About Salt & Core

Salt & Core is a fitness service born on the shore in Atlantic County, NJ. These services were designed to create workouts that feel purposeful, empowering and sustainable. Our programs focus on building real strength, and feeling confident in your body.

Salt & Core was created for people who value connection, consistency, and movement that supports their lifestyle - whether that's in the studio, outdoors or at home.

Head Coach, Ann Gbayee, is a certified personal trainer and mat Pilates instructor. Her background in strength training, group fitness and deep respect for Pilates led her to create Salt & Core, a space where both disciplines meet. Her training approach focuses on proper form, core stability and functional strength training. Her purpose in this industry is to help clients feel strong, capable, and grounded in their bodies.
