You all know I’m an early to bed kinda gal. I Stayed up late on a school night to go listen to one of my fave authors Gabor Mate. I dragged ass yesterday. Luckily… I have Lola , and the nudge of a client yesterday to get me out on my walk instead of curled up on the couch. Just as I was melting into my chair on a break, I got a text that read “Just finished my walk!!!” That’s all it took. A reminder that I nudged her earlier to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Fresh air, and movement of my body. It wasn’t for time… pace… or distance. Just gentle movement to hopefully help me wipe the tired crank off my face and carry on with some energy when I got home.

Thats why I love my gym.

It’s not one-way—it’s a shared energy. Some days I am the one holding the vision, and other days the women that come in here remind me why I started in the first place.

That kind of exchange builds trust, resilience, and something deeper than just results.

So … Thanks! ❤️🫶🏼

Quick reminder that all Gold Training and Fusion Training packages are on sale until Sunday with 12% off. 💥🥳

For those who participated in the Birthday Throwdown Challenge and earned free sessions or a larger discount, you can absolutely use that instead of the 12% birthday sale if it’s the better deal. Just reach out and let me know so I can apply it for you.

Thank you again to everyone who participated and made this week so fun. The energy, effort, and absolute badassery on the gym floor was unreal. Watching you all show up like that honestly could bring tears to my eyes — I’m so proud to know each and every one of you. ❤️

If you were out of town or sick and had to miss the challenge, don’t worry — I’m extending the challenge and a few birthday surprises until next Wednesday so you can still join in.

Hope to see you in the studio soon!

10 years ago I walked into Core Essentials. Heart pounding; I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was arriving with a heavy heart on the heels of losing my beloved Father, and after doing much healing work, I knew the last pieces would land with Lindsay’s guidance.
Whether you subscribe to this or not, the body holds it all. Every ache and loss, every elation and joy; all for your expansion. It sits in your fascia, waiting to be released.
I think the first 4 months I wept in almost every session either on her floor or in the car on the ride home. Until one day it was ok. I had been lead to healing through breaking boundaries and beliefs, sprinting, lifting, hopping, stretching all with a gentle hand and heart we know as Lindsay.
Her gift doesn’t have words, it’s a dance of pushing you to your limits, holding up mirrors to see yourself, jumping for joy at your accomplishments and equally sharing her own vulnerable stories to show you we are all human, we are all moving through something.
Am I stronger at 51, you better fu***ng believe it, but it more ways than just my body.
Congratulations on 12 wonderful years ✨🙏❤️

Birthday Shenanigans— All week long !

Check out Core Essentials Fitness Studio’s video.

TWELVE YEARS.

12 years of early mornings.
12 years of believing in women before they believed in themselves.
12 years of building something from passion, education, grit and heart.

When I opened my studio, I didn’t just want a place to train.I wanted a space where women felt safe. Seen. Strong. Capable.

Over the last decade, I’ve coached thousands of sessions — meeting women exactly where they are mentally and physically — from young girls finding confidence to women 65+ reclaiming their strength.

We’ve grown.
We’ve evolved.
We’ve won awards. (Platinum & Gold, multiple years running.)
But what I’m most proud of isn’t the recognition — it’s the COMMUNITY.

To every woman who has walked through my doors:You are the reason this space exists.You are the courage.You are the commitment.You are the magic.

And today, I’m honouring myself too.

Because building something for 12 years takes resilience. It takes innovation. It takes putting people first.

Beyond grateful to start the Core Essentials 12 year birthday celebrations off this week on such a special day!!!

With love

Lindsay

A client came In this morning, bright and early for her 6am session. And made a comment about my black coffee.
And it reminded me of something I’d like to share.

The Black Coffee Theory ☕

If you walk into a coffee shop and say,
“I don’t want black coffee.”

The barista just stands there.
She can’t serve you what you don’t want.

And yet… this is exactly how so many women approach their bodies.

“I don’t want this belly.”
“I don’t want to feel soft.”
“I don’t want to look older.”
“I don’t want to feel out of shape.”

Your body — just like that barista — needs clear direction.

At Core Essentials, we don’t order black coffee.

We order strength.
We order muscle.
We order confidence.
We order vitality at 45+.
We order a body that feels capable and powerful.

Because your nervous system is always listening.
Your hormones are always responding.
Your body will move toward what you consistently focus on.

So instead of telling the world what you don’t want…

Place your order.

What are you choosing right now? Are you being direct? Have you specifically asked for what you DO want? Let the universe and your nervous system work WITH you.

Today we celebrate National Women in Sports Day — but more than medals or podiums, we celebrate the courage to show up.

To the women who train before sunrise, who juggle life and still make time to move their bodies with purpose — you are redefining strength. Every rep, every drill, every choice to keep going is you claiming space in a world that once told you to shrink.

To the girls and young athletes watching, learning, and daring to dream — this is for you too.
You’re learning discipline, resilience, confidence, and self-belief. You’re learning how to fall, get back up, and try again. Sport isn’t just building athletes — it’s building leaders.

Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s quiet consistency. Sometimes it’s choosing yourself on the hard days. Sometimes it’s believing you belong exactly where you are.

Keep challenging yourself. Keep learning. Keep taking up space.
Strong bodies. Strong minds. Unstoppable hearts.

Finally —
To my favourite (not a So little) fearless, brave athlete … Thank you!!
Sloane you remind me every day why I do what I do. Whether it’s watching you in your element in the net, on a Tennis Court, battling in Pickleball, climbing mountains, watching you race downhill on a bike catching fly balls in the outfield or jumping off cliffs - im always amazed at your ability to just give it all you got!

Here’s to all women and girls who don’t just play the game —
they change it. 💪✨
