CORE PROGRESSION ELITE PERSONAL TRAINING T here are nearly 40,000 gyms or fitness centers in the United States, so choosing the right one to cater to one’s needs may take some shopping around. One of the newest and most unique facilities on the scene is Colorado-based Core Progression, a franchise operation that offers total body wellness in a boutique-style studio, combining customized personal and semi- private training with group classes, wellness providers, and retail products. At Core Progression, clients receive unparalleled results-driven training, nutritional education, and preventative services from chiropractors and physical and massage therapists at an affordable price, so everyone can experience a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. Core Progression was founded by Jonathan Cerf, who grew up in a suburb of Denver and planned to go to medical school after graduating from Baylor University. After he was put on a waiting list, he found a job working as a trainer at a local gym. He soon realized that changing people’s lives through health and wellness was still his calling, but that helping them in a preventive manner, via exercise and diet, as opposed to a prescriptive manner, via medicine, was the way he wanted to go. “My family was shocked when I walked away from the medical route,” he recounts, “but I realized that personal training was the path for me.” AT A GLANCE CORE PROGRESSION WHAT: Personal training and wellness facility WHERE: Headquarters in Northglenn, Colorado WEBSITE: www.coreprogression.com www.coreprogressionfranchise.com
