Mind Core Fitness

Congrats to Gemma Hay who finished the Level 2 core event last week on Core Buddy!

She’s been letting me track the whole thing and share it, week by week, in her own words. Four weeks, how she got on, how she felt and how’s she’s feeling now 💪🏻

The harder sessions, the better sleep, the bike ride with her boys she wouldn’t have felt confident enough for before. So thanks, Gemma, and well done.👏

Her full diary is Edition 03 of the Core Buddy Effect — link below alongside Ashley and Lyndsey stories too.💪🏻

30 Day Free Trial

Level 1 is open — anyone can start 💪🏻

This month’s group finished their level on Friday. They’re straight back into the next one on Monday, and there’s room alongside them for anyone who fancies starting at the beginning.

No leaderboard this time, no prizes. Just the sessions and accountability 🥊

Here’s what it actually is: a workout a day, Monday to Friday. Habits and steps tracked as you go. Optional personal challenges if you want a bit more, and the WhatsApp group for anyone who’d rather not do it on their own.

The five levels:

1️⃣ Core Foundations
2️⃣ Core Builder
3️⃣ Core Strong
4️⃣ Core Elite
5️⃣ Core Master

Everyone starts at Level 1 — no experience needed. Finish all 20 sessions and Level 2 opens. You can’t skip ahead, and that’s the point. Each level is built on the one before it, so by the time you get to the next one you’re ready for it.
