When Jessica G. Ramsey left the field of oncology clinical research in the pharmaceutical industry and focused on her fitness career, it immediately became a passion. After working in fitness since 1991, Jessica couldn't be more excited to open her own Personal Training and Pilates studio. PhysiCore now offers the Delaware's largest and most convenient STOTT certified Pilates Studios with two locations! And in keeping with our tradition, it's only ONE trainer at a time, so even when size matters, you get the privacy you deserve.

Jessica applies her degrees in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Delaware as a foundation for her holistic training approach. Combined with her Personal Training and Pilates education, she has become a trainer who not only describes the exercises you perform, but also why you do them, why they are suited to you and which muscles you should feel when they are performed correctly. More importantly, you will know when you are not doing the move correctly. You might have experienced other trainers who don't even watch you. Tsk. Tsk.

Using Pilates, weight training, general nutrition counseling, and discussion of daily habits, Jessica will help you realize your body’s potential. She can assist you in building confidence and strength that will carry over into your daily activities. A healthy body through exercise and a healthy lifestyle is only the beginning. Call today to achieve fitness … from the inside, out.

April S. Riordan’s fitness career started as a natural progression from her dance background as an instructor in high school and college. It surfaced as a great way to keep up her fitness regimen while working full-time as a marketing representative for financial and investment products. In 1999, April received her certification in Group Fitness and Mat Pilates with the Jefferson Health System ~ Northeast Philadelphia Campus. In addition, April is STOTT Pilates trained in Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels.

In 2004, April developed a wellness program, entitled “Wellness At Work,” for a corporate center in Wilmington. This program allowed employees to use their lunch hour to participate in group fitness classes and various wellness programs.

Passionate about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and a sound well-being, her teaching style combines physical and mental exercise techniques to revitalize the mind, body and spirit.

Dani Hadley has been actively practicing Pilates for 10 years. Her extensive training and certification in STOTT Pilates complements her belief that anyone can have improved posture and flexibility, a strong “core” (back and abdominals), heightened mind-body awareness, and improved overall strength. She uses the full repertoire of equipment including mat, reformer, chairs, towers and barrels to create complete, well-balanced workouts for her clients.

In her spare time, Dani enjoys cooking and learning about the nutrition behind it. She is an avid reader and likes to spend time outdoors with her daughter, Lydia, and husband, Brian, who plays the guitar.

Dani’s passion for fitness carries over into her family, especially her mother, who has been practicing Pilates for 7 years (after her daughter’s encouragement) and works out daily. Mom says it’s one of the things that keep her symptoms of scoliosis under control.

Dani’s fitness philosophy - “Take care of your body and it will take care of you!”

After receiving her BS in Biochemistry from Virginia Tech and working in the pharmaceutical industry years, Beth Engler chose to stay home with her family.

She successfully juggles training with her role as the President of the Henry B. du Pont Middle School PTA as well as riding the MS 150 Bike to the Bay with her husband, Brian, and braving the local walking trails with her two dogs.
