Pilates near Niles

“My 100th pilates class and I got to sign the board in the studio. Why did I commemorate the occasion with a poo tshirt? It was a Peloton shirt. I'm pleased with my progress.“

“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.“

“I love this studio! I’ve been to many yoga studios all over the city, and still prefer classes here to all the others. Their instructors are knowledgable, prepared, and offer variations as well as correction (as needed) so you don’t accidentally push yourself too far / get hurt. The classes are also consistently great - I haven’t been disappointed by any of their classes. In addition, the studio is clean and has great amenities (e.g., water, towels, locks on their lockers, etc.).“

“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.“

“This is the best Pilates studio! If you are looking for Pilates classes, look no further. Elena and other instructors are wonderful, they are teaching challenging classes and always make them interesting. You need only couple classes and you already will feel stronger and start seeing progress. Studio is very beautiful, atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“I've been working with Witek for about 4 months and have found it life changing. His in-depth knowledge of Pilates and human movement is immediately evident and his attention to detail reassuring. Each session is not only challenging but also fun.“

“I just finished my first week here and had an amazing time! All of the instructors are sweet, welcoming, and knowledgable. Classmates are also very welcoming and helpful with tips for newbies like me! I'm excited to continue and highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking to workout.“

“Best workout in 45minsI enjoy coming to the family classes with my kidsGreat family bonding opportunity“

“Have discovered a wonderful place for Pilates . Tried a different place in the past and got disappointed. I get stronger without being bored and getting a great support at the same time !
Thank you .“

“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!“

“Fabulous trainers - always a good time - trainers educated and great sense of humor !“

“My session with Iryna was an enlightened break through. Her kind and gentle heart created a safe space for me to heal and release from a traumatic past and present. I’m excited to have found a supportive guide into my futureThank you Iryna you truly are a blessing“

“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!“

“I'm still in LOVE with Yoga Six. I have been getting to know the different instructors. Everyone is different. I don't like a workout that is TOO intense. I would say mid is good enough for me. I love RESTORE which is really slow and just focuses on stretching. I do love HOT and Power Yoga. Sculpt yoga has given me such a workout that I have been sore for a few days. Everyone is so nice. I love that the studio is super clean. My current favorite instructors are Claire and Ana. They both have great positive, encouraging energy. I just hit my 30th class!“

“I have been taking Pilates with Sue Garcia Fitness for about 3 years. I love the class and how it varies every week. The instructor incorporates bands, balls and other equipment into the class so I feel I am using different muscles every week. I definitely would recommend this class to anyone interested in Pilates.“

“I absolutely love Andrea. I have been coming to her studio ever since she opened 18 years ago. She is highly trained in classic pilates and studied under Romana Kryzanowska (who trained under Joe Pilates). This was important to me when searching for a pilates studio, because most gyms offer pilates classes, but the instructors have no where near the training of classically trained pilates instructors. Not only does she know what she's doing, but she has an amazing gift for teaching and explaining. After just a few months of classes I noticed incredible changes in my body and posture. I've seen new people start with her that are hunched over and limping who now walk upright. It's incredible. I'm a chiropractor, and I send all my patients to her because I know she'll take care of them and can modify exercises if needed. Pilates is amazing and so is Andrea. If you want to feel and look great, come here!“

“I have been going to Kerri at Northshore Pilates for nine years--she is fantastic and I can't think of a better way to help my osteoporosis than doing her class. Stretching and strength training all in one!! Don't miss this wonderful Pilates studio.“

“Wonderful instructors and very positive environment. This place has changed my life and my strength. I am 74 years old and never enjoyed working out until I found this club!!“

“I'm so happy to have found High Bridge Pilates. The instructors are great--they are knowledgeable and professional and wonderful to work with. The classes themselves are fun but I also get a great workout. The new space is beautiful and I know I'll spend a lot of time there.“

“Best full body work out including strength and stretching in 50 minutes. The teachers are amazing and front desk ladies and so kind friendly and helpful. A wonderful supportive and healthy environment.“

“The Hot Room is a haven for those who want a clean, friendly & expert place to practice26-2 Yoga & Pilates! The instuctors are friendly, approachable & top notch at their craft!!“

“I’ve taken classes by two different instructors here and each time was incredible. I am not a reformer pro but I always have a positive experience and walk out loving life. I highly recommend this location for all levels.“

“I have joined CP Oak Park since October 2023, and I’m very happy I gave Pilates and this location a chance. I know my schedule out in advance; therefore, I quickly book my classes out in advance. I have only got on the waitlist twice and was able to get a spot. Mikaela at check in has been great! Instructors are knowledgeable and can read the room/ pace.“

“Perfect for the beginner or fitness junkie. You can modify based on your needs. Instructors are very helpful.“

“Love this gym. Great facility w absolutely amazing classes. So grateful for the kind staff and the fact that they offer kids club for parents to be able workout. Plus the swim classes here are much better for kids than other establishments. Happy member!“

“They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming when I came in from out of town. Great locker room and facilities. A little small and very unorganized in terms of weights being all over the place but I'll chalk that up to it being a gym and gym goers being awful lol. Awesome selection of equipment and attachments for cables that far exceed the typical 3 attachments you find. Absolutely would recommend. I dealt with Ursula and she was great with the tour and informing me what amenities were available!“
