LeoCore literally means “lion’s heart” and they believe that inside everyone there is the strength and courage to overcome any challenge.
Each member of LeoCore will be invested in in a way that is unprecedented to our area.

The vision at LeoCore is founded on a belief that fitness is a lifestyle. They will provide an individualized experience, professional guidance and daily opportunities for every member to achieve their personal fitness goals. Derek Garcia, a well known local, was a professional triathlete for over a decade. As well as being a father to three boys, he is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer. He has coached world champions, and taught thousands of competitors how to swim and is an expert in how to create and meet goals personally and athletically.
Shannon Horn is a resident of Post Falls for the past 21 years. He is a local business owner, athlete and community supporter. He started First Response Fire Rescue, the wildland fire retardant services company, in 2003, along with River City Fabrication in 2009. As an entrepreneur, Shannon has been busy not only building many businesses in our community but also supporting many local non profit organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club, Post Falls Senior Center. Shannon also started Premier Sports Center, a non profit youth indoor sports facility which he dedicated to his parents in 2010. He was an elite runner in his college years which led him to triathlons where he went on to become a three time national champion in his age group as well as competing in multiple World Championships.
The triathlon circuit is where Derek and Shannon became training partners and friends in 2018. Together they have competed in unique swim team races including the swim run on the island of Malta where they swam a combined total of 6.2 miles and ran over 18 miles.
