Core Dynamix: Strength, Conditioning and Nutrition

Inspirational story/Athlete of the month!!

Mark's story is one of great adversity and making small goals, completing them,then finding and achieving BIG GOALS!

Mark reached out last winter and said he wanted to get into training after he finished his cardiac rehab and got the OK to begin a training program. He came to Core and started very slowly, monitoring his heart rate and pacing himself. Gradually the workouts picked up some intensity, focusing on building his overall strength and improving his cardio respiratory system. His goal to me was to "be able to walk through the woods when he was hunting". That's a goal we can certainly work on... the training journey at Core began in February of this year.. fast forward 6 months and Mark just climbed Mt Washington this past Saturday!

Take a look at the picture for this post. What makes Mark's journey so AMAZING is that he went through a heart transplant in June of 2024... just over one year later he climbed a mountain that many people just talk about!

Think about this the next time you say you "can't do" something...

We are so proud of you Mark, this accomplishment is something that is truely once in a lifetime!

July Athlete of the month shoutout goes to Nate!
If you've ever taken a class with Nate, you know he's a quiet, hard worker who is always positive and always trying to challenge himself! Check out Nates's story:

"My journey started when I decided that I wanted to feel better mentally, physically, and be more active in general. I joined Core Dynamix with these goals in mind. I had no real prior experience in strength training and conditioning. I am an avid hiker and outdoorsman, but being a husband and a dad to two young kiddos, it was sometimes hard to find time for myself and to get workouts in at home. I tried at home workouts but was never able to stick to them. I have lived in Alton my whole life and have heard of Core but never thought to join till now. I messaged them and talked back and forth with Jeremy a couple of times, and we decided for me to come in and try a morning class.

It was the hardest and best workout I have ever done and decided that I loved it and joined.I started out as a beginner, the more I went, the stronger I became. With the encouragement of Cutlas, Jeremy and the rest of the 5 am crew, I was able to push harder, lift heavier weights, and even learn how to jump rope and use the treadmill without holding on!! Lol. I have loved my time so far and have not regretted my decision at all. This gym feels more like a family than a gym to me."
