What is Group CORE ?

Group CORE is a functional core training class that targets your entire midsection:

  • Deep abdominal muscles

  • Obliques and waist

  • Back muscles and glutes

  • Hips and posture muscles

We train your core the way you actually use it in real life: standing, twisting, reaching, lifting, and stabilising. No endless crunch marathons. Just smart, effective training that supports your spine, hips, and everyday movement.

You’ll use a mix of:

  • Bodyweight – Bands / plates

  • Standing and floor-based exercises

  • Athletic, simple movements you can follow

Who is Group CORE for?

Group CORE at DS Fitness is ideal if you:

  • Want a stronger core to support your back and joints

  • Feel your posture has slipped and want to stand taller

  • Do other classes (like Group Power, Be Fit, Group Fight, Pilates) and want a core boost

  • Sit a lot for work and feel stiff or “stuck” through your middle

  • Want a short, focused class that fits around work, kids, and life

You don’t need to be super fit or “advanced” to join. I offer options for all levels, so you can work at your own pace and progress over time.

Why your Core matters more than just “abs”

A strong core isn’t just about how your stomach looks. It’s your support system.

A well-trained core helps you to:

  • Protect your back and reduce strain in daily life

  • Improve balance and stability

  • Feel more confident when you move, lift, bend, and twist

  • Get more out of every other workout you do

  • Move with better posture and alignment

At DS Fitness Barrow-in-Furness, I focus on core health and function, not just burn and fatigue. You’ll still feel the work, but it’s done in a way that your body will thank you for.

What results can you expect?

With regular Group CORE classes at DS Fitness, you can expect:

  • A stronger, more responsive core

  • Better posture and alignment

  • More confidence in your movement

  • Improved performance in other classes and sports

  • A feeling of being “held together” through your middle

  • Less strain on your back during everyday tasks

Core strength builds over time. I’ll coach you to progress safely, so you always feel challenged but supported.

FAQ

“I’ve got a sensitive back. Can I still do this?”
Yes, many people come to Group Core because they want to support their back, not stress it. I’ll give you options and you can always work at your own level. If you’re unsure, have a chat with me before class.

“Do I need to be fit already?”
No. Group Core is designed to meet you where you are. We start with good technique, build gradually, and I offer easier and harder options so you can progress.

“Will there be lots of getting up and down from the floor?”
We do both standing and floor-based work, but I keep transitions clear and simple. If you find getting down tricky, I can give you adapted options.

“What should I bring?”

  • A mat if you prefer your own (we usually have some available)

  • Water

  • Comfortable clothing you can move in

“How often should I come?”
Ideally, 1–3 Group Core sessions per week will help you build and maintain core strength. You can also combine it with other classes like Group Power, Be Fit, Pilates, Group Active, Group Fight, or Core Connect & Core Focus.
