Jessi Bova

Jessi is the wife and mom of a young son as well as a full-time Elementary School Counselor. She has a passion for helping others through mental and physical wellness. Teaching barre allows her to do both. 

Jessi holds a  Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Salisbury University and a Master's degree in School Counseling from Wilmington University. 

After taking her first Barre class a few years ago, she was hooked. She had been suffering with symptoms related to her Celiac's Disease and food allergies for years. After just a short period of time attending classes she felt a great deal of relief from her symptoms. 

Jessi took her passion for barre and completed the Barre Intensity Instructor training at Core Elements. 



 
 

Anne Marie Merritt

Anne Marie became a certified instructor in 2014 through Beyond Barre. Over the past nine years, she has attended several additional trainings, including Booty Barre and Barre Intensity, and has served as a Senior Instructor for multiple independent studio trainings. In 2018, Anne Marie expanded her certification to Pilates Reformer through Right Balance Pilates. 

She strives to bring a fun atmosphere to her classes while challenging the clients to work hard and never give up, and loves the energy the clients bring to the studio!

Abigail Fry

Abigail’s wellness journey began when she attended the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and Natural Aesthetics in 2013, where she became a Licensed Massage Therapist and Aesthetician.   During her intense studies and long work hours, Abigail found Pilates in her search for self-care. Pilates not only stuck as a great form of exercise, but also enabled her to discover better alignment and body awareness. The improvement and incorporation of body mechanics restored her passion for massage therapy and follows her in all aspects of daily life. Pilates allows Abigail the time to show up for herself both mentally and spiritually, among many other mental health benefits.

Abigail’s Pilates practice has influenced her work with her massage clients; she is able to work with them to strengthen and stretch the muscles, rehab injuries, inform better mobility and hopefully teach them how to become more body aware themselves. When Abigail is not in the studio you can find her working with her family at the Avenue Apothecary and Spa or out in the sunshine - enjoying some beach time, paddle boarding, or boating.

Crystal Collins

Crystal Collins is a full time media advertising executive, mother of two and lover of the Eastern Shore Community. She started practicing Pilates 2 years ago and has since taken close to 500 classes at Core Elements. Her favorite thing about practicing Pilates is the positive changes it has made in the way she sees herself, mentally and physically. Crystal decided to take her determination to continue to grow in her practice.

We are excited that she has started teaching classes here at Core Elements, under the guidance of her mentor, Jessica Wineland. When Crystal is not at Core Elements, you can find her spending time with her family, running with her dog, volunteering around town, and making memories with friends.

Jess Brady

As a former competitive dancer with some minor repetitive use injuries, Jessica found Pilates after several years of searching for a form of exercise that provided a total body experience in a safe environment. With her belief system rooted in holistic wellness, she fell in love with the mind - body connection that Pilates offers. Jessica found that Pilates was not only an incredible workout, but also an outlet for daily stressors and accessible to everyone. She completed the Right Balance Reformer Teacher Training Program during the winter of 2020. She continued her training in 2021 & completed the Right Balance Mat Pilates Teacher Training. In 2022 she became certified in Trapeze & Cadillac through Balanced Body.

Jessica holds a B.F.A. in Creative Writing from Chapman University in Orange, California. When not in the studio or managing the Avenue Apothecary & Spa in downtown Rehoboth Beach, you can find her snuggled up with her family & two large dogs (Zelda the Great Dane & Beau the Black Lab) or out on the boat.
