They allowed us to film so workout content for my wife’s Fitness Training and it was a great experience. Plenty of space and very clean with music playing!

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 seemed rather disinterested in coaching at all. He would show us the initial exercises and forms that we would rotate through, and then do nothing else for the rest of the class.As someone who hadn’t been in a class setting for quite some time, I would get confused between similar moves, or not be quite sure about the form. It was only after floundering for a while on my own, and then physically walking across the room to ask for help, did I get slightly more guidance. I even had a regular attendee scoff at me when I was struggling with a certain move.It didn’t seem like the staff was at all interested in helping a newcomer feel welcomed. They had no interest in convincing me to give them my money! I wanted to love it, I wanted it to work, but they didn’t return that sentiment.For a such high price tag for a 30-minute class, I hope that KORE can take an introspective look at their attentiveness to new potential clients, and better align what they advertise online to what they deliver in person. I’m better off designing my own workout split at home ?♀️

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!

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

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.

KORE is the best gym experience I've ever had. They work to design a custom program based on your physical and overall health needs, and they are so encouraging and helpful. The KORE staff make working out fun and holistic.

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.

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 have been very impressed at how quickly I gained strength and fitness. I feel much better: more energy, less aches and pains, better stability, better mental energy. A friend recommended KORE to me: telling me I couldn't go wrong. He was right.

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!

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.

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!
