Our Team
Mary Delk
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO MOVE and have been drawn to athletics ever since I was a little girl! I have always been a runner and love to find the limits of my body in any sport that I do. I have found that Pilates helps me maintain my athleticism, which allows me to participate in Ultrarunning events, mountain biking and to teach my clients every day! I started Pilates in 2001 and knew that teaching would allow me to share the gift of what Pilates can do for your body and mind. I completed my certification program in 2007 with Romana's Pilates and was certified in the Classical method.

As an avid scuba diver who is getting a little older (68), I decided to try Pilates to improve my core strength and stability for balancing and stamina when wearing heavy gear and to be able to keep on diving for many years! I decided on Mark Delk Pilates after some research and reading reviews. I started about 6 months ago with Kathy McDowell and have experienced an increase in my strength and stability that has me feeling great when I am diving – like I did 20 years ago! I am amazed at the changes in my muscle control and posture and general overall feeling of wellness.

I started Pilates with Mary as a beginner more than a year ago. Mary has taught me so much with her knowledge, hands-on approach, and constant encouragement! I take class 3 days a week and love it. I recommend Mary’s instruction and classes without hesitation for the beginner or experienced. She is the best!

I have been working with Mary Delk for three years and have seen and felt tremendous improvement in pain relief, flexibility, and core strength. Mary has safely taught me during the pandemic and helped keep me strong and healthy.
Her individualized instruction keeps me focused and is always changing to work on whatever body parts need extra help that day.
My workouts are fun and I leave feeling stronger and better able to take on my day.

“I've been working out with Mary Delk Pilates for almost 2 years now. I retired in the spring of 2016 and had had a desk job for over 40 years. Retirement made me even more sedentary, so I knew I needed to get up and get moving. My daughter is a client and a friend of Mary’s, so she put the two of us together and I haven't regretted one minute of it. I come about 22 mi each way twice a week to work out with Mary. She is so hands-on, positive, and knowledgeable and I love her and you will too, so come to try it!”
