Founded by a former Division I wrestler from Davidson College, NASM-certified trainer, and fitness coach with over 10 years in the industry, 5 Core Fitness was built from the ground up in one of the most competitive, high-turnover fields out there. We've grown and thrived by staying focused on what matters: results, relationships, and doing the work the right way.

Joe at 5CoreFitness has been a true game-changer in my journey toward better physical fitness. From day one, his expertise, energy, and passion for helping others transform their lives were evident. What truly sets him apart, though, is his mastery of calisthenics and his ability to make bodyweight training both challenging and empowering.

Joe has genuinely transformed my life, and I’m not exaggerating. Two years ago, I couldn’t imagine being the kind of person who works out four times a week. I was convinced that I wasn’t cut out for the gym—I felt too shy and thought I just wasn’t a “gym guy.” But Joe changed everything. His dedication, encouragement, and example showed me that with hard work and consistency, anything is possible.

As a former Division I wrestler and NASM-certified trainer, our founder brings a rare level of focus, accountability, and precision to every session. We don’t offer cookie-cutter programs—we create custom strategies built around each client’s unique goals, lifestyle, and limitations.
