Bespoke Sport + Physio (BSP) is the first and only private collective of entrepreneurs in the health and fitness industry providing a new framework of physical therapy, Bespoke FitnessⓇ, and Bespoke Performance™ (training with a doctor of physical therapy) under one roof, on one platform.
Our story begins in 2012 when Cheryl Delio-Malham left her steady, salaried job as director of personal training at a chain of fitness clubs and founded Studio DelCorpo in Lincoln Park. Her mission? Change the way people think about and engage with physical fitness—not as something onerous and to be avoided (or as a pure vanity play) but as a path to finding meaning and happiness in one’s life through good health — at any age, in spite of any constraints.
She designed her set of protocols and launched Bespoke FitnessⓇ at Studio DelCorpo, a fully customized, norm-breaking, personal training experience informed by the simple yet profound notion that everybody—and everyBODY—is different.
As Cheryl’s business grew, her mission expanded. She realized Bespoke FitnessⓇ was only part of what she calls “the continuum of health” that she wanted to provide to clients.
In 2017, Cheryl began to lay the groundwork to expand Studio Delcorpo’s offerings and introduced physical therapy onto the Bespoke platform. A logical next step in the continuum of bespoke care, rehabilitative therapy and training would allow her fitness clients to access a range of treatments provided by physiotherapists at her original location on Armitage.
Enter Brett Painter and John Randa—a pair of visionary physios who were the first to join Cheryl in 2017 to accelerate the realization of what would become their future… and the future of PT. Working with Cheryl, they began to understand that there was a better way to run a physio practice as entrepreneurs at Studio DelCorpo, where they could help personal training clients transition as needed “from physio to fitness,” offering physical therapy, dry needling, sports-specific performance training, and more.
Studio Delcorpo flourished and quickly became a hive of activity: Ryan Nosak, a collegiate strength and conditioning coach from DePaul, soon joined the team, providing top-tier, sport-specific training to the DelCorpo client community. He was soon followed by Zach Fowler, a sports physio from Loyola’s Athletics Department, who rounded out an elite team of trainers and physios—all working together in a snug, 950 sq. ft. space.
By 2021, Studio DelCorpo had outgrown its original location. Cheryl, Brett, and John formed a new partnership and made the move to a 5,000 sq. ft. facility down the street from Delcorpo’s original address. Four years later, Cheryl, John, and Brett recognized that it was time to rebrand DelCorpo which had grown into a diverse and thriving collective of trainers and physios who run individual businesses/practices on the platform.
Bespoke Sport + Physio (BSP) was born—a safe, spacious, and inclusive health and wellness space that is now home to the city’s most sought-after physios and trainers.
Today, the collective at Bespoke Sport + Physio continues to grow. Each trainer and physio is hand-selected by Cheryl, Brett, and John to ensure that “the continuum of health” is being provided and maintained through ongoing bespoke training and care because, true to Chery’s original guiding principle, “everyBODY is still different.”+
