A lifelong entrepreneur and dream chaser, Courtney is home on the Cape for the Summer. When she’s at Heart Core, expect her to lead a physical, emotional and mental workout set to a wide range of tunes during her Core Cycle classes. When she’s not at Heart Core, expect her at her desk or on the beach, working on her first novel and considering her next move.

Marc was born and raised on the Outer Cape where he had a very active upbringing: daily life in summer included swimming and surfing, and during winter breaks he and his family would head north to ski. Marc has been an outdoor enthusiast since an early age and he continued this trend of spending summers on Cape and winters in Vermont after graduating from high school. Weightlifting and devoting time at the gym were always a part of his life as he worked to improve his athletic performance. Seven years ago he moved back to Wellfleet on a year-round basis. Having accumulated some injuries from years of hard skiing, Marc began focusing on educating himself even more in fitness and using that knowledge to heal and advance as an instructor. For the last six years he has been sharing this aptitude with his clients at Heart Core through private instruction and teaching group classes like TRX and spinning.
