Core Studio & Stretch Therapy

Core Exercise Studio - Comox BC

The Core Exercise Studio is a one-of-a-kind functional exercise studio in the Comox Valley for weekend warriors, post and pre-hab clients, weight loss and injury rehabilitation. It has been open in Comox,BC since 2010.

Our Mission is to give individuals the knowledge and support to gain and maintain functionality to create a life worth living. We provide functional movement programs particularly for post-rehab and condition-based clients as well as anyone who wants to move better and take preventative measures from the wear and tear of everyday life. We have worked with a wide range of clients including those with neurological conditions or degenerative conditions to strength and conditioning. If you are looking for an alternative to your current exercise regime, a different type of program or specialized private training, The Core is the place to be.

We focus on first understanding the anatomy, physiology and pathologies our bodies are going through before developing safe and effective movement patterns to trigger motor responses and repetition. This will ensure we are creating a strong foundation of movement regardless of your age, ability, injuries or flexibility issues. Our goal is to educate and help you gain body awareness through a combination of yoga, mobility, balance, strength, coordination and cardiovascular exercises necessary to improve the activities of daily living.

Our Vision

Creating a place to keep you happy, healthy and moving whether you are recovering from a joint replacement at 70, wanting to chase your grandkids around the park at 60, recover from everyday repetitive work duties at 50 or recovering from a meniscal repair at 40, there is an appropriate program to meet your needs.

This is a place of inclusiveness and endless possibilities. Loving people who truly care about you and extend their invitations deeper than a workout. All around people are smiling, cheery, enthusiastic, and laughing while maintaining focus on the taxing rehabilitation exercises at hand. You feel motivated and inspired by your surroundings. This is our place, a better quality of life.

All programs offered at The Core Studio have been developed from protocols established through research by The American Academy of Health, Fitness and Rehabilitation Professionals, whose mandate is to bridge the gap between the medical and the fitness community. We work in close contact with medical practitioners and Physical Therapists to ensure the proper and post-rehab care necessary for each individual.

We work with a variety of clients including:

Post-rehab: Within one year of injury, onset, or surgery.
Medical exercise client: Past the one-year mark of your injury, onset, or surgery.
Corrective exercise client: No medical conditions; only muscular and/or postural imbalances.
Functional maintenance client: looking to maintain their independence and function.

Classes are limited to 8 participants to keep a personalized setting and more attention to detail. The Core is designed to produce positive outcomes by incorporating education in a fun, friendly and safe setting. If you have any questions, want more information or are just curious contact us.
