About Core Strengthening
Welcome to the Core Strengthening program, designed to help adults 50+ build a strong, supportive foundation for everyday movement. Your core is more than just your abdominal muscles — it includes your back, hips, and deep stabilizing muscles that keep you steady, upright, and pain-free throughout the day.
This program focuses on gentle, effective exercises that enhance stability, improve posture, and reduce pressure on your joints. Each movement is chosen with safety and comfort in mind, ensuring you build strength without strain.
What to Expect
During each session, you’ll work through slow, guided exercises that target the deep muscles responsible for balance, spinal alignment, and mobility. Expect a calm, supportive environment where each progression is matched to your current ability level — no high-impact or risky movements. The goal is simple: help you feel stronger, move better, and enjoy everyday activities with greater ease.

"I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Gina for several years. She is truly exceptional in her field. I’ve done private sessions with her and hope to continue those soon. I’ve also participated in her group classes, where I’m the oldest member — at 101 years old — and I’m still able to keep up with the group! I hope Gina is able to secure more sponsors so her classes can be offered at least weekly. She is a gem in the world of physical exercise."

“I’ve worked with many trainers over the years, but none compare to Gina. She understands the challenges that come with aging and always makes me feel supported, never judged. I look forward to every session and always leave feeling better than when I arrived.”

“Gina helped me regain strength after shoulder surgery. I was nervous to move at first, but she guided me through every exercise with patience and encouragement. I’ve made more progress in six months with her than I did in years of physical therapy.”

“Working with Gina has been a blessing. I had trouble with balance and felt unsteady walking around my own home. Gina’s exercises were gentle but effective, and she always made sure I felt safe. I can move with much more confidence now, and my family notices the difference. She truly has a gift.”
