Core Fitness is unique in so many ways. It's conveniently located in Berry Hill, not a far drive from my house in West Nashville. Owned and run by one talented trainer, Dustin is by far one of the most efficient and humble PTs I have ever worked with. He is serious, passionate and educated. He holds a bachelors in Human Health and Performance, and his love of making people's lives better by diet and exercise is imperative to individual success. His sense of community is a breath of fresh air. Uniform corporate work outs are necessary at times, but Core Fitness Nashville teaches a lifestyle to follow outside of the gym. The owner has a Nutrition page on Facebook (Core Fitness Nutrition) where members are invited to post meals from their day for group accountability. To be honest it's the most involved and elite group of members at a private gym I've experienced. I have so much fun being involved in this gym and I only work out privately at this time. I would highly recommend Core Fitness Nashville to anyone who is serious about living a longer, healthier lifestyle. An educated trainer is necessary for someone with expectations involving real answers and the science, study and experience to back them up. read more

Fitness at its best! I am a determined and disciplined person when it comes to health and fitness, but let me tell you...having the right place to train and the right coach/trainer is a HUGE part of my success. Dustin Del Rio is always there - with his happy, smiling face on. He is encouraging and motivating and positive. He knows when to push us to the next level. He recognizes potential. He learns what our goals are and then he comes along beside us to map out a plan for us to achieve those goals. He studies a lot about what it takes to help make us successful. I appreciate the time he takes (outside of class) to prep for us and think about new ways for us to succeed. I had no idea what I was getting into when I visited Core Fitness Nashville 15 months ago. I was just looking for a good place to workout. What I found was so much more than that. I have a wonderful, supportive set of friends there who encourage the healthy, active lifestyle I have chosen. I am blessed by the sweet friends I have met there - along with the great workouts and the BEST, most awesome coach/trainer in Nashville! read more

I have spent many years doing this fitness/get healthy thing, and have found positives in most of the gyms/workout facilities I have visited, but I feel like I have found my spot at Core Fitness. Dustin is hands on, making sure we focus on form, pushing us to the next level, providing nutritional coaching, and always comes with a great attitude! I am not the easiest to train nor am I in nearly the best shape I could be, but the atmosphere is always fun and challenging, and the crew he has working out there is so supportive and while you may think going to a gym or workout spot can be intimidating, Core Fitness and the people there welcome you regardless of your physical or nutritional levels. If you are looking for a healthy and successful way to make changes in your life, check this spot out! You will not be disappointed. read more

I will be honest, I did not begin my workouts with Dustin very enthusiastically. However, it was time to get back in shape and feel better, stronger. After just a few short months, I really began looking forward to my workouts, missing them even, on days I can't be there. Dustin really knows how to help you get 100% out of every session - not by yelling at you with a no-pain-no-gain attititude, but by encouraging you in a positive and energetic way. The workouts are awesome and I am definitely the strongest I have ever been. The atmostphere is not like any other gym - it is personalized, encouraging, energetic, positive, and upbeat! I highly recommend Dustin and Core Fitness Nashville to everyone! read more

There aren't many things I get up at 5am for. Dustin and his workout at Core Fitness is one of them. I have belonged to many gyms and have worked with many trainers.. and I am really happy I have found a home at Core. Dustin's workouts are fast paced and show results. I have seen my strength increase over the past two months. He pushes you, but is encouraging at the same time. There is zero intimidation at this gym. I also really like the other people who train there. The small groups (usually seven people or less) are always full of friendly people who I consider my friends. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for training that works. read more

I resisted when my friends first told me about Core Fitness, but that was a mistake. I've never been fitter than I am now, and I've never been happier about the process of getting fit. The workouts are always challenging, but they're great for all experience levels, and there's nothing intimidating about them. I'm happy about dropping some pounds and fitting into clothes I haven't been able to wear in awhile, but the #1 success of this program for me is that I just feel better and I now enjoy working out. I'd highly recommend Core Fitness Nashville and Dustin Del Rio to anyone who wants to get fit and feel good. read more

I love the concept of core and circuit training and both of these apply in this class. The Trainer is punctual, inspiring, encouraging, persistent, and motivating in the sessions and growing us to reach our full potential. He is also always stretching us to do more and be better, and what's more he does it in a way that it's respectful to who we are individually. Always a great workout and I leave knowing I've worked out every aspect of my body both in burning as well as toning and muscle development. Love it! read more
