Great instructor and great classes! I’ve been looking for somewhere that offers fitness classes since moving to Calhoun, and Fit from the core has been awesome!

I visited all the gyms in Calhoun and finally found Fit From the Core. I am out of shape but Dorian works with what I’ve got and makes it fun!🤩. “Just keep moving “. No judgement from anybody, just encouragement. Who knew getting your butt kicked could be fun! If you want to work really hard AND have fun, try Fit From The Core.

Don’t be nervous when you see the cowboy hats hung up all over the place…they are just representative of the down to earth atmosphere! Love the vibe here and am excited for this stage in my fitness journey!

I haven’t been the most active since I started having babies 5 years ago so I was very hesitant about starting. I can’t just walk into a gym and workout on my own. FFTC is exactly what I was looking for in a gym. I’m so glad I joined, everyone is so welcoming and the workouts are actually enjoyable.

I normally never hold myself accountable when I go to the gym but when I'm at Dorians gym I have to. I love that I am being pushed reasonably and I have seen progress. I love the group atmosphere and that we are all doing the same thing just different weights. I know that going here I will see the results I want to see and get stronger

I have loved going to FFTC! Dorian pushes you to do your best. He frequently checks on you throughout the workout to make sure form is correct. The atmosphere is fantastic

I have loved going to FFTC!! Not only does Dorian work with you individually, but he pushes you to do your best. He also works with your comfort level of each exercise, and he frequently checks on you throughout the workout to make sure form is correct. Everyone there is so welcoming, and the atmosphere is fantastic!

Not just a gym, but a life changing experience. Dorian doesn’t just coach fitness and health, he teaches accountability, perseverance and determination. Glad to be back after my first kiddo! 💪🏻✨

I’ve never been one to look forward to a workout, but FFTC has been a game changer! I love the friendly atmosphere, & the workouts kick my butt (in the best way). Not only does Dorian make me actually complete a workout, but he takes the time to make sure my form is always right too! I already feel so much stronger within just a month of going.

Going into this place I was super nervous but came to love every minute of being there! From walking into the place with Jesus music on, feeling the presence of God to working out, sweating and feeling better about myself! Any of it is all good and such a blessing to be at and around! Dorian is an awesome person and an even better trainer! His ability to help people when they are bettering their self is a true gift! So thankful I found this gym! Another great thing is that this gym is baby/child friendly! No need to worry about finding a babysitter! Just bring them with you!

For the first time in my life, I’m excited about fitness. FFTC is an absolute game changer.Not having to think about what workouts you are going to do? It’s the best.Other honorable mentions:You just have to show up.I love the camaraderie that comes with pushing through a difficult workout together.Dorian is awesome about giving modifications if you need it.There are so many class schedule options.Also, you’ll find a community and will laugh. It’s so good for the soul.(And another thing: to the moms who bring their babies to workout: you are my heroes. And thank you for the serotonin boost.)
Ryan Ramos

I recommend you go for a done for you fitness program that requires you to only show up and train hard to be successful! They provide all the workout routines, all the equipment, and all the workout instructions and techniques. Also Dorian is a sick DJ and has rad jams while you’re working out!

Dorian is an amazing trainer!!! I love how Dorian plans out different exercises to work different parts of your body each day. The workouts are intense but you defiantly leave knowing you got a good workout! I also, love the music and atmosphere. Its awesome knowing I can bring my kiddos if needed to so I don't back track. I'm so glad my sis dragged me here.

Dorian is an amazing trainer, he gives you modifications where you need them and pushes you when you need it as well. I have been searching for a place like this since I moved here. I’m so glad I tried it and finally feel like I’m going in the right direction on my fitness journey.

Went to my first two classes! Loved the atmosphere, and everyone makes you feel very welcomed . My first day was leg day and felt the pain the next day which I loved! No pain no gain ! Can’t wait to go back 😊

FFTC has some of the best variety of classes with multiple hours to choose from. This gym has one of the best atmospheres around with some of the nicest people. These classes will challenge you to the core but will make you want to come back for more!

My first class at FFTC was 1/2/24 after returning from being in Texas for 3yrs.So worth the wait! FFTC has many class times to choose from and each workout has been above and beyond fabulous! I’m going on 14yrs in the fitness lifestyle and FFTC meets and exceeds! Looking forward to all adventures ahead with FFTC!

If you’re looking for a place that is going to motivate you to keep going, this is the place. I can’t do workouts on my own; I love that it is classes that show you what to do.

I've been following FFTC for a few years now on social media, but it wasn't until a month ago that I finally decided that it was time to go. I was scared and had bad anxiety about going to the gym, but FFTC is different. I dont feel judged and everyone is very nice. All you have to do is show up. Dorian keeps me laughing and makes working out miserable (in a good way) and enjoyable. 😄 ❤️

Started my second week with FFTC, amazing trainer, music, workout, and all around a great experience! Getting back into working out again and getting out of my comfort zone was a little tough but I knew if I continued down the path I was going it would be tougher. First few days were hard, had issues getting out of bed due to the soreness, if you saw me walking funny mind ya business😅 So glad I chose FFTC and excited to continue this new journey! If you have thought about checking out a class, DO IT. One hour of your day, your body deserves it!

Great locally owned gym! Several times to choose from each week day and serial plans to choose from. Great workouts that can push you to be better than you were yesterday. 💪🏻

If you’re wanting a comfortable gym setting and family feeling environment this is the place for you! if you don’t really have an idea of what to start in a gym, they have everything already planned for your workout!!

My experience has not disappointed. Consistent positive energy, awesome music, and quality vibes for workouts. Trainer pushes to get the most out of the sessions! Leave every time knowing I completed high level fitness.

I have been going to FFTC for about a month now, and I already see changes in my body! I'm building strength, muscle, and endurance, and I feel great! Dorian is such a great coach. He has a positive and goofy personality, but he is also very knowledgeable about exercise and he knows how to motivate you to challenge yourself. The other members are super friendly and helpful, and the gym has a great atmosphere. I love it!
Morgan Redmond

I have had a blast working out here! The trainer is awesome! I think the best thing about it is that I can bring my kids. That has always held me back, but this place allows me to bring my kids and have them participate if they want to (in moderation 😂). Love it!
Britt Smith
23:49 05 Jun 23
Dorian is the epitome of “tough love”…he cares enough about each person to push them further than they think they can go. FFTC embodies the idea that the only one you’re competing against is yourself. Everyone is so nice and supportive of each other and the “fit fam” is more than just a trendy saying, it really does feel like family (the good kind). Wish I had started sooner!
Kyle Smith
23:42 05 Jun 23
I came. I saw. I (got) conquered. It took me one trial class to realize I need FFTC in my life. It is refreshing to be back in a gym and I couldn’t think of a better place to help me reach my goals! 2 thumbs up. 5 stars.

I have been reluctant to go to any type of workout classes for fear of being judged, but Fit from the Core has been nothing but a pleasant experience so far. Dorian and everyone attending the classes go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I love that he modifies the exercises depending on your ability level while still pushing you to step out of your comfort zone to attempt difficult skills. I am glad I finally made the decision to attend one of his classes... I highly recommend for anyone wanting a space to begin or extend their fitness journey!
Jordan Ralston
19:29 02 Jun 23
Y'all! I have never had my butt kicked in such a good way than with FFTC, and I can't wait to go back! Each class is intense and Dorian definitely doesn't let you settle for less than your personal best. I usually feel intimidated at the gym but not at FFTC. I felt welcomed and encouraged from day one. I definitely recommend FFTC.
Carolina Morgan

I wanted to try something new from the workout routine I had at the gym. These workouts are awesome and push you if you give it 100%!! Everyone is so kind and welcoming and I have yet to feel judged- everyone is there to work on themselves. The workouts are versatile for all size, shapes, and ages. I LOVE it!
Betsy Manley
16:22 04 Apr 23
If you're looking for a great environment to get stronger with a trainer who pushes you but won't let you hurt yourself and gym buddies who cheer you on and don't compete with you - this is the spot. The gym is big enough to get big group energy but small enough that the trainer can get to everyone and give modifications, form correction, and encouragement as needed.
Amber Dendy
14:58 23 Mar 23
I have seen so many people with amazing results from FFTC. I wanted to try it out because I am ready to have my own amazing results. It’s an awesome atmosphere with amazing people. I only dislike Dorian during Wall sits 🤣 10/10 recommend!

I have recently joined this gym and it has been a great experience. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The workouts are challenging and Dorian will push me to where I need to go but also provide the help when it’s needed. I look forward to going each day!

After seeing so many transformations and people crushing their goals, I decided to try FFTC. After trying a class, I decided to join. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat and welcoming. They care not only about your personal growth but also investing into their community. If you are hesitant about trying something new or working out in front of people, give it a try! You won't regret it.

Love the classes! I don’t do well just going to the gym and working out so when I found this and he had a 12 o clock it was perfect! So happy I picked them to get me in shape! No looking back now. ☺️ My second day was leg day and I’m not kidding saying I couldn’t walk for 3 days! You want a workout this is the place!
Terri Dove

Glad to have something like this in Calhoun. Fun and focused and motivating! Regular gym membership was not working for me. I needed direction and encouragement and looks like I found it here. Definitely feeling the effects of a great workout! Excited to join and get back in shape.

Fit From the Core is awesome! It truly is the best place to get in shape or even just move a little. All ages are welcomed and all ranges of athletic ability are welcomed as well. You can go at your own pace, but it is the best environment to push yourself and have a great time while working out. Dorian the trainer will push you, encourage you, and cheer for you. His wife who pops in often is precious as well. Organized workouts have always been the best for me personally because it keeps me accountable and the workout is made by a trainer who knows how to target muscles etc. I've never been truly excited to go workout until I found my FFTC family. If you want a place to go there is no better choice than Fit from the Core.

Best gym I have ever been to! I am not someone who has ever really enjoyed working out or had the motivation until I joined FFTC. They care about your success. I always feel great knowing I’ll have someone showing me exactly how to work out and that I’ll be in a family atmosphere.
Rebecca Payne
01:25 02 Jun 22
I normally get a little nervous at a gym because I am not educated enough in how everything works. From day one it felt like home. And Dorian was very helpful in teaching me form and exercises. It feels like I accomplish something with each class I attend! Thank you guys!
Madison RILEY
16:36 11 May 22
I have attended via zoom, I am out of state and own a nutrition shop. It’s perfect for me to go outside get some fresh air and join the workout class! It’s been amazing, so thankful to have found a workout class that I can attend or even if I can’t get on I have the classes to do later during the day!

This place is unlike any other!! I don’t know of anywhere else I’d prefer to pay someone to torture me into making the best version of myself! Dorian isn’t just a trainer, he is a great friend, motivator, and competitor. He pushes you past what you think your best is to help you be better! I love every minute I get to spend at FFTC!-Ashley

Dorian has created something truly special at Fit From The Core - I highly recommend for all ages, fitness level, in person, or on zoom. He is knowledgeable and will push you beyond any limits you think your body has… and is always watching to make sure your form is correct and engaging the correct muscles. Not only will you gain a great trainer, you will gain an amazing gym family. Walking into a full class of people where you don’t know anyone can be intimidating but everyone makes you feel welcome from the second you walk in the door and are so encouraging from start to finish! If you are hesitant or thinking about it, just go! You won’t regret… and you’re likely to get hooked like I did after just one class! The changes I’ve experienced after just 30 days are crazy… And I can’t wait to see where more time and consistency at Fit From the Core will get me!

I love FFTC! A friend of mine told me about it and convinced me to go. I have never felt more comfortable in an environment like this! Dorian pushes you to keep going and keeps you motivated. I love the classes during the week. Everyday is a different workout so not a day is boring or the same. I have been trying to find a gym with classes and an environment like this. Highly recommend!!!!

Fit From The Core is definitely the go to place! I came from going to a gym and not seeing results, feeling defeated. Then, I fell in LOVE with this place after just two sessions! The music, atmosphere, and training is the best by far! After just one day I brought a friend and we will be canceling our gym memberships to come here from now on!

I LOVE Fit From The Core! Dorian creates a comfortable atmosphere and makes getting your butt kicked FUN! He is knowledgeable and engaged with his clients during every session - he expects 110% and has pushed me to limits I didn’t know my body had! On top of that, the other members are very welcoming and encouraging. I was hooked from the moment I walked in the door on my first day, SO I no longer have to spend an hour trying to construct my own workouts - I have found my new workout home!Ps. Dorian cares about his clients - My bicep wasn’t working today and he took the time to gun it out, check on it throughout, and offered accommodations so I was still able to get the same out of the workout!!100/10!!

I’ve only been here a short time, but it’s the best gym experience I’ve had. Aside from the dad jokes, Dorian is an excellent leader and trainer who truly care about the people, pushes us, yet encourages us. It’s fun and challenging. Can’t wait to see the progress over time. Amazing gym!
Cindy Ingram

I recently started Fit From The Core and was extremely nervous about what I would physically be getting myself into and the the overall experience in general. Within the first couple classes I felt like it was more than just a gym, but a family. Everybody is super inviting and welcoming and pushes each other to help create an awesome work out environment. I would highly recommend Dorian and his gym. If you’re like me, you may hate it while you’re doing it, but you go there and leave there feeling your absolute best!
