Welcome to CORE

The “Three E’s” of Effective Coaching:

CORE’s coaching philosophy is built on what call the “Three E’s” of effective coaching. It’s our commitment to these values that make us different.

ENGAGEMENT: CORE AND YOUR COACH ARE COMMITTED TO BEING THERE FOR YOU TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS WITH ENTHUSIASM, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND COMMUNICATION. THERE ARE NO DAYS OFF IN A COACHING RELATIONSHIP, AND NOTHING IS OFF-LIMITS IF IT IS GOING TO MAKE YOU BETTER. QUESTIONS AREN’T JUST ENCOURAGED - THEY’RE PART OF HOW WE DO THINGS.

EDUCATION: ONE OF CORE’S PRIMARY GOALS IS TO HELP ALL CLIENTS BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT WITH THEIR FITNESS AND NUTRITION. WE EDUCATE CLIENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. LEADING WITH THE “WHY” BEHIND EVERYTHING WE DO AND TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE BEHIND EVERY CHOICE WE MAKE IS THE STANDARD.

EMPATHY: AT THE CORE, WE CARE ABOUT OUR CLIENTS. NOT JUST THEIR FITNESS, BUT AS PEOPLE. WE WILL PUSH YOU, HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE, AND GUIDE YOU TOWARDS YOUR GOALS - IN A NON-INVASIVE WAY THAT DOESN’T DOMINATE YOUR LIFE.

CORE COACHING METHOD WAS FOUNDED BY DANNY MATRANGA.

DANNY FOUND FITNESS THROUGH SPORT AS A YOUTH. IT QUICKLY BECAME AN OBSESSION. THAT FASCINATION RAPIDLY SPREAD FROM THE PRACTICAL TO THE INTELLECTUAL. BEFORE HE KNEW IT, HE WAS LIFTING FOR HOURS A DAY AND READING THE LATEST MUSCLE AND FITNESS ARTICLES BETWEEN SETS.

OVER THE YEARS, THAT PROCESS BECAME MORE REFINED, AND AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, HE WENT TO COLLEGE TO PURSUE A DEGREE IN THE FIELD OF KINESIOLOGY.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSEWORK IN KINESIOLOGY WAS NOT ENOUGH STIMULATION FOR HIS INSATIABLE DESIRE TO LEARN ABOUT FITNESS, HEALTH, AND WELLNESS.

HE BEGAN COACHING IN 2013 WHILE STILL IN SCHOOL AND HAS NOT LOOKED BACK.

DANNY HAS HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH HUNDREDS OF CLIENTS AND TRAVELING THE COUNTRY LEARNING FROM THE BEST EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING, MOBILITY, NUTRITION, AND MORE - ALWAYS POLISHING AND REFINING MY CRAFT.

HIS DESIRE TO GROW, LEARN, AND DEVELOP IS AT THE CORE OF HIS AND CORE’S COACHING PHILOSOPHY AND THE DRIVING FORCE THAT KEEPS HIM ENERGIZED AND EXCITED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
