About us

How it started

"C•RE has been a dream since I was a teenager that was born out of a need: I couldn't stand the crowding and clutter in classic training rooms.
I wanted a gym where I could leave with a smile on my face no matter how bad my day was, a place where I could train and feel at ease, alongside a community of cool people.

Core is one of my dearest projects in which I have invested a large part of my life alongside a group of dedicated and passionate people about fitness and health.

Our vision

From 0 to 2

Although we started with just a set of kettlebells, a TRX and a mat, training in different places in Cluj, today 7 years later we are proud of two modern and well-equipped personal training studios.

Our main goal is to provide solutions to the problems people face in their daily lives, whether from a nutritional point of view or from a training and recovery point of view.

We believe that the most important thing you can learn from us is to be independent and manage your entire life based on the principles you learn with us.
I hope your experience is as pleasant as ours.
