About this episode
Corey Iglesias discusses his coaching philosophy and the impact of his Cuban heritage on his work in the fitness industry.
Episode overview In this FITLETE Radio Trainer Spotlight, Corey Iglesias, owner of CoreFitness RVA in Richmond, Virginia, shares how a decade in the industry and an Exercise Science degree from VCU shaped his coaching philosophy and his gym. Corey talks about being a first-generation American, why he’s proud of his family’s Cuban refugee roots, and how that background fuels his work ethic and approach to serving his community. From dealing with clients’ aches, pains, and competing goals to navigating social media misinformation, Corey shows how asking better questions and creating a clear roadmap turns confusion into long-term progress. He also breaks down how a former pen-and-paper guy fully embraced tech and systems to level up his coaching, client experience, and gym operations at CoreFitness RVA.
