Personal Training & Manual Therapy
Combines targeted exercise with hands-on manual techniques to improve mobility, reduce pain, and correct structural imbalances. Our trainers assess posture, strength, and movement patterns to create customized programs that integrate corrective exercises and fascial work. This approach ensures long-term results by addressing root causes of discomfort while building functional strength and resilience.
Group Exercise Classes
Small-group sessions focused on fascial stretching, global postural alignment, and primal movements. Classes emphasize proper technique, progressive overload, and individualized modifications to accommodate all fitness levels. Participants benefit from peer motivation while receiving personalized guidance to enhance posture, mobility, and overall functional capacity through structured, osteopathy-inspired routines.
Online Training Programs
Self-paced or guided online programs delivering science-based workouts and manual therapy techniques. Access structured routines with video demonstrations, progress tracking, and expert support to build strength, improve posture, and alleviate pain from home. Programs include ELDOA, myofascial stretching, and global strengthening exercises tailored to individual needs.
Posture & Mobility Assessment
Comprehensive analysis of posture, flexibility, and movement mechanics to identify imbalances and limitations. Using osteopathic principles, we assess fascial chains, joint alignment, and muscular symmetry to develop targeted intervention plans. This foundational step ensures subsequent training addresses specific structural needs for optimal functional improvement.
Fascial Health Programs
Specialized programs focusing on fascial network health through ELDOA, myofascial stretching, and proprioceptive exercises. These techniques improve tissue elasticity, reduce adhesions, and enhance intercellular communication to restore mobility and prevent injury. Programs are integrated with strength training to create resilient, pain-free movement patterns.

SolCore Fitness Testimonial
Five years ago, I landed at the SolCore Fitness Center on the recommendation of a friend. I was suffering from a chronic knee injury that was very painful and unresponsive to treatment. I met with Ekemba and was introduced to ELDOA. It took a bit of persuasion since none of the previous modalities I tried gave me the result I expected. I agreed to give the training a try and moved forward with the assurance that with commitment and dedication I could attain a level of physical well-being unlike anything I experienced before. Within a month the knee pain diminished significantly

Ekemba is awesome. My wife and I are professional classical musicians who work year round in symphony orchestras. We have been training on our instruments for 4 - 6 hours a day for over 30 years, and the wear on our bodies is considerable. Ekemba met us with compassion and an understanding of what we needed to strengthen and align our bodies. When I first came to Solcore my right arm would dangle in theair when I would lie flat on the floor. It hadn't touchedthefloor in decades. I had tried everything to bring my shoulder back but nothing worked. After only six weeks of doing the ELDOA's

It's the most unusual personal training I have ever experienced. Despite pretty serious spinal stenosis, Ekemba is keeping me limber, strong, and out of surgery. Well worth the time and expense!

Six months ago, I came to Ekemba and SolCore Fitness after 30+ years of sitting slumped behind a computer. The downward spiral on my fitness has since turned around and my body feels great. I am learning to stand straight instead of hunched over. I participate in the group classes. The other participants are congenial. Since the classes are small, participants get lots of personal attention from Ekemba. The exercises are challenging, but I have never left feeling any pain. Ekemba has an exceptional understanding of the skeleton and the musculature which allows him to design a remarkable, unique

SolCore Fitness is unlike any exercise I've ever done. Stretching, strengthening, balance, core strength all at once in every movement. The results are amazing! Neck pain was gone within 30 days, rotator cuff fixed, and my improved posture is taking years off my being. Thank you!!
