Helaine's Journey to Health and Strength with CORE57
Every member who walks through our doors at CORE57 has their own goals, challenges, and successes. Today, we are excited to share our member Helaine’s story from her perspective. With our Trainer and Myofascial Therapist Heather’s guidance, Helaine has put in the work to regain her strength and mobility. Her story shows what is possible when personalized wellness and determination come together.
Helaine's Story
"When I started my personal training with Heather in March 2024, I was a physical mess! I was just returning to CORE57 after a 4-month absence due to a piriformis injury, and putting off major foot surgery. I wore a knee brace and walked with a pronounced limp. I missed my semi-private workouts and kickboxing class at the gym. I felt defeated!
"Heather looked at me and said, ‘I get you... I got you... and you got this! But, you have to take some steps back to move forward. Be patient and I will have you moving before you know it!’ I put my trust in her because she understands and explains the body, its muscles, and movement so well."
Finding Strength I Didn't Know I Had
"We joined forces, and I was committed to work hard and consistently three days per week for however long it took to regain mobility, through strengthening muscles I didn’t even know existed! I look forward to every workout session, which includes a comprehensive stretching session. The stretching has been a key component to my enhanced mobility.
"Almost one year later, I am amazed not only at my increased strength, but my balance has improved dramatically. I walk four miles without a limp and ditched the knee brace six months in! I can climb stairs without gripping onto the handrail for balance! And, I never imagined I'd be able to return to my favorite class at CORE57, T2/T3 Express Strength & Sprint!
"Heather is my miracle worker trainer angel! I am forever grateful to her for her commitment and dedication to my physical and mental well-being!"
Wellness that Fits You
We know fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. From the moment you step through our doors, we focus on you and everything you are capable of achieving. For Helaine, that journey started by working with Heather. Using her expertise as both a Trainer and Myofascial Therapist, Heather created a custom approach to meet Helaine’s needs and set her up for success.
We take an intentional approach to fitness by combining exercise science with holistic wellness. Every program we design is carefully crafted to align with your lifestyle, goals, and long-term success. For Helaine, this meant incorporating active recovery and mobility alongside strength training to keep her workouts effective, safe, and adaptable as she progressed.
Our trainers don’t just show you how to work out—they are your partners throughout the process. They collaborate, track your progress, and tweak your program as needed so it always works for your goals and abilities, whether you are in a semi-private class or a one-on-one session.
The Role of Myofascial Therapy in Healing
Helaine’s progress shows how combining strength training with intentional recovery can transform your body’s abilities. True progress happens when all the pieces work together. That is why we go beyond training—we also prioritize recovery and care to keep you moving and feeling your best. Along with personalized core workouts, we offer therapies like Myofascial Release, Gua Sha, and Cupping as part of our holistic approach to wellness.
These therapies are incredible for addressing muscle tightness, trigger points, and even scar tissue that might be limiting your movement. Techniques like cupping can improve blood flow and ease deep muscle tension, while Gua Sha helps relieve soreness and increase circulation. Myofascial release works wonders for breaking up stubborn knots and improving flexibility, making every part of your fitness and recovery experience more effective.
