Core Progression is not your typical gym. We are a personal training centric, total body wellness, boutique style studio. By combining customized personal training with group classes, wellness providers, and retail products, we give clients a one-stop wellness center. And now, Core Progression is capitalizing on the big box gyms’ failure to realize the full potential of the personal training segment, by offering franchises nationally.
