Pilates in Chicago

“I’ve been going to Shirley for so many years I honestly can’t remember. I remember going to support her when she was in school and immediately knew she had what it took.

When I opened up my own space I knew the one I wanted to share it with was her. I took the chance and asked her and she took the leap. 4 years later she was able to open her own beautiful space!!!! Supporting growth is everything! I’m really proud of her.

Now anytime I see her she knows what to do. She helps me understand why I may be feeling a certain way. Why certain gym shoes are important and how breath work can change everything.

I’ve seen her really help people over the years-I’ve seen her help people get rid of all types of pains and problems. Her spirit is always welcoming and ready to engage and help you feel great.

Take this as your sign!“

“I absolutely love Barre3. I rarely stick with a fitness studio but they make it very hard to not want to return. Great prices, instructors, and work outs that have you leaving feeling proud of yourself. it’s like yoga and weights combined and i’m all about it. 10/10“

“All of the instructors create classes that are challenging and different. They all make modifications based on current pains, and accommodations based on varying strength of the attendees. It is a fun workout in a lovely space.“

“Can't say enough about this incredible gym. Starting with the owner, Antonio, and to all of the instructors, they are all amazing and are there to help meet you where you're at in your fitness journey and help get you where you want to be. Every piece of equipment you could ask for and a welcoming space. The plant life brings an extra level of energy every time you walk in the door! Can't recommend this gym enough!“

“Love this studio! It's clean and nice and their water bottle filling machine has the best water! They have cold scented towels and just create an amazing experience. The staff are very friendly. I love hot yoga here, but their six styles of yoga give something for everyone (from beginners to people who want a full workout!)“

“I've been attending Pure Pilates for about two years, and it's been an amazing experience! The instructors are all very knowledgeable and emphasize proper form to keep you safe and healthy. Their Pilates method has helped me recover from a back injury that used to cause constant pain. They have a good mix of mat classes and tower classes, and you can do private or duet reformer lessons as well. I was even able to book a private group class for my friend group! Highly recommend trying Pure Pilates out.“

“Love Ab&Flow! I was a long time reformer pilates enthusiast at Equinox with my coach Caitlin. I just started with her at Ab&Flow. First off Caitlin is a life saver nearly a year ago I couldn’t walk due to horrible back pain. Not only has she made the pain disappear but I’m stronger than ever and a Pilates lover for life! The studio’s vibe and atmosphere is so relaxing and warm. The reformers are wonderful and found them to be smoother than spring systems I have used in the past. Located in a cute storefront in Old Town it’s a must for Pilates lovers?“

“I am so thankful for Leah and her studio, LRO Fitness! I have struggled with chronic pain and alignment issues for years and been to countless therapists, doctors and instructors. Leah is the first person who has truly given me hope and for the first time I feel I have made real progress. She is so thoughtful and truly cares about helping her clients and their individual needs. Best Pilates studio I’ve ever been to and I highly recommend coming in!!“

“Gabe is the best! First time coming here, great adjustments with beginner, intermediate and "push" options. Lots of explanations and variations with light push to make you work harder with kindness“

“This studio and specifically Marilyn is a hidden gem. I had a knee injury and she has helped me build back my strength, balance and flexibility. She is so patient, knowledgeable and keeps things interesting by continuing to introduce new exercises! So grateful that I found her. She has deals for first time customers..give the studio a try!“

“Amplified has the best instructors ever. Everyone here is very well trained. The studio is the biggest I’ve seen with the most equipment ever. This place is seriously always busy with clients coming in and out and classes happening. I recently got my training done here and I’m so glad I got to choose Amplified out of any other training spots in the city. The knowledge I have learned and will continue to learn has made me grow so much. Angie the owner was wonderful and has helped me through the entire process over a span of 6-7 months. I could not be more grateful for the amount of knowledge and training I’ve gained from Amplified. Seriously the best Pilates studio. Mandie, another master instructor is also amazing. I am will definitely be coming back to continue my personal training and practice and grow as a new instructor. ??“

“Full Circle Pilates helped me gain the confidence and strength post baby! I feel stronger and better than before! The space is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. I love going there!“

“Can't reach Mary Lee, San Pablo calling lost Nick please find, forgive me Jay, James, Chris and more. Please.“

“Cue Pilates has changed my life. I’ve been training with Tania for four years consistently. She is a classical Pilates instructor who teaches in a way that is easy to understand yet challenging to your physical needs. All of the instructors are amazing to work with.I have accrued multiple, painful issues in my low back, neck and shoulders. Sports injuries, multiple pregnancies and just daily wear and tear. After my last child was born I could not take the chronic pain so I sought back into Pilates, which is where I luckily found Tania. Here I am, four years later, pain free and in the best physical health I could imagine- and I’m still strengthening and learning with each class every week at Cue.If you’re looking to change your routine or start one, check out Cue Pilates. Convenient times and locations. You will not regret.“

“Come here through ClassPass all the instructors are fantastic! And they actually correct you“

“Julia and Michelle were wonderful with me. I was only able to do a couple month with them but I enjoyed very much working with them.“

“Quality instructors who have so much experience. If you are looking for Pilates reformer or gyro-tonic machine or private red cord, strength training or private Pilates lessons, this is the place to go. Every trainer has over 10-20 years experience. Thoughtful and intelligent“

“Honestly, this is the best Reform Pilates studio in Chicago Downtown!
Instructors are real professionals, workouts are the best, changing rooms are like a 5* hotel. I love it here!“

“Love this studio. Quality equipment and instructors. The space is so inviting as well. Support this small business and walk away after a great Pilates class feeling a little taller.“

“I am new to the area and was looking for a Pilates studio that focuses on proper instruction and form, and I'm so happy I found High Bridge Pilates! I've taken classes with Valerie C. and Valerie G. - both are challenging and communicative. I am excited to continue going to classes here.“

“No I'm obsessed. Have taken classes with two different instructors and they were both amazing. Kind, patient, encouraging. Clean cute studio. Love love loveeee no notes“

“I attended my first class this weekend and really enjoyed the sweat session. Coach Howard explained each station in detail, encouraged the class, and provided corrections. The space was great, and Coach Howard gets an A++ from me!“

“I love the instructions at Platform, they're all helpful but unique so you can get a good variety of exercises and instruction. It's also a great community overall.“

“This is one of the best studios in Chicago for strict, Romana (Joseph Pilates protege) based Pilates from former dancers and athletes who have had to accommodate injuries. It’s not just a cosmetic Pilates studio.If you have had a sports injury, or need a true, client centered approach to supplement your physical routine, let Julie and her team take great care of you. And, enjoy the energy of the space.“

“Took advantage of the first time special.

“Full Body Reform” is a higher paced class than I expected, I’d consider difficulty 2/3 out of 5. If you’re new to Pilates I’d suggest a private first.

I’ll try to return. The biggest hurdle is having to book months in advance.“
