Simplifying Your Movement Prescription with CORE57
At CORE57, we believe that movement is a key ingredient for a healthy and active life! It’s one of our 7 Foundations of Fitness, vital for building a balanced and resilient body. Our approach to wellness goes beyond the gym to make sure you are getting the benefits in your everyday life.
What makes our approach to movement stand out? Let's break down how our 3-tier movement model can transform your fitness journey and your everyday life.
Why Movement Matters
Why is movement such a big deal? Simple: it’s the engine that keeps your body running. From lowering stress levels and increasing memory and brain function to improving your overall physical fitness and lowering your blood pressure, the benefits of movement are endless.
Everyday activities—like walking, stretching, and even playing with your kids—can make a huge difference in your health and well-being. By making movement a daily habit, you can significantly improve your quality of life.
However, not all movement is created equal. That’s where CORE57 comes in. We are here to help you optimize your movement routine and make the most out of every workout and your day-to-day activities.
CORE57’s 3-Tier Movement Pyramid Model
We created our 3-tier movement pyramid model to make your fitness journey not just easier, but truly enjoyable! Each tier is designed to focus on different aspects of movement, helping you build a strong and stable foundation to help you tackle more challenging workouts.
Tier 1: Mobility, Stability, and Active Recovery
Think of Tier 1 as your body's routine maintenance. These classes focus on increasing your range of motion, building core strength, and ensuring your joints are limber and resilient. When you start with mobility and stability, you set the stage for safer and more effective workouts.
Tier 2: Strength Training
Muscle mass is crucial for a long, healthy life. As we age, maintaining muscle tone becomes even more important. Strength training helps build and preserve muscle mass, which in turn supports your metabolic health and overall strength.
Tier 3: Cardio Training
Cardio workouts are excellent for improving stamina, lung capacity, and heart health. However, it's important to adjust the intensity and format as we age to avoid overuse injuries and burnout. We like to say that when it comes to cardio, less is more.
The Power of Personalization: Initial Assessments with Kolleen
The reason our movement prescriptions are successful at CORE57 is that we know that every BODY is unique. That's why we start with an initial movement assessment with our founder, Kolleen. This assessment helps us create a personalized fitness plan that fits your needs and goals.
During the assessment, Kolleen examines different aspects of your movement, such as range of motion, posture, balance, and any past injuries. This thorough exam helps identify your strengths and areas that need a bit more work. Knowing how your body moves and its current limitations allows us to tailor a fitness program just for you.
Here's what you can expect during your assessment:
A comprehensive fitness evaluation and goal-setting session
An in-depth discussion about your health history, lifestyle, and goals
A mobility and strength assessment to identify any imbalances or areas of improvement
A personalized Wellness Rx that tells you the number of classes in each movement tier to take each week
With this information, we create a personalized roadmap that addresses your unique needs and sets you up for success. Not only does this assessment guide your fitness plan, but it also sets a baseline to track your progress. As you continue with CORE57, we monitor your improvements and adjust your program to make sure you’re always moving forward. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey, rehabbing an injury, or recommitting to your personal wellness, we make sure you get the most out of every workout.
