Core Connections

Core Connexions is a personal training service located in Shoreham-by-Sea, serving the areas of Lancing and the surrounding areas. It is owned and founded by Jo Samiotis, a specialised women's wellness and fitness personal trainer. With a passion for improving the physical health, mental health, and happiness of her clients, Jo takes pride in being part of the MHEC (Mental Health in Exercise) Revolution.

Core Connexions offers a range of specialised personal training programmes to cater to the unique needs of women. In the peri to postmenopausal stage, Jo provides training to help women become “perimenopause super women” by embracing their menopause transition through nutrition, training, and lifestyle adjustments. For new mothers, Core Connexions offers specialised postnatal personal training in the comfort of their own homes or outdoor spaces, eliminating the need for a crche. This programme focuses on restoring core strength, diastasis core restore, improving pelvic floor health, rebalancing posture, and promoting overall postnatal body healing.

In addition to in-person training, Core Connexions also offers online personal training sessions via platforms such as Zoom or Teams. This allows clients to fit their sessions into their workday and train from anywhere. For a more social fitness experience, Jo conducts outdoor fitness classes in Buckingham Park every Wednesday at 9 am. These classes include functional strength exercises aimed at improving bone health, muscle strength, fitness, mental health, and core strength.

The classes also address pelvic floor strength, providing the necessary support and guidance for women going through the menopause transition.

To accommodate busy schedules, Core Connexions offers Jo's Lunchtime Zoom Workout, a 30-minute strength session held every Tuesday at 1 pm and Friday at 12. 30 pm. These sessions focus on improving bone health, muscle strength, heart health, and mental health using dumbbells and resistance bands. Clients unable to attend the live sessions can access Jo's video library for recorded sessions to follow along at their convenience.

For clients preferring the convenience of training in their own homes or outdoor spaces, Core Connexions offers mobile personal training services. This allows clients to receive specialised training for their peri to postmenopausal female bodies within the comfort of their own surroundings.

At Core Connexions, Jo emphasises the importance of everyday movements beyond exercise. Clients are encouraged to bend, pull, push, squat, shift, tilt, jump, lunge, bounce, rotate, balance, twist, get down, get up, and walk to maintain their functional abilities. Jo believes that keeping it simple and consistent is the key to achieving results, and that's where her expertise as a personal trainer comes in.
