Corefire is turning up the heat in the Pascack Valley, bringing its signature blend of fitness and community to a brand-new location in Old Tappan. Founded in 2014 and now owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Joe and Sara Fusco, the brand has already built strong roots in Montclair and Ridgewood—two thriving studios that reflect their commitment to transformative workouts and a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere.
Now, Corefire is expanding that mission to Old Tappan with its first franchise location. More than just creating a space to get a great workout, the new studio continues the brand’s goal of building a fitness brand that empowers members while uplifting local businesses—a core part of what defines the Corefire experience.
What truly sets Corefire apart is its signature approach to fitness: high-intensity, low-impact workouts that prioritize strength and joint safety. The studio provides 45-minute Lagree Fitness classes with strength based Megaformer training—both built around a spring-loaded machine that blends elements of pilates, resistance, and cardio into one dynamic workout. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to fitness, Corefire offers scalable, results-driven programs in a warm and supportive environment.
Their Old Tappan studio will feature over a dozen of their Lagree machines and offer both boutique group classes and private sessions, continuing the personalized service and community feel Corefire is known for.
As they settle into Old Tappan, Corefire is excited to become a part of the Pascack Valley, bringing their fire to residents looking for a new kind of fitness community.
“We love our communities in Ridgewood and Montclair,” said team member Dominique Colella. “So stepping into a new area and bringing our workouts to Old Tappan is really exciting.”
That excitement extends beyond the workout floor. Each Corefire location serves as a community hub—highlighting local businesses, celebrating member success, and fostering personal growth.
“Our main focus is to make this a comfortable, approachable, and welcoming environment for everyone,” Colella said. “We want it to feel like an extension of home.”
It’s that blend of approachability and empowerment that fuels Corefire’s growing success. And this fall, their fire is ready to ignite a new community—right here in the Pascack Valley.
