A lot of people crucified Core Fitness thinking that our 20-minute version of a workout was for everybody. As per what Mark has stated earlier, our 20-minutes were meant to cater to those who a) don’t have time for high-volume conventional training, b) new to the world of health and fitness, c) are the center of mockery and scrutiny because they’re too fat and d) hate to pursue health and fitness, but need to lose some weight due to health and Sharm Al Shaikh reasons.
To shed some light on our 20-minute workouts, we are merely a single idea in the fitness industry. We don’t defy ourselves as the be-all and end-all of exercise; we represent a technique that combines both convenience and intensity in one package. One big huge gargantuan awesome incredible package.
Gradual Transition
Back in January when Mark signed up with Core Fitness, I honestly thought the dude was a hopeless case. He looked motivated, but acted kind of lazy. Mark wanted to get in and out and just live life outside of the gym. Gradually, he kept on coming for more and asking for harder diet plans. He even low-carbed his meals without inquiring with me, and refrained from cheating for over a month (which is something I wouldn’t even think of doing).
I remember the day he sluggishly walked into my office. Last Thursday, the dude walked in with his shoulders back and his chest high, ready for what’s next. I presented him with the idea of signing up for 60-minutes. What shocked me the most is his prompt reply; I even had a list of come backs in order to negotiate him into 60-minutes. Conclusively, Mark now dedicates 5 days of his week to gym and MMA work; he has officially caught the fitness-bug.
By Popular Demand
In order to cope with the “high volume” and the “we-have-more-than-20-minutes-to-spare” fitness crowd, we at Core Fitness developed a training technique roughly 3 times as intense as our initial 20 minutes, but with 40 more minutes of pain and agony. Keep in mind that we would like our clients to stick to the 20 minutes, so expect 1-hour training to be our way of saying “Today, we will give you 60 reasons why you should stick to 20 minutes. FUL.”
Offering Healthy Lifestyles Since 2008
Does anyone remember the last time Mark posted a burger review? Go ahead and look back at his posts. Taco Bell was a total bust, but they do have a semi-healthy menu. The Abercrombie and Fitch post was LOLingly homorific, but I’ll give him credit for finally setting a target. And what does every strict dieter do? Post about their next cheat meal.
It’s safe to say the fitness-bug he caught also effected his posts, including activity oriented articles and topics pertaining to how people can achieve a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing their current one (Michel Dines in Hell).
The point is, Core Fitness offers lifestyles and not just a means to an end. We at Core want you to be healthy, stay healthy and live healthy, since health and fitness is our business. We promote diversity with our clients by asking them to try out what the market has to offer, and only then can they differentiate a Core Fitness workout from a conventional one. The point is we do lose clients like any other business, but we rarely fail to permanently stamp them with healthier lifestyles.
All top-notch health clubs and gyms in Kuwait already have 60-minute personal training services far before Core existed, but how many of them offer you individualized lifestyles and a training technique?
Training Services
Mark’s currently enrolled in Muscle Building, since he earlier decided to dedicate 30-minutes of post-workout treadmill cardio work to his already activity-infested routine. Mark and cardio don’t mix at all, and I couldn’t convince him to do 10 minutes (I swear to God). Those 30-minutes were his idea.
For the 60-minute personal training workout, we offer 4 training categories specified below:
– Muscle Building
– Fitness Boxing
– Fat Loss
– Sports Performance
20-Minutes is still our Bread & Butter
For those of you contemplating on signing up, I’d advise you begin with at least one 20-minute workout membership to get the feel of the technique. The intensity of our 60-minute workouts are no joke and require a certain level of physical fitness experience. We designed it to transition our current 20-minute clients who have already been through the short torture.
Follow Mark’s foot steps and gradually increase workout intensity and meal planning. You’ll look good, feel good and hopefully live longer assuming a bus doesn’t run into you anytime soon.

Wheres your gym located?
AlSubah: Bnaid Al Gar, Al Ta’meer Complex, Tower 2, Ground Floor.
Hi did you open another branch yet?
Abdullah: Unfortunately not.
When are you going to be opening the women’s section?
Should I join a gym or wait??
I’ve been a member for two years with Core Fitness and the results you get are awesome!!!
But, lately the service you get from the receptionist as far as timings and really fitting it in your schedule lacked the momentum that those guys had when they started.
Ex: now if you need a certain time, you really have to call everyday and follow-up with the guys and push them to find something.
Yesterday i read the banner in the GYM about the new 1 Hr sessions, i was psyched, went directly downstairs to the receptionist and asked him, can i switch from the 20 Mins workout to the 1 hrs one, i asked him i want to be a member for 6 month 4 times a week! just calculate the difference and let me know.
as usual no one called and i had to call and check and the answer is, well you have a choice of canceling your 20Min membership and losing whats left and paying the whole thing or wait till the 20 min membership finishes. which really does not make any sense.
you can easily calculate home many 20 mins sessions i have left and minus the hrs from my new membership.
not only that but at the beging we had sms service which reminded you of your appointments and now its gone.
im not criticizing Core Fitness but i care allot cause this is one of the best fitness clubs in kuwait.
Miyafushi: Hopefully early 2011. I can’t give out specifics just yet.
Mishal: Appreciate your support and kind words 🙂 very inspiring words to say the least!
We’ll make sure the receptionist follows-up in a timely manner. The SMS service was due to a problem with the company we’re outsourcing. I personally looked it over, and it’ll be up and running by tomorrow morning.
The transition between 20 minutes to 60 minutes was strictly my fault and not the receptionist. He wasn’t informed of any transitional procedures up until today.
Again, I appreciate your kind words and constructive criticism 🙂
Fahad, what are the transition procedures from the 20mins memberships to the 60mins memberships?
Mishal: you have to complete your 20 minute membership then apply for a 60-minute workout.
Way to go Mark! when you have the will to do something you can do it! Ever since i started living a healthy lifestyle like by going to the gym regularly and eating healthy food i just couldn’t stand fast food or anything fattening. I didn’t even crave it…
can someone give directions to the location? as in coming down from Gulf Street or Istiqlal street?
thanks.
Muzz: Do you know where Fuddruckers used to be on the Gulf Road? If yes then it’s across the street from there next to Safir Hotel.
If you don’t know then if you’re on the Gulf Road heading towards Kuwait City from Salmiya. Once you pass KFC on your right take your left lane and then the first u-turn that comes up. Once you take the u-turn take your first right that comes up quickly, drive towards the intersection and then take a left. Head straight till the end of that road, it’s the last building on the left before the parking gate.
How much is the fee per month ?
core fitness is the place to get fit
