Hi, I’m Marta — founder of CORE

1. WHO I AM AND WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH — THE ORIGINS OF CORE:

​​

I’ve spent years in the fitness and wellness world, but I’ve also lived the reality most people don’t talk about — inconsistency in real life.

Not the “I don’t know what to do” kind. The “I know what to do, I just can’t keep doing it when life gets messy” kind.
 

I’ve dealt with:

• Falling off routines every time I travelled

• Gut issues, eczema flare-ups, inflammation

• Burnout from trying to do everything at once

• Starting and stopping fitness (running included) more times than I can count

• Gaining and losing weight and being unhappy with the way I look

• Being strict, but never consistent — trying to fix things with discipline instead of structure

• Feeling “healthy on paper” but completely off in real life

• Planning everything perfectly, but still feeling like I couldn’t hold it together

I’ve also rebuilt my entire life after moving across the world — while dealing with health issues, unpredictable schedules, and constantly shifting routines.

​

So yes — I understand what it feels like when effort doesn’t translate into consistency.

2. WHAT I HAVE OVERCOME — AND HOW:

​

At some point, I stopped trying to fix myself with more motivation, discipline, or perfect routines. Instead, I started building systems. Simple structures that still work when life doesn’t. That shift changed everything.

​

I moved out of chronic inconsistency, constant restart cycles, and the frustration of doing “all the right things” but not seeing it stick.

​

Over time, I rebuilt my health, stabilised my gut and skin, returned to running and training consistently, and created a lifestyle that supports my energy instead of draining it.

​

Not through perfection — but through structure that adapts.

​

​​​​

3. WHAT I REALISED ALONG THE WAY:

​

• Consistency has nothing to do with motivation

• Routines have to bend with life, or they break

• Discipline without structure doesn’t last

• Your environment shapes most of your habits

• Health improves when habits match your identity

• Most people don’t need more information — they need a system they can actually live with

​

These weren’t ideas I learned from theory.

They came from trial, error, and rebuilding my own life over and over again.​​

4. WHAT CHANGED WHEN I CHANGED MY APPROACH:

​​

Here’s what changed when I stopped relying on motivation:

• I built daily and weekly systems that hold up even when I travel or change routines

• My gut health and skin flare-ups became manageable through consistency and lifestyle structure

• I rebuilt my running and fitness without restarting from scratch every few months

• I created a lifestyle that feels calmer, more stable, and more aligned with my energy

• I turned my own systems into tools like HABIT, FLORA, and CORE resources

• I developed frameworks that help simplify health, training, and habits in real life

• I stopped living in cycles of “start over” and built something sustainable instead​

• I turned planning, organisation, and structure into strengths that transformed my health and my business.

I didn’t become a different person.

I just stopped trying to force myself into systems that didn’t fit my life.

​5. WHAT CORE IS BUILT ON:

​​

• Building routines that actually fit real life

• Staying consistent through travel, stress, and change

• Simplifying training, food, and health instead of overcomplicating them

• Building habits that feel natural, not forced

• Improving sleep, stress, and recovery through structure

• Learning how to reset without starting over

• Creating a lifestyle that feels stable instead of reactive

This is not about perfection.

It’s about building something you can actually live with.

​​​

6. WHY I CHOSE THE NAME "CORE":

​​

CORE started from my own body.

​

A hyperextended spine that caused ongoing back issues, and later experiencing gut problems, made me focus deeply on how the body functions as a system, not separate parts.

​

Over time, what started as personal problem-solving turned into a much bigger framework around habits, movement, and lifestyle.

​

I kept the name CORE because it still represents what I believe:

Real health is built from the inside out — from structure, habits, and the foundation you build your life around.​
