surprising back injury recovery

by AEC

I have been an athlete all my life from tennis pro circuit at the age of fifteen, to mountain biking, and intense horse back riding, where I have done some stunt work. In 2005 I injured my lower back in a shooting, and ever since I have suffered chronic back pain and stiffness due to the counter response from my body to avoid further injuring. About two months ago I discover Kor and start training with Christine Hazelton understanding that in the last 4 yrs. I have to assist to therapy at he chiropractor at least three times a month; I was never able to rebound to my fitness level. Christine has been training me and I have started to ride horses again and to regain flexibility, strength, balance and physical condition. I am extremely please with the service and grateful to be able to start living a life without back chronic pain. not to mention how many voice mails I have from my chiropractor....

• Pros: Best Personal Training in town
• Cons: don't be scare of the psychic next door-

highly personalized workout experience...

by yohjibear

...is what i was looking for, and it is definitely what i found and continue to have at this GEM of a gym. Extremely knowledgeable owner Christine Hazelton and her team of trainers will custom tailor a workout suitable to your needs and WILL get you to your goal. The environment, with its immaculate surroundings and friendly staff, provides the ideal atmosphere. Been to more than several gyms here in LA and NY, definitely the BEST bar none. Be sure and to say hello to Einstein, the mascot dog who really owns the place. LOVE THIS GYM!!!!

Best Little Gym in the West!

by stublu

Here's why I'm a huge fan of Kor: I love the space (it's small, hyper-functional, and really welcoming); I love the philosophy of the gym, and I love the people, especially my trainer Chris (also the owner) who I've trained with or over a decade and think is simply the best at what she does. Unlike most gyms where I feel my stress level rise as soon as i enter them (either from the overwhelming house music or the attitudinal gym staff), Kor actually makes you want to step inside. It feels like a gym sanctuary, which is a pretty neat feat.
