“Core Blend North is the place to be if you want trainers who can train individuals with diverse needs and preferences. I have been that person with various injuries and wants. Val and Caleb have been and are the best at meeting me right where I am from day to day!! Val and Caleb are highly qualified trainers. I appreciate their extensive knowledge of how the body works and what it needs to achieve my goals. I give a big shout-out to Caleb for going the extra mile for me, especially with my current back issues. You Rock!!!”
- Christy Csuka

“I love CoreBlend. I started with personal training to help me get stronger and fight running injuries. With Noah, Val, and the CoreBlend Team I have now competed in powerlifting and Hyrox competitions and have achieved more than I ever could have thought possible. It is empowering for an older woman. The CoreBlend gym feels like family and it is a happy place for me.”
- Cindi Ward

“I really love going to Core Blend. The vibe is always great, the coaches are always pushing me to do my best, and I feel stronger every week. It’s honestly the best part of my day.”
- Hudson Hall

“10 years at Coreblend and counting! Gets better and better. Love the new North Location. Great equipment, great environment and wonderful training staff.”
- Kim Walpert

“I have loved working with Josh and Emily. They have helped me stay injury-free (knocks on wood) as an older runner and meet and exceed my running goals. They understand that racing is my priority and tailor workouts to my training cycles. I really appreciate that they seem to genuinely care and are invested in my performance.”
- Susanna Moriarty

"I’ve always been hesitant to join a gym because I felt it would be a waste of money and time since I didn’t know what I was doing. But ever since I joined Core Blend, Alex has helped me stay on top of my training every step of the way! He’s super knowledgeable about ways to train around my limitations and I definitely feel a difference in my strength and abilities since going here. Not to mention he’s amazing at helping me with self accountability and giving it my all!"
- Beverly Hromalik

Ever since starting at Core Blend, Alex has helped me strengthen both my back and my shoulders, which have always given me problems. Now I can definitely tell the difference in my abilities and am moving more freely and confidently around the yard and house!”
- Joe Hromalik

“I started at CoreBlend in November 2023 - so injured and weak I had to hold the handrail to walk up three steps. Corey, Trevor, Noah and Alex LISTENED to me - and created a program to help me get strong enough to even lift the trap bar. They’re so encouraging - they’ve always cheered every single milestone no matter how small. My goal for this year is to squat 200 - which seemed an impossible dream less than two years ago.”
- Annaka Woodruff

“I love Core Blend North! Noah listened to my insecurities and the fact that I don’t like to be pressured into things. My program is designed for me and my back issues. My trainer Valerie keeps a close eye on me to ensure I don’t hurt myself. I love the people, the atmosphere, and I even look forward to working out after years of despising anything to do with exercise. If you’re on the fence, do it. Your health is invaluable and at Core Blend North they will help you see that!”
- Dori Fox

“I go to Core Blend for semi-private training, and it’s completely changed the way I think about strength. The workouts are intentional, challenging, and always evolving—and the coaches are fully dialed in. They’re not just helping me hit goals, they’re pushing me to blow past them. I thought a gym like this might feel intimidating, but from day one, I felt like part of the crew. The community is real. Encouraging, welcoming, and just the right mix of grit and good vibes. Core Blend is the kind of place that makes you want to show up—and show up stronger.”
- Cristina Carrigan

“This place is amazing! I've been working with Valerie and Caleb since January 2025. I had a few years of doing group fitness classes under my belt before starting Core Blend, and I was skeptical of trying semi-private training, but I can say whole-heartedly that the individualized attention from semi-private training has worked wonders for me. I appreciate the programming Core Blend North has put in place for me to improve not just my strength but also my mobility. It has a very supportive community of members and coaches there to provide encouragement and motivation.”

“Core Blend pushes me in the best way possible. The workouts are challenging, but that’s exactly what I love—I’m seeing real results, setting new strength and cardio PRs regularly, and feeling strong and energized. At 49, I truly feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.”
- Robert Jahn

“My husband and I joined Core Blend 1.5 years ago and it's been life-changing. The Core Blend team is dedicated, wise, caring and supportive, and they are all very good at what they do. I receive 1:1 instruction at each session and group class, and if I have questions, I always receive a thoughtful answer (and sometimes even an email explanation)! I'm very thankful for Corey, Morgan and their team!”
- Courtney Broun

"My goal is to age gracefully and be fit for any endeavor. As I approach 50 I never would have thought I would be in the best shape of my life. I owe this to Peyton, Trevor and the rest of CoreBlend Training. Thank you!"
- Cody Laas

- Spann

“Core Blend Lake Oconee has become an essential piece of my health and wellness since moving to Lake Oconee. The trainers are absolutely amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging to all levels and ages. My teenage girls have also enjoyed their athlete's training program and have helped build their confidence in the gym and in the court/field. I have always been "fit" and "athletic," but Jake and the Core Blend team helped take that to the next level with a personalized approach that I can also modify for my busy work and kid schedule. I also love that they have a strong community locally at the lake and in the Athens area.”
- ASHLEE LANE

“One of the best decisions I have ever made was joining Core Blend in October of 2023. It has truly changed my life for the better. I am stronger and more toned than ever. I can’t say enough about the top-notch staff, they are the best!!!”

My trainer Valerie keeps a close eye on me to ensure I don’t hurt myself. I love the people, the atmosphere, and I even look forward to working out after years of despising anything to do with exercise. If you’re on the fence, do it. Your health is invaluable and at Core Blend North they will help you see that!”

“I go to Core Blend for semi-private training, and it’s completely changed the way I think about strength. The workouts are intentional, challenging, and always evolving—and the coaches are fully dialed in. They’re not just helping me hit goals, they’re pushing me to blow past them. I thought a gym like this might feel intimidating, but from day one, I felt like part of the crew. The community is real. Encouraging, welcoming, and just the right mix of grit and good vibes. Core Blend is the kind of place that makes you want to show up—and show up stronger.”
- Cristina Carrigan

“This place is amazing! I've been working with Valerie and Caleb since January 2025. I had a few years of doing group fitness classes under my belt before starting Core Blend, and I was skeptical of trying semi-private training, but I can say whole-heartedly that the individualized attention from semi-private training has worked wonders for me. I appreciate the programming Core Blend North has put in place for me to improve not just my strength but also my mobility. It has a very supportive community of members and coaches there to provide encouragement and motivation.”
- Katy Paulson

“I have loved working with Josh and Emily. They have helped me stay injury-free (knocks on wood) as an older runner and meet and exceed my running goals. They understand that racing is my priority and tailor workouts to my training cycles. I really appreciate that they seem to genuinely care and are invested in my performance.”
- Susanna Moriarty

"I’ve always been hesitant to join a gym because I felt it would be a waste of money and time since I didn’t know what I was doing. But ever since I joined Core Blend, Alex has helped me stay on top of my training every step of the way! He’s super knowledgeable about ways to train around my limitations and I definitely feel a difference in my strength and abilities since going here. Not to mention he’s amazing at helping me with self accountability and giving it my all!"
- Beverly Hromalik

“Ever since starting at Core Blend, Alex has helped me strengthen both my back and my shoulders, which have always given me problems. Now I can definitely tell the difference in my abilities and am moving more freely and confidently around the yard and house!”
- Joe Hromalik

“I started at CoreBlend in November 2023 - so injured and weak I had to hold the handrail to walk up three steps. Corey, Trevor, Noah and Alex LISTENED to me - and created a program to help me get strong enough to even lift the trap bar. They’re so encouraging - they’ve always cheered every single milestone no matter how small. My goal for this year is to squat 200 - which seemed an impossible dream less than two years ago.”
- Annaka Woodruff

“Core Blend pushes me in the best way possible. The workouts are challenging, but that’s exactly what I love—I’m seeing real results, setting new strength and cardio PRs regularly, and feeling strong and energized. At 49, I truly feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.”

I'm very thankful for Corey, Morgan and their team!”

He’s super knowledgeable about ways to train around my limitations and I definitely feel a difference in my strength and abilities since going here. Not to mention he’s amazing at helping me with self accountability and giving it my all!"
- Beverly Hromalik

Ever since starting at Core Blend, Alex has helped me strengthen both my back and my shoulders, which have always given me problems. Now I can definitely tell the difference in my abilities and am moving more freely and confidently around the yard and house!”
- Joe Hromalik

“I started at CoreBlend in November 2023 - so injured and weak I had to hold the handrail to walk up three steps. Corey, Trevor, Noah and Alex LISTENED to me - and created a program to help me get strong enough to even lift the trap bar. They’re so encouraging - they’ve always cheered every single milestone no matter how small. My goal for this year is to squat 200 - which seemed an impossible dream less than two years ago.”
- Annaka Woodruff

“Core Blend North is the place to be if you want trainers who can train individuals with diverse needs and preferences. I have been that person with various injuries and wants. Val and Caleb have been and are the best at meeting me right where I am from day to day!! Val and Caleb are highly qualified trainers. I appreciate their extensive knowledge of how the body works and what it needs to achieve my goals. I give a big shout-out to Caleb for going the extra mile for me, especially with my current back issues. You Rock!!!”
- Christy Csuka

“I love CoreBlend. I started with personal training to help me get stronger and fight running injuries. With Noah, Val, and the CoreBlend Team I have now competed in powerlifting and Hyrox competitions and have achieved more than I ever could have thought possible. It is empowering for an older woman. The CoreBlend gym feels like family and it is a happy place for me.”
- Cindi Ward

“I love Core Blend North! Noah listened to my insecurities and the fact that I don’t like to be pressured into things. My program is designed for me and my back issues. My trainer Valerie keeps a close eye on me to ensure I don’t hurt myself. I love the people, the atmosphere, and I even look forward to working out after years of despising anything to do with exercise. If you’re on the fence, do it. Your health is invaluable and at Core Blend North they will help you see that!”
- Dori Fox

“I go to Core Blend for semi-private training, and it’s completely changed the way I think about strength. The workouts are intentional, challenging, and always evolving—and the coaches are fully dialed in. They’re not just helping me hit goals, they’re pushing me to blow past them. I thought a gym like this might feel intimidating, but from day one, I felt like part of the crew. The community is real. Encouraging, welcoming, and just the right mix of grit and good vibes. Core Blend is the kind of place that makes you want to show up—and show up stronger.”
- Cristina Carrigan

“This place is amazing! I've been working with Valerie and Caleb since January 2025. I had a few years of doing group fitness classes under my belt before starting Core Blend, and I was skeptical of trying semi-private training, but I can say whole-heartedly that the individualized attention from semi-private training has worked wonders for me. I appreciate the programming Core Blend North has put in place for me to improve not just my strength but also my mobility. It has a very supportive community of members and coaches there to provide encouragement and motivation.”
- Katy Paulson

“I have loved working with Josh and Emily. They have helped me stay injury-free (knocks on wood) as an older runner and meet and exceed my running goals. They understand that racing is my priority and tailor workouts to my training cycles. I really appreciate that they seem to genuinely care and are invested in my performance.”

“My husband and I joined Core Blend 1.5 years ago and it's been life-changing. The Core Blend team is dedicated, wise, caring and supportive, and they are all very good at what they do.

I'm very thankful for Corey, Morgan and their team!”

“Core Blend Lake Oconee has become an essential piece of my health and wellness since moving to Lake Oconee. The trainers are absolutely amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging to all levels and ages. My teenage girls have also enjoyed their athlete's training program and have helped build their confidence in the gym and in the court/field. I have always been "fit" and "athletic," but Jake and the Core Blend team helped take that to the next level with a personalized approach that I can also modify for my busy work and kid schedule. I also love that they have a strong community locally at the lake and in the Athens area.”

“I love CoreBlend. I started with personal training to help me get stronger and fight running injuries. With Noah, Val, and the CoreBlend Team I have now competed in powerlifting and Hyrox competitions and have achieved more than I ever could have thought possible. It is empowering for an older woman. The CoreBlend gym feels like family and it is a happy place for me.”
- Cindi Ward

“I really love going to Core Blend. The vibe is always great, the coaches are always pushing me to do my best, and I feel stronger every week. It’s honestly the best part of my day.”
- Hudson Hall

“10 years at Coreblend and counting! Gets better and better. Love the new North Location. Great equipment, great environment and wonderful training staff.”
- Kim Walpert

“I have loved working with Josh and Emily. They have helped me stay injury-free (knocks on wood) as an older runner and meet and exceed my running goals. They understand that racing is my priority and tailor workouts to my training cycles. I really appreciate that they seem to genuinely care and are invested in my performance.”
- Susanna Moriarty

"I’ve always been hesitant to join a gym because I felt it would be a waste of money and time since I didn’t know what I was doing. But ever since I joined Core Blend, Alex has helped me stay on top of my training every step of the way! He’s super knowledgeable about ways to train around my limitations and I definitely feel a difference in my strength and abilities since going here. Not to mention he’s amazing at helping me with self accountability and giving it my all!"
- Beverly Hromalik

Ever since starting at Core Blend, Alex has helped me strengthen both my back and my shoulders, which have always given me problems. Now I can definitely tell the difference in my abilities and am moving more freely and confidently around the yard and house!”
- Joe Hromalik

“I started at CoreBlend in November 2023 - so injured and weak I had to hold the handrail to walk up three steps. Corey, Trevor, Noah and Alex LISTENED to me - and created a program to help me get strong enough to even lift the trap bar. They’re so encouraging - they’ve always cheered every single milestone no matter how small. My goal for this year is to squat 200 - which seemed an impossible dream less than two years ago.”

I appreciate their extensive knowledge of how the body works and what it needs to achieve my goals.

“I love Core Blend North! Noah listened to my insecurities and the fact that I don’t like to be pressured into things. My program is designed for me and my back issues. My trainer Valerie keeps a close eye on me to ensure I don’t hurt myself. I love the people, the atmosphere, and I even look forward to working out after years of despising anything to do with exercise. If you’re on the fence, do it. Your health is invaluable and at Core Blend North they will help you see that!”
- Dori Fox

“I go to Core Blend for semi-private training, and it’s completely changed the way I think about strength. The workouts are intentional, challenging, and always evolving—and the coaches are fully dialed in. They’re not just helping me hit goals, they’re pushing me to blow past them. I thought a gym like this might feel intimidating, but from day one, I felt like part of the crew. The community is real. Encouraging, welcoming, and just the right mix of grit and good vibes. Core Blend is the kind of place that makes you want to show up—and show up stronger.”
- Cristina Carrigan

“This place is amazing! I've been working with Valerie and Caleb since January 2025. I had a few years of doing group fitness classes under my belt before starting Core Blend, and I was skeptical of trying semi-private training, but I can say whole-heartedly that the individualized attention from semi-private training has worked wonders for me. I appreciate the programming Core Blend North has put in place for me to improve not just my strength but also my mobility. It has a very supportive community of members and coaches there to provide encouragement and motivation.”

“Core Blend pushes me in the best way possible. The workouts are challenging, but that’s exactly what I love—I’m seeing real results, setting new strength and cardio PRs regularly, and feeling strong and energized. At 49, I truly feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.”

I'm very thankful for Corey, Morgan and their team!”

“Core Blend Lake Oconee has become an essential piece of my health and wellness since moving to Lake Oconee. The trainers are absolutely amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging to all levels and ages. My teenage girls have also enjoyed their athlete's training program and have helped build their confidence in the gym and in the court/field. I have always been "fit" and "athletic," but Jake and the Core Blend team helped take that to the next level with a personalized approach that I can also modify for my busy work and kid schedule. I also love that they have a strong community locally at the lake and in the Athens area.”
