how to live a healthy life/my best life! I have gained healthy coping skills for when stressful events occur, and I find myself responding instead of reacting. I am excited to see what the future holds and now living my best life! I can’t thank Shannon and my coach Aline enough for giving me back my power, my smile and my life. I am so thankful to have found this program.

Deena Duke 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before joining True Core's Transformation program I had an unhealthy relationship with food, low self confidence and no motivation, I was overweight, knowing what to do but lacking the care to do it. I was just so frustrated and felt like I was failing. Every time I would attempt to lose weight or become active, I felt like a failure for letting myself go. Currently I am facing a lot of obstacles in life, and throughout all of them I realized that my health is most important. I need to figure out how to be the best version of myself before giving to others. I am ready to begin a new chapter of my life, starting with putting me first. Through working with True Core I have gained excitement, motivation, and strength (mentally and physically). I make it a priority to get my daily movement in each day, and plan out my meals, I feel unstoppable!! I am a natural people pleaser so putting me first and going against others has been the hardest part. But True Core has supported me throughout and shown me what a better person I am when I take care of myself first. After every workout, I feel so proud it brings me to tears. The sense of happiness I have on the regular for finally doing something for myself is life changing. It is bringing joy to my life when there is currently so much heaviness. I would currently recommend the True Core Transformation program to anyone looking to live their best life!

Thank you Deena! Its been wonderful watching you crush your goals!!

Emily Sweetman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wasn't taking very good care of myself. I'm a mama to four girls but I never worked out, I didn't watch what I was eating, I was drinking way too much caffeine/sugar, and feeling tired all the time. I was not living with any real intentionality in regards to my physical well-being. I was never motivated to really try anything on my own and if I ever was, it never lasted. I made excuses for myself for why I didn't need to eat well or work out. Losing weight has never been a thing I've needed to do. But I would experience fatigue, headaches, and low energy all the time and allowed that to be my "normal". Working with a couch at True Core has been absolutely wonderful! Accountability has been a huge key point for me, but also having someone take the guesswork out of it all and just telling me what I need to do has been amazing! And now that I'm feeling better, I'm more motivated to stay the course because I can see what potential I have for truly being healthy. The biggest changes for me have been my stress levels going down, my fatigue going down, my energy going up, and a complete mental/mindset change! I'm feeling so much better and can see a huge difference when I try to go back to my "old" ways. It makes me not want to return to how things were before. I also feel more mindful of wanting to live with intentionality. I want to be around for a long time and to feel good too. I want my kids to live this way as well.

Annika Marquez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before coming to truecore I was having a difficult time pushing myself in my workouts and seeing/feeling progress in my strength and endurance. Being able to workout in group settings, especially with other people who are just as motivated and driven as myself to work hard, has made all the difference in my fitness journey. You need a family like truecore by your side to push you and motivate you to be your best. You can’t replicate the energy you feel in a group class when you workout by yourself, it’s contagious and working out with your friends and coaches pushes you to greater limits. I've been an athlete my whole life playing for club and high school teams, once I graduated I felt unmotivated and lost trying to find a way to workout and move my body that I loved. Truecore introduced me to a new fitness experience that I immediately felt in love with. I felt like I was on a team again in a way. My fitness journey with truecore has been so enlightening. Ive gained a love for fitness and exercise with truecore that I never knew I had. Being able to incorporate strength and cardio in my workouts was a game changer for me that I absolutely love. I’m very passionate about putting myself in situations where I can challenge myself and become more tough physically and mentally, and truecore has helped me to do that. In my fitness journey I’ve never felt stronger and fitter not only in my workouts but also in my daily life. Ive also gained a healthier relationship with food and exercise which can be hard to navigate when first starting your fitness journey. The changes I've seen and felt in my fitness journey with truecore have made me so much more motivated to take on the day and get things done.Starting my day off with a workout always leaves me feeling strong and accomplished. And as a college student taking difficult classes, truecore has become a space for me to destress and relax while doing a fun workout with people I love

Amanda King 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found myself in and out of globo gyms for years and could never figure out why I could never stay consistent. I would buy a membership then months later I was continuing the vicious cycle of canceling after only sticking with it for a short period of time. Also, I didn't have many people in my circle who were maintaining an all around healthy lifestyle so it was easy for me to not think about nutrition and exercising routinely. Lastly, I struggled with not being challenged. I have always been an athlete, so here I am going through life feeling like I was missing something major, which was channeling my competitive drive in a healthy way. Solving these problems wasn't as difficult because the community at True Core felt like home, I wanted to be there and learn as much as possible. Now, don't get me wrong, learning the fundamental movements of Crossfit was extremely frustrating. I wanted to be further than I was, to be able to throw down like how I saw other people throwing down. It was hard when I compared myself to the members who have been putting in the work for years. I couldn't help it at first, but the coaches reminded me that I just need to continue to show up and put in the repetitions and that takes time. Thank goodness for that reminder. The difference this time is that I have a community at True Core. All those past gym memberships never provided me the space to have that. From that I have accountability because I now surround myself with people who train to better themselves, so if I'm not at the gym for a week, you better believe I am going to be getting texts or calls asking where I've been. What is also different is that I am being challenged on a daily basis to better improve my funcional fitness through a variety of movements that allows me to channel that competitive nature that resides in me. I feel like a kid again going into the gym wondering what kind of equipment the wod calls for that day. I am different. I see that. Others see it. My mind is much stronger, I have a more playful spirit about me because of the empowerment I receive from getting through some really challenging workouts and lifts time after time. I have my people at True Core who push me to be a better person and athlete, I would not work as hard if I didn't have a squad of people working out next to me. My motivation and drive have been stronger than ever, I started doing competitions recently and learned so much about myself through that process. Physically I feel so much better, I have more energy and I feel strong, like I could hold my own if anybody tried to mess with me =). My life has improved dramatically since I decided to take my fitness journey seriously. I have a solid routine that I follow to the best of my ability which helps keep my life at somewhat of a balance. From that discipline, other areas of my life have had no choice but to follow suit. I show up as a better me for my wife, my work, my dogs, my family and most importantly myself. Getting through those spicy wods translates into my outside world, when my mind tells me to quit I do the opposite and keep chipping away. Okay, not always but you get the point. What I do in the box, helps what I do outside the box. My life is better no doubt. I am forever grateful for the community at True Core, here's to more sweat, fist bumps and awful noises whilst trudging through a grueling wod.

Fantastic experience: The coaches here at True Core are excellent! They truly care about your health goals and respect your limits all while providing top notch coaching advice — fitness and nutrition. I was super impressed with how they handled things during the hype of the pandemic. Allowing members to sign out equipment for home use to go along with virtual workouts was a bonus.

I’m so appreciative of the communication and dedication all around. Thank you True Core!

True Core is diverse and inclusive... with members who are beginners & advanced, and represent all age groups and different backgrounds. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. True Core keeps you connected through educational and motivational emails, Facebook conversations, Insta videos, and social activities. The owner and coaches are highly committed to helping members achieve their goals, no matter how big or small. They also offer a nutrition program (for an additional cost) which resulted in me personally losing 10lbs in 4 weeks. If you’re looking for a crossfit gym where you can be your authentic yourself, have fun, get results, and be part of a gym family in the Annapolis community, True Core is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Shannon and her team at TrueCore are the best! With the support of our GM, they came in and did a Lifestyle Challenge with a group of us at my work. This program offered nutrition and fitness coaching and as well as a body scan to track your progress. The program was very easy to follow and what I liked best is that Coach Karen provided a lot of tips that helped you focus on making small changes overall to your nutrition so that you are not depriving yourself and then Coach Ryan was great with adding support and workout instruction to get you active. Seeing the results from the scan in terms of fat loss and muscle gain was very motivating and exciting! If you are thinking about doing a Lifestyle Challenge with your organization, joining the gym, or doing personal training at TrueCore DO NOT HESITATE. They will make you feel like family and truly want to help you become the best and healthiest you!

I was nervous going into this program but so far it has been nothing short or spectacular. From the coaches to the other athletes, everyone is super supportive and just happy to be there! 100% would recommend for anyone who wants to improve their health, nutrition, or just overall way of life.

Fantastic experience: The very first time I visited True Core it was as if I'd already been a member for years. The Coaching staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. They truly care about their members making measurable progress, and moving safely. Their workouts are challenging, and fun! If you're looking to make REAL progress, and achieve your health and fitness goals, let True Core help you get there!

Fantastic experience: True Core is AMAZING! I’m 51yo with very little history in my life of working out. I had a hernia prior to covid and through covid. After finally having surgery, then healing, I had gained 45lbs. True Core has been so uplifting, positive, motivating but for me, most importantly, patient and understanding. Shannon the owner is incredible. Karen my PT is absolutely incredible. My opinion... if you have fear about “Cross Fit” try True Core!

Fantastic experience: I have been a True Core member for 2 years, and I cannot say enough good things about this place and the people - from the coaches to the members. I enjoy going to gym so much because of the community that exists at True Core!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and coaching team. My wife and I selected True Core because of the friendly community and staff and could not ask for anything more. FIVE STARS!

Fantastic experience: As a very gym shy person, everyone has been very welcoming and helpful. I joined specifically for powerlifting, so I can't speak to the actual CrossFit classes, but everyone seems to enjoy the workouts, and they offer day care, and CrossFit for teens and kids, as well as the powerlifting and Olympic lifting. So far I'm really enjoying it!

Thank you Alison!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for about a month now and really love it. I've visited ~5 other Crossfit gyms (from moving/ traveling etc) and the quality of the instruction at this one was by far better than the others. Really supportive/ knowledgeable coaches and very nice members!

Thank you Shannon!

Fantastic experience: In town for a quick trip, so I dropped in to the 12:15pm class on a Wednesday, and expectations were exceeded. The space is incredible - very clean, stocked with all equipment, big garage doors (which I love!), and a strong sense of community (a CF must). Coach Melissa rocked it! She was super welcoming, attentive to all athletes, and informative throughout the warm-up, strength, WOD, and cool down. I loved my experience. True Core knows what’s up! I hope to back soon.

Thank you so much for coming in Stephanie! We loved having you! To see you next time you are in town!

Positive experience: Joined last year. Every class I attended I got individual attention. Class sizes were small, and there's a huge focus on recovery and warming up which is great. I left at the end of the year after prices were raised by 1/3 with a 2 week warning. I was disappointed to leave but my family plan went from 235/mo to 400/mo for 2

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym! Of the three boxes I've been to, this one has the most tight-knit and instant feeling of community when you join. The WODs and coaches are great, and they have a Sunday class- which is rare and AWESOME!

thank you for the kind words Jessica!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at True Core crossfit. The coaches were friendly, the workouts intense, and the community welcoming. I spent a lot of time with Coach Burns doing the olympic lifting classes. I highly recommend them to everyone. I recently moved out of state and joined a gym with a little more emphasis on that kind of training. The coaches are very happy about how easy True Core has made their job. I can't think of any higher praise than that!

True Core CrossFit

We loved having you Cliff! thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great place to test your fitness or to just get started. I was never a "gym rat" or liked working out much but some how CrossFit at Old Bay doesn't make me feel like it's work. Great community of athlete's and motivating coaches. Ownership takes great pride in keeping a very clean space and continually adding and upgrading equipment.

True Core CrossFit

Thanks so much Mike!

Fantastic experience: True Core CrossFit is a well-run, superbly-programmed, and otherwise fantastic gym. If you want a community, it's there, if you want great workouts, also there, if you want to be lazy.. well.. not for you.

Thank you so much for the kind words Diana!
