Santa Cruz CORE Fitness + Rehab

I've really enjoyed my time working out with David as my personal trainer. I've had several trainers over the years and David was very professional and personable. He is very detailed oriented and I learned a lot about form and variations of the moves. He was great at switching things up. He challenged me while always being sensitive to meeting me where my body was at each day. He is very passionate about fitness and helping his clients meet their individual goals. I am very happy with the results and can highly recommend David!!!

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 massage experience.

Ok, I came in here for the first time on an insane promo they had for sessions on the vasper machine; even if I had no clue what it was, it was too good to pass up. I'm so glad I came in. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There is a very low-key vibe here. They make you comfortable. both the santa cruz and watsonville locations are conveniently located. I also did an introductory with one of their elite pro trainers and ended up signing up for pt. They offer really attractive membership benefits, a good membership package, and have a great variety of services from pt to massage therapy. Highly recommend!

I received friendly, prompt & efficient service every visit to this facility. I'm using hyperbaric oxygen therapy for improving my general health.

This place is the real deal when it comes to customer service and helping people recover from injuries. Zoe and the front desk staff were super friendly and helpful in dealing with insurance stuff. I've had over 2 dozen wonderful massages from my Massage Therapist Alyssa Danielle. Alyssa is professional, informed, caring, and one of the sweetest humans I have ever met. She is dedicating her life in helping others and I can truly say without hesitation that she's on the right path. Thanks a million to SC CORE and Alyssa, I am so grateful!

I am a client, I came to CORE with chronic knee and neck pain. I no longer have that pain. If you want the best of the best, then CORE is your place. The best services, the best practitioners, the best staff (in front and behind the scenes). Why are they the best? Because they care about improving your life and your wellness. They treat each client's needs individually and don't follow a one-model method of treating injuries. Thank you CORE. You make Santa Cruz a better place.

Beau is professional and personable, and very knowledgeable. He introduced me to a whole new way (different from the physical therapy I've been receiving from my health care provider for the last 8 months) to deal with my arm injury/healing journey that had immediate positive results, and gives me hope! I am truly grateful. Lindy C.

Core’s group workout sessions are so small that the trainers actually design each morning’s workout to match the level of whoever will be attending the session that day. I’ve been a member of Core for several years. I had tried several of the other gyms in Santa Cruz and I knew how easy it was for me to bail out of a large workout class. When I joined Core, I decided to treat my workout classes like appointments; an easy mindset since the trainer was actually expecting me to show up! Now, when I am not traveling, you will find me working out each morning with a tight group of friends I have met at Core and with Core’s awesome training staff.
