Hello&Welcome

Hello there, parents and fitness enthusiasts! 👋 I'm Tina Pese, and I'm honored to introduce myself as the driving force behind Core Mentality. With 18 years of experience in the world of fitness, I've had the privilege of helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds unlock their full potential. Allow me to share a bit about myself and the incredible fitness journey we're about to embark on together.

Passion for Impact: My journey began with a profound passion for movement, and it didn't take long for me to realize that I found great fulfillment through physical training. I've had the privilege of working with both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, with a deep commitment to uplifting communities through health and wellness.

Community-Centric Approach: As a true believer in the power of community, I started my fitness journey by training a group of dedicated individuals through my church. This experience opened my eyes to the transformational potential of fitness in bringing people together, fostering unity, and creating lasting change.

Athlete at Heart: Having played high school and college basketball, I understand the value of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. These principles have guided me in not only my personal journey but also in coaching young athletes in the art of basketball and fitness.

Partnerships that Make a Difference: For three impactful years, I partnered with the incredible nonprofit organization, Success in Challenges LBC, to bring accessible circuit training to the heart of our city. Together, we empower individuals to conquer challenges and achieve their fitness goals.

Studio Oasis: Today, I'm thrilled to share that I have a dedicated fitness studio right in the heart of Lakewood, CA. This cozy and welcoming space is where athletes of all ages and backgrounds come together to train, grow, and transform their lives. We also have a partnered facility location in Long Beach, CA.

Training Young and Forever Athletes: Whether you're a young aspiring athlete or someone who believes that age is just a number, my mission is to guide you toward your fitness goals. Together, we'll build strength, boost confidence, and achieve a level of fitness you never thought possible.

Join Me on this Journey: I'm not just a coach but your companion on this incredible fitness journey. Together, we'll break barriers, set new records, and create a healthier, happier version of ourselves.
