APRIL IS GOING TO BE ONE FUN MONTH AT CORESTRONG!

Two new instructors are joining the team!
Our Spring Challenge starts April 15!
We've added more class times to the schedule!
Versa training was a huge success and we are
excited to share what we learned with you!

Introducing...

KRYS

Please Join me in welcoming Krys to the CoreStrong team! Krys has recently moved to Boise and is a Certified Lagree Master Trainer. You'll definitely want to experience one of her classes soon!

Krys will be teaching on Saturday's (Starting April 12th) 11am, 12:05pm and 1:10pm. And she's teaching a community class next Saturday the 5th at 1:10pm.

To help us all get to know Krys a little bit, I asked to her finish the following sentences:

I fell in love with Lagree when... I did it for the first time and became obsessed with how challenging it was!
The move that gets me shakiest is... floor lunge!
The workout is like nothing I've ever done because... of the mental challenge and the fact you are consistently humbled.
When I don't feel like working out I tell myself... that’s the best time to do it for my mental game!
My advice to first-time or new clients is... HAVE FUN! Have gratitude for yourself and your body and keep showing up for you.
My advice to advanced clients is... to GET BETTER! You can always improve and do better, and it becomes harder as an advanced client in so many ways, mentally.

BRIANA

I'm also excited to be adding Briana to the team this month! Briana completed her Lagree Certification in January and has been practicing and working hard for the last two months to be ready to deliver a challenging and educational class for you!

Briana will be teaching on Monday's at 2:10pm and 3:30pm and Tuesday's at Noon, 1:05pm and 2:10pm.

Here's what Briana had to say:

I fell in love with Lagree when... I realized it was the answer to my chronic hip pain, and allowed me to return to work.
The move that gets me shakiest is... super lunge.
The workout is like nothing I've ever done because... it's never boring, repetitive or easy.
When I don't feel like working out I tell myself... that movement is both a gift and privilege, and if I hurt myself tomorrow I would regret not moving to my fullest.
My advice to a first timer or new client is... focus on your form before anything else. If you set yourself up with a good foundation, everything follows. Practice makes permanent!
My advice to advanced clients is... take an essentials class at least twice a month and focus on form. You'll be surprised how hard essentials really is!

ESSENTIALS MEGA/CLIMB COMBO IS COMING BACK!
I'm sure you've noticed just how passionate your CoreStrong Team is about helping you hit your goals. No matter where your fitness level is at, it can always get better. I ran across this statement lately and it really hit home!

"Cardio fitness keeps you alive. Muscle mass ensures you can fill your years with living."

We need both! The Versa Climber and the Megaformer truly are the best of both worlds. If you've been hesitant to take the Climb class, I encourage you to try the Essentials Mega/Climb. You will learn the basics of climbing without the fear that you can't do it. I promise you can! You'll be amazed just how good you'll feel after!

Hey CoreStrong Community!

Your team of instructors spent 3 days and a total of 24 hours climbing 2,000 feet higher than Mt. Denali. We were led by none other than the world’s Senior Master Trainer, creator and facilitator of the Versa Climber Training program, Loui Pacheco. Drill after drill, class after class, lecture after lecture, Loui poured us instructors into the crucible, forging us into elevated coaches- instilling us with new knowledge, guidance and passion to help you achieve your goals. His devotion to perfection, energy, and the Versa method had us all hobbling around like trolls by day three, but it was easily an experience we would all do again in a heartbeat.

Here’s what a few of your instructors had to say:

Cozey:
“One thing I’ve really taken away from my trainings with Loui is realizing that I’m far more capable than I ever gave myself credit for. His encouragement and ability to push us outside of our comfort zones made every challenge both demanding and rewarding. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could climb 20,000-25,000 feet in a single weekend. Yet, with the right support from him, and my peers around me, I felt like I could have kept going. For me, that was a powerful reminder of the impact a great coach or leader can have- someone who pushes you past your perceived limits and helps you discover your true potential. And that’s exactly what we should strive to do for our clients.”

Heather:
“Versa training was difficult, it was fun, and it was incredibly educational and inspirational. Difficult experiences shape us, but they don’t have to define us negatively. Instead, they can forge resilience, and remind us of our ability to rise above even the hardest moments…like sprints haha.”

Kerry:
“The VersaTrainer certification this weekend with Master Trainer Loui not only challenged us to come out of our comfort zone, but dig a little deeper into the potential that each of us have to be amazing instructors/coaches for our clients, along with making them all feel that they are capable at any age to embark on this amazing workout. Loui allowed us to grow as instructors and challenge ourselves to not only be physically there for our clients but mentally be able to provide the support, encouragement, and motivation that they each need when trying Versa.”

What does that mean for you, our clients? Prepare for revamped routines, fresh music, new moves, and a new zeal from your instructors. We are here to bring the action, showing you how capable you are of maximizing your cardio potential. We can tell you all the whys of Versa. We can tell you that you burn 22 calories a minute on the Versa climber versus 13 calories a minute in a spin class. We can tell you that you round out your workout by engaging your fast twitch muscle fibers and actively improve your cardio respiratory fitness. We can tell you the Versa climber mimics the natural primal movement pattern of crawling, can help even out your posture, and provide mental health benefits. We can educate you on so many things. But the How? The How you have to experience yourself. If you haven’t tried Versa yet, or have only come to a few classes, now is the time. See you in a climb class!

*A special thank you to Cathy, who invests so much time, energy and resources into us instructors to make sure you get the best workout in Boise. A thank you to Julie who kept us fed with the most delicious and nourishing food all weekend. And finally, a huge thank you to Loui who traveled all the way up to Boise to insure you would experience the best Versa class in Idaho.
