However, back and…read morestress issues and the persistent recommendation of my doctor to find and stay with some sort of activity, led me to try pilates at Embody Movement Pilates. Becky is the instructor for the group reformer pilates class that I take. Two words - LOVE IT! I actually look forward to going. The class size is small, the instructor Becky is actively engaged in making sure that you are doing it right, and understands how to modify the moves if you need an accommodation. My stress level has started to lessen as well. If you are a beginner, don't hesitate to take a pilates class at Embody Movement Pilates Studio. I wish I had started sooner.

This studio is wonderful. I've been to so many of the larger chain studios and the quality of the…read moreinstruction is just so subpar compared with what you get at EMPS. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable about everything related to the body, movement and anatomy - you can tell just by reading her blog. Highly recommend this studio to people coming to Pilates for the first time or with an advanced practice.

Her personal training is not only effective but also tailored to your individual needs and goals. She pushes you in the best way while still being supportive and encouraging every step of the way. What really sets her apart is how she goes beyond just workouts--she helps keep me on track with my nutrition as well, which has been especially important while I'm on GLP-1 injections. Rondi genuinely cares about your progress and your overall well-being. She keeps you accountable, motivated, and focused, and the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for real, sustainable results and a trainer who is fully invested in your success, this is the place to be.

I got to try my first class via class pass and it was a phenomenal experience. The front desk staff…read morewas so kind. For class you want to make sure you bring a mat, a large full body towel (you'll be sweating A LOT), and lots of hydration! Of course a water bottle and I would even bring some sort of electrolytes. My first class was challenging and I had to step out a little over halfway through the class, but my body eventually stabilized and the staff made sure to check on me and give me some Gatorade. I'm excited to go to my next class so I can continue to build tolerance. 10/10 would recommend body alive!!!

Alex was a great instructor, she is motivating, professional, and I love her positive vibe! She is clearly passionate about health and encouraging other women to lead healthy lifestyles.

Bridget and Chris are more than personal trainers. They have two of the biggest hearts in the world. They take the time to know you as a client and develops a strategic plan to help you meet your goals. When I met them I was a 24 year old who couldn't even run a mile... now I run half marathons! I never in a million years would have thought I'd like working out or going to the gym, but somehow I found a love for Pilates and running in my time at Commit. If you are even slightly motivated to change your fitness level I highly recommend checking out Commit. You will not regret it.

I do have to say the view from the pilates studio was GREAT. It over looks the river, really relaxing. I was new to mat pilates and the group i sat in with seemed to be a little more advanced. I felt i didn't get the detailed instructions like remembering to keep my spine imprinted to the mat. little details that would have helped. I thought it was weird that they didn't have a formal changing area. Its a small room to put your things with a curtain but the curtain opens up to the studio. Its a beautiful studio I am currently a member at LifeTime fitness and they have a studio. If I lived closer to Geneva I would consider taking classes there.

If you are advanced, you will still be challenged with Mat classes, the Reformer and Tower. Ben, the owner and his staff are all certified and experienced instructors. No loud music here. Very relaxing and beautiful view of the Fox River. I did Mat classes for a few years and then switched to Tower classes. I have also had private instruction with Ben, which I highly recommend, if you want to focus on areas of concern.

There are several things on my list of "I don't do's"…read more I don't eat cherry-flavored gummy bears I don't wear sandals with socks I don't run unless I'm being chased (and even then, I'd rather hide) and I don't work out Cue Weight Watchers, Groupon, and Center Fit, where *shocker* I found something awesome. As a WW member, it's been a while since I've really needed to start working out, but it's pretty tough. Even the Wii Fit hurts my bod--thank you to years of cheerleading and injuries for my arthritis and loosey goosey ligaments/tendons (yes, that IS the technical term that the orthopedic surgeon provided me with). So I watch Groupon for fitness deals, because I'm a deal hound like that. One day, I see a deal for True Health Studio. "Hmmm" I say to myself...let's see, shall we? Zumba? Fun! Kettlebells? COOL! Sledge hammers and giant tires? HELL YES! But wait...I can't do any of that...It will hurt. *sad face* Restoring movement? Now we're talking. Two weeks in and I'm hooked. Steve runs the class as a group personal training, where routines are personalized for each individual in a small group setting. His knowledge of the body and how we move is phenomenal. Rock. On. No pain, no gain? Not in this class. The goal is not to push too far, but to go just far enough to move more the next day. After day one, I was still a little sore, but I wasn't in pain and I was excited to return. I leave each session with a smile on my face knowing that my body is getting stronger and that one day I WILL get to play with sledge hammers and kettlebells.

I've also been involved in a few of their productions. The location is easy-to-find with ample parking right in front of the building. The inside is clean, well-maintained, and has 2 studios spaces (one large, one medium-sized) plus a couple lounge areas, one of which is used for music lessons and as a waiting area for clients and parents. The large studio has plenty of room to accommodate many dancers, adequate vertical space for leaps and jumps, very sturdy barres, and a comfortable, marley-covered floor. Though I have experience in music and am rhythmically capable, I was completely new to ballet when I started here. Heather's experience in the ballet world and in teaching the methods become apparent right away. She provides instructions that are very clear and offers cues that help to easily address form issues. Between exercises, she'll share the history of the movements and techniques, the origin of the words and phrasings, and the anatomy/kinesiology and physics behind the movements. This makes the class very interesting to me. She's also able to accommodate everyone in the class regardless of ability level, providing individual instruction equally among the dancers. Heather's great at assigning challenging routines that are just at the top of my abilities so that I'm pushed towards improvement. Ballet is physically demanding no doubt, but a lot of the difficulty for me comes from the mental and memory aspects of learning a routine. It is hard work, and I find it very rewarding. During my time with the studio, I've been given the opportunity to perform in a couple of their productions. It's great to be able to put all that hard work into a final product that my family and friends can enjoy! It's also wonderful to be able to do this alongside her other students and company members as a team. I've witnessed firsthand that this studio forges hard-working young individuals who learn to take criticism as opportunity for improvement, work hard for results, and take pride in their accomplishments.
