Pilates in Chicago

“I have found my favorite class! Each instructor has a different style which challenges me to try something new and push my self. The studio has smaller class formats which I enjoy more. Locker/bathroom area is very clean and intimate. I love leaving the class feeling empowered and never too sore that I feel out of commission. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. ??“

“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“

“I've belonged to many gyms, and have been at many different stages in my fitness and health journey, and no place has felt as welcoming as BodiShak has. I joined about 7 months ago, and have been working on a routine that works for me and my work schedule. I love the variety of classes, and the times they are offered - strength training, HIIT, cycling, yoga, and more! - and every coach I've met and worked with is encouraging, responsive, and invested in your success, pushing you to be your best and providing modifications as needed. I look forward to my classes at BodiShak, and leave each class feeling energized and good about myself - even if I'm exhausted and my muscles are sore and tired afterwards, lol. Toni is fantastic, and has created a vibe that is warm and welcoming, carefully curated and meaningful to smooth workouts.“

“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!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“I started working with Janell when I was recovering from a back injury and my doctor recommended Pilates. I cannot say enough good things about her talent and expertise; she has an intuitive sense about how your body moves and functions. I don't think injuries are her specialty but she was so helpful in my recovery and helped me love Pilates!“

“Carmel is fantastic. She watches my body and knows what the problems are before I mention them. Her sessions are never "cookie cutter", they are specifically molded to my needs and she recognizes those, often , before I do.“

“Very welcoming and friendly. I felt almost immediately comfortable and I rarely like group classes.“

“I take Pilates beginner classes with Alexandra and I cannot say enough great things about her and the studio. She is such a great instructor as she not only helps correct your form but also explains why it is important to have proper form and what muscle each pose is working on. The studio is small but very cute and clean!“

“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.“

“I have been going to Club Pilates River North since 2020. I have really enjoyed being a member of this studio. All of the instructors are very kind and extremely knowledgable. They pay attention to everyone’s form and correct if needed which I find extremely helpful. They do a good job of demonstrating harder moves. I would highly recommend this studio.“

“Everyone was very warm and friendly. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. Valentines Day couples workshop was really fun and cute ?“

“Great first time visit to Solid Core West Loop. Went to a number of classes in Indy which gave me a level of familiarity, but the instructor (Lauren) was welcoming and friendly and got us oriented in no time.

Great playlist and a challenging workout to get the weekend started - worth the time, effort, and $.“
