The Core

Worst/​rudest customer service I have ever experienced. Owner would not honor a $ 2 off coupon. Jamba Juice is much better and the service much friendlier.

I just love the shakes, but are pricey, that are supposed to be a meal replacement but I still get hungry a hour after. Maybe I am a pig? I feel that it should keep you full longer than a hour. And the raspberry tea is the best. It’s refreshing.
This location is better than the one on Sycamore. I like the people here. To each his own.

Went there this morning. I had «George» a young kid help me. Was not informative about the product (shake) and recommend that I don’t choose my shake. I picked a particular shake for a reason, and did not appreciate a «kid» question me on my selection. This is the second time I went there, and was NOT impressed with the service. I would recommend «See Me Healthy». It’s on Royal and Madera. They carry the exact same products/​selection, and service is much more professional informative, and friendly. I would rate a 0 star if it was an option.

YUM! I’m so addicted to the Immunity Cocktail that I actually get sad when it’s gone. The shakes are good and the staff is friendly! Love the aloe shot too. So refreshing and delicious.
They are super knowledgeable people that were happy to answer all of my questions.
Love this place!

What a fun place. I didn’t know there were so many healthy beautiful people here in Simi. This place is making it happen. Love the free boot camp on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The shakes are flawless each time I have one. The best tasting Aloe ever. Addicted to the Beverage Mix drink and the immunity cocktail drink. The snack bars are ridiculously good and they have patience with everyone because the list of shakes one can order seems to go on and on. A complete meal, I am losing weight, getting into great shape am more awake, focused and healthier than I have ever been… Seriously. Let one of the coaches get you on the right track as they did me. I love that I can go in there and track my progress too. Knowledgeable owners and coaches. A great time, a great place to be surrounded by healthy people and hopefully it will make Starbucks and Jamba juice slip away into darkness. On my way to The Core now. See you in a few!

These shakes are so good! We got the Butterfinger and the birthday cake and loved them both. Employees are helpful and knowledgable.

Love this place! Get the cherry almond vanilla oatmeal! They are so friendly and helpful!

Smoothies are so good and for the most part everyone is always helpful. I get the best service when Samantha works; she’s makes the best smoothies and is always so happy. I love coming here before work or school and it keeps me filled for a long time!

This place is amazing. I have celiacs disease and they helped me determine which shakes are certified gluten free. I’d previously been to a different herballife place and they told me all shakes were gf without graham crackers… not true! I ordered a birthday cake shake without graham and was so impressed! Low carb, low sugar, and with 24 grams of protein. You get a shot of aloe, a tea, and your shake for about 8 bucks which is not bad at all considering it’s a meal replacement. I’m hooked!

Lydia, Ross, Sam and their crew have two stores here in Simi. I visited with all kinds of preconceived notions about Herbalife. Well, this place makes Herbalife shakes. They taste great and keep me feeling satisfied until the next meal time.
I always have great discussions with the team, but today’s chat with Lydia about Herbalife was very enlightening. The company’s doing great. And the market’s never wrong. That’s because the closer you look, the better they are.
These are fantastic tasting products at the right price, in a clean, friendly place, that help you avoid a fast food lunch. What a great alternative.

The tropical fruit experience was amazing! The only thing I wish is that they had stevia available for the tea.

I LOVE that we now have a place to go for a LOW sugar, vitamin packed, meal replacement smoothie! AND the peeps are very nice!!!

I have been coming here everyday for the past 6 months and already I have lost 84 lbs! The shakes and tea are awesome, and the staff is excellent. When I’m there it feels like home. I Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to lose weight, maintain weight, stay in shape or just flat out hungry :)

Great way for anyone to get their vitamins and nutrients!
I went to a free trial event where, as others have said, I got a health evaluation done. They went through my numbers and said I was already healthy and asked me what I was looking to get from the product if I were to try it. I get up really early and don’t have time to make a nutritious breakfast so I thought I would give this a try.
Personally, I really liked the taste of the aloevera, tea (although slightly bitter) and smoothies (meal replacements).
I gave it 4 stars because it is pricy especially if you want to buy the product and commit to a schedule and also because the business side of it does seem like it’s a pyramid system.

Went yesterday for my first time. Cool little régime they offer. Aloe vera shot, yummy natural and sugar free tea, and then a hearty shake. I visited at 5 PM and wasn’t hungry again til about 9 PM. A good meal replacement. Staff was also very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my health and excited about their product. I will likely return. Certainly a better choice than Panda Express next door.

Just tried the mint chocolate banana shake. Insane. So good. A nice switch up from my normal. The staff is great as always. Matt and Ross thank you for all your help. Trust me people if you’re looking for a good meal replacement shake that is super healthy come here. You won’t be disappointed.

The employees were extremely nice and knowledgeable! I definitely recommend it as a healthy meal!

I absolutely LOVE the herbalife shakes… but the guy working at this place is incredibly RUDE. Never going back

I admit, the first time I tried coming here… I left a little pissed off. Someone had been walking around Regal Plaza passing out free vouchers for your first visit. So I decided to go by after eating… and they were closed for some private thing! I’m glad I gave The Core another chance, because the guy (Ross) passing out flyers remembered me and hooked me up for my first visit.
This place is just what I needed, a quick place to go before or after workouts, even in between, to get my dosage of protein or a healthy meal replacement. As hard as I work out and as much as I can eat, I’m the laziest guy I know. Eating healthy, gets old. I’m constantly left thinking and thinking about what I’m allowed to eat, so much so that I get to the point of not even wanting to eat anymore. The Core takes the guess work out of it all.
They start you off with a shot of mango aloe vera, which I was told lubricates your joints. I’m no expert on aloe vera so I’m not quite positive about this one, but I do know that aloe vera makes you take #2’s easier, so I’m with it. Next comes a raspberry tea blend which is supposed to hydrate rather than dehydrate you. Caffeine is a diuretic and in-​fact, does dehydrate; I’m guessing this is decaffeinated? Either way, it wasn’t sweet and was actually pretty refreshing. Next comes the smoothie, and I guess you can get pretty much anything in it you want. I had the chocolate, strawberry, and banana smoothie with soy milk and soy protein. Yes, I am lactose intolerant. The soy protein powder they use contains casein, but I didn’t have a reaction to it… thank god. Every smoothie they make has 25 grams of protein, more than enough for your body to process before or after a workout.
They also offer health measurements (i.e. body fat, muscle mass), which is a nice addition albeit somewhat odd for a place that sells food. I can appreciate it though.
The Core definitely gets a recommendation coming from a (very particular) fitness junkie like myself.

So, on my last trip to Subway I noticed a new place. A place called The Core. At first, I thought it was just another smoothie place. Like a Jamba Juice… or…um…some other smoothie place. But I was told otherwise. They are not a smoothie place, they are a meal replacement place. So, I decided to come back on a day where I hadn’t eaten a veggie sandwich. That day was today.
Me and my lunch buddy parked on the other side of the lot, because parking blew donkey balls for some reason today. We walked over to this new place. Upon entering I noticed that there was a full crowd in there. I then had three different people ask me if I was a «first timer». One would start, and then stop midway for something and walk off. The third person got our answer, and began to weave their tale of healthiness. They were enthusiastic, and began our meal replacement with a shot of flavored water. «It will lubricate your joints!» said the guy. It was flavored water. It wasn’t Simi Tap water. After the shot of water, he put a cup of iced tea in front of us. «It’ll burn 80 calories straight away by thermogenically reacting with things!» said the guy. Personally, I think he was using big words to sell us something. He then rambled on about something or other, and before I knew it I had a peanut butter chocolate smoothie placed in front of me. «It’s only 330 calories and it will keep you full for hours and hours with no crash!» said the guy. He was very enthusiastic and answered whatever questions we threw at him.
He was friendly and asked if we wanted to set up a health measure test thingy. Where they measure everything and tell you how unhealthy you are. Probably so they can convince you that you need more of their healthy stuff. But hey, who knows. My peanut butter banana smoothie was tasty enough, the iced tea was good, and that shot of water was very flavorful. I can see how meal replacement is healthy and good and I’m sure their stuff is retardedly high quality. But, it was 8 bucks for the 3 beverages. I’ll fully admit it, I am probably not this place’s target audience. Because personally, I’d rather have a burger at Carl’s Jr for $ 5.00.
So in recap,
2 Stars for the meal replacement + attempted recruitment into a crazy fitness cult.
1 Star for the smokin’ hot blond chick in the spandex pants.
