the boss babe

emily allen, owner & certified instructor
a native of memphis, emily is pleased to consider the capital city home and infuses her own blend of unique + chic southern hospitality into her studio. “i consider core concept studio more than just clients and fitness – it’s a community of friends and fellowship with a shared philosophy of well-being.” she credits her determination and tenacity to exceed expectations to her parents who owned a small hardware business in memphis for more than 30 years. “watching my parents with customers helped me understand that good business is more than simply service – it’s about people and relationships.” she cultivates a fitness community that’s “a perfect combination of grace and grit – we work hard, have fun and feel better than expected!”
fun fact: emily has 4 chihuahuas and is pictured here with her recent rescue pup, hugo
