Samantha, one of our master-tier trainers, is LEGIT. She blends her personal fitness journey with expertise across cardio, strength training, and kickboxing — making her a standout coach.

Having experienced a knee injury firsthand, she intimately understands the road to recovery. Wanting to get back to her routine, she did PRP here at Core and was back to doing what she loved, pain-free, in no time. If chronic knee pain is holding you back, healing + strengthening could be the answer — and Samantha might be the key.

We had a blast at the Redwood Mountain Fair! The Santa Cruz Core crew offered complimentary bodywork, connected with the community, and enjoyed amazing bands. Thanks to everyone who stopped by — we hope to see y'all next year!

Our advanced elite specialist, Beau, does Vasper every single day. Why? Because building muscle is one thing, and maintaining it is another. 💪

Vasper was developed by NASA to help astronauts maintain muscle mass in space without gravity. It integrates cooling, grounding, and compression to produce excess lactic acid, which signals the brain to produce HGH — the hormone that repairs muscle fibers.

This device may be the missing piece in your recovery. Come try it for 🆓 THREE times! Get the hormonal benefit of a 2 hour work out in just 20 minutes!

Book your sessions today! Stop by our Santa Cruz office at 317 Potrero Street to check it out, or give us a call at 831-425-9500.

Beau, one of the advanced elite specialists of Santa Cruz CORE, brings a unique skill set to our team with his certification in Hanson Muscle Therapy (HMT). This practice, innovated by his mentor Tobe Hanson, integrates acupressure and trigger point therapy to effectively alleviate joint, tissue, and muscle tension by working along the body's meridians. This distinctive approach sets Beau apart from other corrective exercise specialists. By releasing tension before muscle strengthening, he facilitates more efficient adaptation to new movement patterns. Every Thursday, Beau shares his expertise with our wellness staff, teaching them how to perform HMT. This enables us to assist our clients not only in building strength but also in achieving a pain-free lifestyle. It is truly an honor for Santa Cruz Core to have Beau leading this transformative training.

If you've seen Beau before, how did his implementation of HMT help you live a more comfortable lifestyle? If you're interested in learning more, contact us at 831-425-9500 to schedule a complimentary consultation!

At Santa Cruz Core Fitness + Rehab, Nia and Trista, two of our front desk team members, take advantage of their time off by getting in their steps. It's truly inspiring to see how everyone, whether part of the admin staff, the fitness team, or our wellness team, shares a strong dedication to health. 💪

Fun Fact: Walking 10,000 steps daily can enhance physical health by strengthening muscles, improving circulation, and supporting joint flexibility. It also encourages better sleep patterns and can reduce stress levels, contributing to not just physical health, but one's overall well-being.

Meet Beau 💪

As our Advanced Elite Specialist, Beau brings energy, intention, and next-level expertise to every single session. He doesn’t just train, he creates an atmosphere that’s motivating, welcoming, and fun.

Tyler first walked through our doors as a client with hip challenges, and his goal was to get back into surfing pain-free. Quickly, Tyler became part of the Core family, and watching relationships like this one grow is one of the best parts of what we do. Better yet, he just entered his first surf competition since being injured. We're rooting for you!

Personal training can be scary. The mind and body feel vulnerable, and it's a lot easier said than done. Here at Santa Cruz Core, we want fear to dissipate as soon as you walk through our doors. This is a space for progress, and it's above all, a space of trust and care.

Stop masking knee pain—start healing. Regenerative options like shockwave, prolotherapy, PRP, and stem-cell therapies target tissue repair instead of short-term fixes like cortisone shots, NSAIDs, R.I.C.E., or repeat surgery, which can increase reinjury risk.

Whether it's that sciatic nerve that's been bugging you for years, or you're gearing up for your next big race and want to improve performance...this is the guy for you!

Dr. Rhodes is not your traditional chiropractor. Adjustments? Yes! But he specializes in a form of trigger point therapy that we call HMT. This ensures that tension from the soft tissue is released before receiving an adjustment, allowing the muscles to absorb a new movement pattern.

Have health insurance? Send it over, we'll check your benefits! Wanting to just do cash deals? This is the perfect one! Give us a call at 831-425-9500, let's get you scheduled!
