K.O.R.E. Wellness
KORE Wellness meets you where you are and gives you the tools you need to finally achieve long term success with your health. I love the community of encouragement. I love not having to think about my workout. I love knowing I can trust the trainers to correct me and challenge me to pick up a heavier bell.

I love the non intimidating, non judgemental, non-meat market atmosphere. It's a place for real people who want to be pain free and healthy. You have a career that challenges you, a wonderful family, and the best friends a person could ask for but. Your dedication and work ethic have been major factors in your climb up the "corporate ladder" and the rest of your energy is spent being the backbone of your family.

Coach Elise and her team are the BEST, my gym for the last 5 years and for life. These folks care about each member and will adjust any workout to their particularities/health/age, to pull the best out of you. The membership is diverse, playfully competitive at best, and devoid of testosterone/machismo. All ages, all colors, all genders, all healthy. Been through a number of physical ailments and challenges myself and they always coach me back into feeling great!

I’ve waited a while to post this review so I could really digest the experience I had here. I wanted to love it, but was disappointed when the website’s description and the in-person experience did not align.
I recently moved here from across the country, and was excited when I found KORE’s website. It talks a lot about community, meeting you where you're at, and the key ingredient that they have that all other gyms are lacking—hands-on coaching.
Hands-on coaching is not what I experienced in my free-trial week (trying out the group class setting). The coach who oversaw our group frankly

A coworker and I have committed to personal training for the first six months of 2020, and chose Kore Wellness as the spot to challenge ourselves. I love how they structure the workouts to meet our individual goals!

The staff at Kore Wellness are fantastic. My individual programs are tailored specifically to what I want to work on and around other activities I participate in, like running. They are also very supportive and patient. And the others members are fun too!

I am so, so grateful for the team at KORE Wellness. They truly design a program just for you and your needs, and for me, this has been a lifesaver. Because of the program they designed for me, there is a noticeable difference in my energy and ability to do things I haven’t done in years (like squat with no pain). I highly recommend KORE - the trainers are professional, friendly, and encouraging.

I can't recommend KORE enough for anyone wanting to become more healthy. The trainers are great (knowledgeable, supportive, non-pressured), the classes and training are excellent (I have gained strength and aerobic fitness so much quicker than I expected), and the people you work out with become like family. I expected good training, but I didn't expect a community that welcomed me in, supports and encourages me, and has quickly become like friends and family.

Great atmosphere and small group training. You go through an assessment where the coach evaluates York's booth before throwing you ina class. In all honestly i enjoyed the class however the time and location does not fit my schedule

KORE is a fabulous gym with a wonderful staff excited to watch you grow. Super fun workouts with the strongest support system I've ever experienced. Can't wait to be done traveling so I can get back to the 8:30 gang.

Elise Matthews is the owner of this gym and she is well loved by her staff and community. She's bright and hard working. Elise has a deep commitment to her fitness family. Columbia is lucky to have her and KORE.

I have found a community that makes me better. We meet most mornings at 5:30 for the most diverse and challenging workouts that have made me stronger, healthier, and a bit more myself over the past year. I am grateful to have found KORE!

KORE is really great. My wife and I both work out here. I go to the Functional Strength classes, and my wife attends the semi-private training. There is so much to appreciate with KORE. The trainers are very good (relaxed attitudes but attentive and focus on detailed coaching in a supportive / non pressured way), the workouts are great (Elise commits to not repeating a workout all year, so every time you arrive it is something different), and the members. The people you work out with are so nice, welcoming, supportive, and truly become like an extended family. I regret when I miss a day.

I just had my first session and it was unlike anything I’ve done before. I feel great! Personal attention, small groups and ZERO intimidation. No one screaming at you to “keep going”. I felt very safe and the personalized workout was designed to help with my injuries, as well as strengthen my core. I cannot say enough about this gym. It felt like physical therapy meets working out. I look forward to my next workout, which is something I’ve never said in my life!

Gyms have always been far out of my comfort zone. But having been a member at KORE Wellness for a while now, I can firmly say, this is more than a gym. It's a community of people--trainers, clients and staff--who are all working toward becoming a better version of themselves. The atmosphere is non intimidating, the class variety is engaging, and the focus is on form, technique and injury prevention. Trainers are engaged and knowledgable. Plus we genuinely have a great time burning calories. I cannot recommend KORE more highly!

KORE is unlike any other gym. The sense of community everyone has there instantly makes you feel welcome. The knowledge that each trainer holds allows you to easily trust them to guide you through your workouts. I have been a member of KORE for about a year now, and I have never been happier to work out. Going to the gym is no longer a chore.

This gym is truly one of a kind. Each trainer has a vast amount of knowledge that goes beyond how to exercise. The trainers help to build a work-out routine that suits you, and they are they are passionate about making sure everyone is happy with their experience. This gym has a great sense of community and no judgement. I am so happy to be apart of KORE.

KORE is an amazing gym. The trainers have a strong knowledge base that they all continually work to expand. It is evident how much they care about the wellbeing of the clients because they go above and beyond in many ways. There is always a fun challenge to participate in if you need to keep things interesting. Great place to reach new goals, get out of pain, rehab an injury, refine your moves, explore nutrition and meet some nice people. It is an encouraging environment. Great place for all ages and all fitness levels!

Joining KORE, the best decision I've made in my journey towards improving my health and fitness. They take the time to find out your goals and individualize a program for you to achieve your goals. The staff motivates, challenges, inspires and encourages you to do the best during your workouts. The trainers are experienced and make sure you are doing things the right way. Always willing to answer questions you may have. Very friendly staff.

One word: Family. After the guy I had been going to closed, I was sure I'd never find another place to push me as hard and a group that felt as close to family as swole mates can get. I was wrong. Members and staff alike took an interest in getting to know me. Additionally, the workouts aren't the popular fad exercises that you'll find around town. It's full body bootcamps, kettlebells, and boxing classes taught at a challenging level with an emphasis on form, to prevent injury; that's what keeps me coming back to my family at the end of a long workday.
