Why CORE

Kent's best gym,
open to everyone.

CORE. is an independent gym in Maidstone for every kind of person, whatever you're working towards. Come exactly as you are.

Every goal, every level

Whether it's your first ever session or your thousandth, training for a race or just getting moving again, you'll fit right in.

Local and independent

Run by regulars

We're a proper independent gym, owned and run by people who train on this floor too. You'll get to know them by name.

Award-winning

Voted Kent's best gym

We've been voted Kent's Best Gym and picked up a UK Prestige Award, so you know the welcome and the kit both stack up.
