Core CrossFit

Focus of this program is not to just last 6 weeks. The 6-weeks are to get you started on your personal health and wellness journey and build a base of strength and movement awareness. The focus will be on the power lifts. Squat/Bench/Deadlift complimented with body building accessory work. On top of the fitness component we will have a nutrition piece. This is key for seeing results.

We’ve got exciting news to share!

The end of December 2022 marks 14 years since I opened Core CrossFit in Downtown Phoenix. My team and I were very proud to be one of the first CrossFit Affiliate gyms in Arizona. A lot has changed since we held our first group CrossFit class January 1, 2009. Over the years we’ve proudly served up the “CrossFit Kool-Aid” to thousands of Phoenix residents. We’ve held fast to our mission - to encourage and embrace a diverse community; serve the fitness needs of “all people;” help our members achieve their personal fitness, health, and wellness goals in a safe and non-judgmental environment; and always “give back” to our local community. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished and excited for the future!

On January 1, 2023, Core Collective Fitness aka Core CrossFit will have a new owner! Head Coach, Fredo Lopez, will take over the reins and leadership of the business. Fredo and I have worked together for TEN YEARS. I have complete confidence in his abilities to continue our good work.

Fredo has a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Wellness from ASU and a Masters in Rehabilitative Science. He holds CrossFit Level 1, CrossFit Level 2, and CrossFit Aerobic Capacity Trainer Certificates. He is a USAW Sports Performance Coach. Fredo has been coaching CrossFit, strength, and conditioning for more than eleven years. It’s his passion and, according to Fredo, his life work!

I will continue to operate The Fitness HUB in the Central Arts Plaza BMO Tower building and will keep the Fit Phoenix and Longevity Life Zone brands. Moving forward, I will facilitate our LLZ 40+ program from The Fitness HUB.

I am thankful for the many years of support from the Downtown Phoenix community. Fredo is looking forward to stepping in and getting to know all of you in his new role as a small business owner.

Best wishes Fredo!

- Kim Flores, Owner/Operator

Bring your water and a good attitude and we will take care of the rest. Come sign up for a free trial to any of our programs today!

What’s your inner voice telling you?


Is it telling you to stop or to keep going? Most of the time it’s feeding our brain with negative thoughts (just stop, you’re not good enough, you’re too tired, this isn’t for you).


The moment you learn to be aware of those negative thoughts and that you control the final outcome is moment your life changes for the better.


You can’t cheat the grind and you definitely won’t be rewarded for anything you didn’t bust your ass for. Put your head down and work and when the moment is right you will shine with opportunity.

Women empowering women!

When making a change it’s easy to just go all or anything. The problem with this is that it leads to quick burn out, injury, are just coming short of your goal whether it’s nutrition, fitness or simply life related.


Create one healthy habit now and then do it again tomorrow and the next day. We talk about consistency a lot and now it’s time to apply it. Once you become great at this one thing move on to the next.


Consistent change over time creates long lasting results.

Thirst trap Thursday!


It’s starting to get hot out there folks. Make sure you are staying hydrated well before even feeling thirsty. Drink at least your body weight in ounces.


💦💦💧

Y’all know what day it is! Weightlifting Wednesday.


Discipline, perseverance and consistency will give you the results you are looking for! Miss one and you will fall short of your goals!


See everyone later today!

It takes zero talent to show up, it takes zero talent to be kind, and it takes zero talent to be healthy. When you feel stuck just keep moving forward. It starts to become a lot more simple than you are making it.


Showing up everyday is good progress.

There’s a certain level of self love, appreciation and self-respect that comes with something that you have worked so hard to achieve. That extra level of commitment and hard work pays off. Don’t forget to treat yourself.!


If you earn it you’re more likely to keep it. Cutting corners will only show your weaknesses.! Do it for yourself and no one else!

Make everyday count! Find your community, find your coach, and find your fitness... if you’re having trouble and need a place to start come check us out! Everyday is an opportunity to better yourself!

I don’t know what looks better the full ROM on push-ups or the hair!!

Line em up! It’s weightlifting Wednesday’s. Pump the jams and throw down some weights. Perfect day to practice your technique.

Best day of the week because we get to see the best people today! The Monday sets the intention for the rest of your week start it off right! Happy squatting!

It’s hump day! Pushing through till the end of the week! Don’t forget to stay hydrated as the days start to warm up!

Warmer brighter days are ahead of us! Are you ready for summer!

Have a goal?


Are you addressing it or just waiting for it to happen.


Want to create change? Well start NOW!

Rest & sleep 😴 🛏.


Your mind & body need it and want it. A few ways to make sure you’re getting it:

- No tv/phone/blue light 30-60 mins before bed ✅
- Practice meditation ✅
- No caffeine/alcohol before bed ✅
- Journal
- Consistent sleep
- listen to a podcast, read a book


We all know we SHOULD sleep more, but realistically are we working on our sleep hygiene? It’s one of the few things we can adjust and contribute to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


No matter what, every week take a rest day - NO EXERCISE.


So many injuries could be avoided by following this simple rule and you will be much happier!

Commonly seen in people saying “I’m not where I am because of such and such reason or they just got lucky.”


Everything is a choice, from how you perceive things to how you choose to attack them.


Stop making the excuses, accept the things that life is throwing at you and start working on how you can improve those things one choice at a time. Take ownership of where you are and realize that you can change where you end up by simply making smart choices every day.

Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and embrace the moment.


Time to dig in. The process has led you to this moment in life. Just another step in the journey that you will get through!

Announcement Thursday!


Open workout 21.2 gets announced today. Any guesses? Maybe burpees come around?

Life happens to us from the minute we wake up. Your alarm clock sounds you get up and hit your toe on the wall, BOOM! You’re already pi**ed and now you drop your coffee and you are running late, that sets the mood and response for the rest of your day.


A reactive person lets life happen to to them. Reactive people let circumstances and conditions control their day.


A proactive person stubs their toe and realizes that they have the power to choose their response. Yeah, that s**t hurt but let’s proceed the day with calmness. You proceed to enjoy your coffee and have a great day.


You as a human being have a super power and that is the power to CHOOSE! It lets us take control of our lives and remove ourselves from that survival mode s**t that was ingrained in our head from day one!


Live a better life, make better choices. You owe it to yourself. And if you haven’t done so already checkout the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People!

Often times we think adding another program outside of the gym will increase our fitness and make us better. This might yield short term results but in the end could lead to over trainings and burnout.


Instead try managing your sleep, diet and stress levels. This will yield a much higher return on investment.


Don’t get me wrong adding skill practice and technique work is great just make sure you have a smart plan that goes along with and make sure you are not just pounding your body to the ground.

Westcoastin on a Wednesday!


Or weightlifting Wednesday. Today and every day we work on those Olympic lifts and goal is always the same better positions and improving technique over the load. Through time we combine the two!


See you all today!

Tuesday Turn Up


Success is never owned out given. You simply rent it.


You must pay your dues EVERYDAY in order to keep it.


You stop working for it you simply lose it.

Invest in your health. It’s the best decision you can make for yourself if you want to live longer. And who doesn’t want to live longer. This is something that you can’t just buy its something you commit to yourself for the rest of your life.


Every day you have a choice. To HONOR and take care of your BODY or ignore it and wishing you could do the stuff you want to do and have the body and confidence that you want. It’s YOUR choice and if you stop waiting for “tomorrow” you will start seeing your results NOW. Sitting around and WISHING for it isn’t going to make anything happen for you.


Join a community and family that will help you achieve and reach for the goals that you with support and love. This can be done alone but its easier and more fun when you gave a community of support. It's now more important than ever to break free from the mindset of I can’t do this or I am too stressed to add something else, start taking control of your life and owning where you are.


Experience all the positive physical, spiritual and mental health benefits that living a healthy lifestyle has to offer. You only get one body, so taking care of it is ESSENTIAL for a happy, healthy and long life. So why not start investing in the thing that can keep you happiest, healthiest, and alive?

Always writing up that good stuff.!

We talk about these a lot in classes but what do they mean. Both are needed..!!!


Active recovery days are great for days where you just don’t feel Ike pushing the intensity and going heavy but you still want to move! The movements will be determined based on the individual and their capacity. A 5k row may not be active recovery for someone who has never towed more than 2k.


A rest day is a must! It’s a day for you to do life. Relax go on a walk with your dog enjoy some good food etc.


If you want to perform better you will need both of these in your weeks.
