Welcome

 

Thank you for visiting. This website provides a lot of information about the services, equipment and classes available through Core Focus at the studio in Hampstead or local area facilities. Feel free to browse through the various pages on the left for the topic you are interested in or contact Dale directly if you have specific questions or concerns.

 

Why choose Core Focus?

Dale is currently the only Physical Therapist and STOTT PILATES® Certified and TRX Suspension Trainer instructor in the tri-county area with her own studio offering these specialties to her clients. 

 

With her background, training, experience and passion to teach, Dale can provide a wider variety of safe, effective and efficient exercises and treatment activities while also preventing injuries.  She can initiate or continue progressing a client in their rehabilitation process they started with another healthcare professional: physician, physical or occupational therapist, chiropractor or other discipline if indicated.  She can evaluate a client's needs in more depth than most Pilates instructors and offer more expansive treatment skills and techniques to a large range of diagnoses and goals. Pilates promotes therapy to include and address the entire body as a package instead of only one joint or region. See Dale's Bio for more details on her background and STOTT's website for information on their training programs.

Breast Cancer Benefit Classes

 

Be sure to check out Shape Magazine's October Issue (with Brooke Sheilds on the cover)  The special Pilates section includes an exercise by Dale DePue and her photo.

 

Last year Dale held a benefit class for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in which she collected $350 in a one hour class held at Second Wind Fitness Center. This year she aims to beat those donations by holding three classes.

Gymnastics Unlimited

in Wilmington

 

Gymnastics Unlimited and Core Focus are teaming up to now offer Pilates classes to the parents of their gymnasts or others interested in trying Pilates classes.  You will get discounts for signing up your child for gymnastics when you sign-up for Pilates or for planning to attend 6 0r 12 of the available classes within an eight week period. 

Classes will always incorporate the essential Pilates principles but progress students up to their potential while also giving them feedback on their technique.  My goal is always to achieve the essence of each exercise. I will modify an exercise to each student's body type or movement pattern to either accommodate or challenge them. We will limit the class to 15 so you can get some feedback while also getting a cost effective workout.  Classes will cost ~$10 per class with discounts for packages of 6 for $55 or 12 for $100. Classes expire within an 8 week period.

Please note: Please call or e-mail me at least 24 hrs before the class so I know how many will be attending.

 

TRX Classes at Second Wind Fitness Center

Ever wanted to get an efficient, challenging all over body workout with more personalized attention by the instructor?

Here's your chance. 

On Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-7 pm, I am teaching small group personal training classes with the TRX.  I guarantee it will be an efficient and challenging class but I will help you modify exercises to your skill and strength level.  It will be fun, exciting, different and very educational. I always strive to give people knowledge to carry-over out of class so they can utilize it in everyday activities and other workout situations, not just in my classes.  Come try it out. If you would rather do private sessions with the TRX to get started, I offer them at my studio and at Second Wind.
