Our Story
Driven by Passion, Built for Every Body
From Kuwait to Fayetteville
The Core Ambitions story begins overseas, where Janice Corbin was building a career in fitness while living in Kuwait. It was there that she met her husband, and together they began dreaming of something bigger — a fitness studio of their own.
After getting married and making the move to the United States, Janice and her husband set their sights on Fayetteville, NC. With decades of fitness experience, a deep passion for helping others, and a clear vision for what a truly inclusive studio could be, Core Ambitions was born.
What started as a shared dream has grown into a thriving fitness community — a place where people of all backgrounds, abilities, and fitness levels come together to move, grow, and support one another.
