What is Cortex?
Cortex was formed with the sole mission to provide athletes of all abilities the opportunity to be the best version of themselves, both physically and mentally. The current narrative of social media and its training approach provides an unhealthy focus on what one looks like and what one can achieve. This often creates a level of isolation, overwhelming pressure to conform, self-sabotage and lack of self confidence in individuals seeking success and happiness.
At Cortex, we our passionate about empowering those around us. We believe and practice mentality enhanced fitness! The pursuit for athleticism and wellness should be a positive and enjoyable journey. Continuous development and self-actualisation are the fundamental aspects behind the ethos and values of Cortex. Our credibility stems from ensuring Cortex coaches and staff lead from the front and promote our core objectives. We are proud of the positive impact children and adults have experienced from our methodology and continuous support.
