We are runners and walkers, moms and dads. We are tall and short and everything in between. We are teachers and bus drivers, lawyers and gardeners, although what we ‘do’ doesn’t define us. There are days when we love exercise and days when we exercise anyway. Then there are days when we rest. We are diverse, and we are the same.
CoreFitness is a reflection of YOU.
CoreFitness was founded in 2001 by Gina Mancuso as a group fitness and personal training company, starting from a small studio in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia. As the business evolved, the mobile fitness model was introduced, leading to the creation of Boot Camp at the Art Museum steps. This shift allowed CoreFitness to reach more people and embrace a more flexible approach to fitness.
Over the years, the Art Museum steps have become an iconic symbol of CoreFitness’s dedication to both fitness and the local community. As the longest-running fitness company to hold classes at this historic location, we take pride in our commitment, resilience, and ongoing presence, fostering health and connection in Philadelphia.
At CoreFitness, our programs are thoughtfully crafted by Gina Mancuso, a seasoned physical therapist with extensive experience in movement education. Gina’s deep understanding of how people learn and re-learn to move (at any age), combined with her awareness of the diverse factors that influence movement, allows us to tailor our approach to each person’s unique needs.
What truly distinguishes CoreFitness is Gina’s ability to connect with clients on a sincere and authentic level. This fosters trust and encourages open communication, ensuring that everyone feels supported in their fitness journey. Our team believes that what works for one person may not work for another, and Gina’s personalized methodology is designed to empower each individual to achieve their goals safely and effectively.
Programs, training sessions and treatment plans are effective and considerate of individual needs, promoting safety and optimal results. Group fitness classes are high energy and engaging. Gina and her team are skilled at creating inclusive programming for clients at any fitness level; experienced athletes and those who are brand new to exercise.
Fitness where you live, work and play! Enjoy the convenience of training in the comfort of your home or in the great outdoors right in your neighborhood. We bring the workout to you, making it easier to fit fitness into your busy life.
