My FIRST pilates class in the books, and I couldn't have picked a better place to do it! A friend of mine has been going to Core Chicago Pilates classes for about a year, and I was finally able to join her for a class last night! Core Chicago has two floors for classes, and ours took place in the upstairs space. Our class held 4 people, so it's very intimate and makes it easy to get 1:1 attention with the instructor!Reform pilates classes can be super intimidating because the machinery looks like a medieval contraption to those of us newbs! Luckily for me, our instructor Maggie put any nerves I had at ease right away. She was SO welcoming and immediately walked me through the reformer and how we would be using it in this class. She also made a point to ask if I had any injuries or muscle/joint issues to be aware of. The class itself was so much fun, but still challenging. I loved being able to train my body in a new way, while also incorporating stretches and not being completely exhausted and burned out afterwards. Maggie assisted me every step along the way, and never made me feel bad for being new and totally clueless! She also showed me minor tweaks in form that made the BIGGEST difference. I really loved my class here overall and will definitely be back! It's a fun workout that's challenging and a great way to switch things up from the regular gym routine.

This pilates studio offers challenging classes which are also safe. The teachers are great at making modifications for those who need it without making the pace of the class suffer. In these challenging times, the space is immaculate and I feel very safe there.

Been a regular at Core for the last two years and have taken classes from Holly and all her staff. The quality of teaching is unparalleled. When traveling, have taken Pilates classes in cities all over and there is so much value in the small class sizes offered at Core. It allows for personal instruction and attention to detail that I haven’t experienced at other studios.Well appointed studio welcoming to both those new to Pilates and experienced.Can I leave 10 stars?
