HOW HAS/DOES C.O.R.E. AFFECT YOUR LIFE? Ten Fold- the support & love from Laquita Aaron Taylor & staff is amazing and inspiring. Allows people to truly grasp the concept that anything is possible, just set your mind to it & hard work/ dedication. Not to mention the relationships made from other clients is great. Nothing is better than witty banter & laughter during a strenuous workout. Oh yea, & I get to see Vanessa due to CORE :)

IN YOUR OWN WORDS... A great extra to working out at CORE besides the equipment, trained staff, great music.. are the mirrors.. Perfect for Selfie Nation. BUT on a serious note, I don't believe on dwelling on my injury or making excuses for what happened to me. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.(preferably pink lemonade)
