One more week. ❤️

This week always feels so OFF. Summer isn’t quite over, school hasn’t quite started, and routines are pretty much nonexistent.

And personally — I’m holding on for dear life a little bit.

I swear I looked at my kids this week, and all of a sudden they just look… bigger. Older. Different somehow. And I’m sitting here wondering how another summer slipped by so quickly.

So I’m looking in their eyes a little longer. Letting the conversations before bed go a little later. Talking about how they’re feeling about the next few days. Reminiscing about our summer and all the little things we did that I hope they remember.

And maybe that’s why I’m not coming on here today to tell you it’s time to “get back on track.”

If your workouts were inconsistent this summer — it’s okay. If your routine went completely out the window — it’s okay.

Enjoy these last few days.

Take the walk. Get outside. Move your body when you can. But also sit a little longer. Listen to the story. Soak them in.

The routine will come back.

And when the kids go back and you’re ready to find yours again — I’ll be here. ❤️

Most people are still asleep..

But inside this studio, a handful of women already decided they are going to start their day strong!

They don’t come because morning are easy, or they love the sound of their alarms. ☀️

They come because life gets busy - and this is the one hour that’s theirs!

I call them ☀️ Sunrise Warriors ☀️

By 6 & 7am - their workouts are done, they’re energized, and the rest of the day is theirs!

Want to join us??

I offer 5:15 & 6:15am Small Group Personal Training Classes for WOMEN ONLY

There is a difference between GROUP EXERCISE & SMALL GROUP PERSONAL TRAINING.

In Small Group - I know my clients and their injuries. My class is small enough that I can help someone along the way. They get the care and attention they need.

In my app - I know exactly WHO is coming to class - and I can plan accordingly.

A group exercise instructor teaches the best class he/she can - to 30/40 people - does not have the time to stop and correct, may not even know your name or your injuries.

Sometimes clients just need to be somewhere that’s not their house

Sometimes they need to vent

….lift heavy $HiT

and….Exercise the “ick” out

Sometimes they need to be around people who get it

And not those who wear sports bras to class and are a size 2

Those girls don’t come here

My girl are the one that don’t usually like the gym

They want a space to be themselves

To not feel intimidated if they feel bloated

Or embarrassed if their knees just don’t seem to cooperate

Some need a place to heal

Whatever you need…

We’ve got you at Core and Soul Fitness

So excited for so many new followers!

Hi 👋🏼 I figured it was time to re-introduce myself…

I’m Bernadette — but you’ll probably hear B, Bern… maybe even Burns 😄 (but never Bernie).

I’m someone who genuinely loves to move. Rock climbing, kayaking, jiu jitsu, yoga, strength training… if it involves using my body, I’m in.

I have a degree in Exercise Physiology from William Paterson, and I’ve pretty much seen every side of the fitness world — commercial gyms, corporate settings, physical therapy centers, nursing homes, working with athletes… you name it.

In October 2019, I made a big decision.
I left a full-time job that I loved — but it was also high stress, 100% commission, long hours, and a commute that kept me away from my kids more than I wanted.

So I chose different.

A few months later… COVID hit. And somehow, because I had already built a client base, I was able to pivot into virtual training before it became the norm.

And that’s really where Core and Soul was born.

I created Core and Soul for women who didn’t feel like they “fit” in typical gyms.
Women who might be dealing with injuries… or who have never worked out before… or just feel unsure walking into a fitness space.

Here’s the thing — we don’t do weight loss programs here.

We focus on getting strong so you can do life better.

That might mean:
✨ Having the stamina to walk all day on vacation
✨ Getting up off the floor with ease
✨ Doing yard work without being sore for days
✨ Climbing a ladder to hang Christmas lights
✨ Keeping up with your kids without feeling exhausted

This is real-life strength.

And beyond the workouts… this is a community.

You won’t walk in and just recognize faces.
You’ll know names. You’ll build friendships.
And if you miss a week — people will notice and check in.

Classes are small, all women, and held in a private residential studio in Swedesboro — so you never feel like just a number.

Everything is programmed so whether you come 1 day or 5 days a week, you’re always getting a purposeful, effective workout.

We offer early mornings, evenings, and even virtual options — because life is busy, and fitness should fit into it.

If haven’t tried your free week — head to the website, book your consult call, and let’s get you started 💛
