The Team

The crew behind CORE.

From the owner to the floor team, these are the people who make CORE feel like CORE. Say hello; it's what they're here for.

Jay, owner of CORE The Gym

Jay

Owner

I've spent 22 years in the fitness industry, and by my own count 32 years dreaming CORE up. I'm the founder and the driving force behind the place, and you'll still find me on the floor most days.

Ollie

Manager

I keep the whole place ticking over and run our Weightlifting Club as a competitive lifter myself. If something's organised at CORE, chances are I'm the one behind it.

I studied strength and conditioning at university, so I know my stuff, even if I'll cheerfully admit to being a distinctly average rugby player. I'm always happy to talk you through the kit.

I started training to win a bet at uni and never looked back. Now you genuinely can't keep me off the gym floor, and I love making new members feel at home.

I'm the baby of the bunch and always smiling. Off the desk I help run our football side, Core Athletic FC, and I'm usually the friendliest face you'll meet on your first visit.

Diwi

Team

I'm one of the originals from the day the doors opened, and a Level 3 personal trainer big on core strength. Long-time members know my face, and everyone knows my questionable fashion sense.
