This gym is outstanding whether you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete. Each class is lead by a…read morecertified instructor. The focus is always on functional exercise allowing you to remain active throughout your lifetime. The coaches allow and encourage you to challenge yourself but do it without injury. They offer suggestions on how to modify an exercise so that you are successful. There are also a number of members who are true athletes and have been quite successful in state, National and world competitions. Besides all that, the members are a fun-loving group and always are welcoming and encouraging to new members. It is NOT your typical big box gym. Pricing varies and can include discounts. Free child care is also available during classes. All age groups are welcome. At various times of the year they have even have separate classes for children and teens based on school schedules. Give it a try and I'll hope to meet you there.

I joined Stone Age Crossfit two months ago looking for a challenging workout each morning before…read morework. With virtually zero prior experience with Crossfit I went through the one on one fundamental sessions with Sarah. Sarah was incredibly patient as I messed up every technique I was taught in ways many would not think were possible... In short I was a hot mess. Despite my apparent lack of conditioning and coordination Sarah remained the perfect cheerleader. The fundamental one on one sessions proved invaluable. Other Crossfit gyms I made enquiries with were happy to let me join their classes without completing the one on one sessions. With the benefit of hindsight I was glad I didn't elect that option as it would make for a very dumb decision! The early morning classes range from hard to really really hard. There is no easy days. The classes are small enough that the coaches are always able to keep you on track. If you can't do a part of the workout the coaches are quick to show you a modification. What I enjoy most is the sense of satisfaction you get from doing some especially difficult each morning. There is a strong community vibe here also. Everyone has been very welcoming.

"DO PILATES. DO LIFE."…read more It just made sense to wait until I had a good amount of classes under my belt before giving my honest review. I had a membership at a luxury Chicago gym where Pilates was included. Classes were always booked. I peeked inside the studio where classes were held and the machine looked a bit intimidating. Didn't know what it was, how it worked and no one was available for questions. Running errands in Evergreen Park one day and saw a Club Pilates being built. I'm curious by nature and asked if I could have a look. I was granted access by the contractor but told to watch my step and be careful. I was in awe. One day I received an email invite to join at a discounted rate. I don't even care how they got my information, I was happy to sign up. I would have my husband drive past the location to check on the progress and see how close the club was to being open. Can you sense my level of excitement? It's real! Lisa the host receptionist has been absolutely amazing at helping me to understand how to book my classes. Thank you. Small studio; cozy with nice lighting. Each instructor has their own playlist to motivate you to move. The club sells a few quality work out pieces as well as cute no-grip socks. The pilates machine is called a reformer and it's not as intimidating as one might think. Turns out, it's LOTS of FUN! I love that classes are small and intimate. Twelve maximum. I love how motivating my instructors are. I love the overall benefits my body is receiving from being consistent. Truly a mind, body connection. Something I have never said about working out.

I had really high hopes for this studio as it is new and close to home, but it's a bit…read moredisappointing. I have attended three classes here so far and things went from great to bad pretty quickly. My first class here was a 1.5 class with Kathy and it was INCREDIBLE! She offered modifications and amplifications and the workout was sometimes challenging. Her cues were always clear and the flow was nice from start to finish. My second class was with Melinda and was also a 1.5 class. She comes off as militant and snobby for lack of better terms (which I am not saying as a bad thing). If sly remarks at the expense of clients while seeking validation from other clients in laughter is your thing, then she's for you. Other than this, her class was good--challenging and engaging with few hiccups in the cues and only a couple gaps in the flow. My most recent visit was upsetting. I have taken more than 20 classes at various CP studios in the last couple months so I felt I had a pretty good idea about what to expect when signing up for the level 1 class. But, it was evident in the first two minutes of class with Nicki that it would be a waste of time and money. Fortunately, I was given the credit back for the class. If you're looking to take a class and leave feeling as if you just worked out, I'd advise passing up on her level 1 classes. In general, she does not seem to be a fan of amplifications, so I'll skip booking with her in the future. For older clients, or those new to reformer, she'd seemingly be a good fit. It is also worth noting that the studio does not yet offer level 2 classes but is hosting workshops in February about leveling up to level 2. I hear level 2 classes will be offered in March.

I love, love, love the laid back non judgemental atmosphere at this location. Being as though this location is near where I live, I can go get in a good workout during hours where there are few, to no crowds. I love the staff, especially "Ahmad" he is always attentive, cheerful and helpful. Ahmad, is just a very polite and decent young man. If you are looking to get a gym membership, I would highly recommend this one. Tip: Get the "Black card membership." The massage chairs and Hydromassage table is an added bonus,"which is to die for after a workout.."

I was shocked when I realized how much I had stopped moving over the years due to my hip pain. So my recovery has been both making the new hip operational, and getting those atrophied muscles and systems to work properly. My PT Alice Lee and all the supporting staff at Core have given me a new lease on life! I feel stronger every day. Alice has helped me reach my goals, while making it fun and achievable. I never get bored and laugh a lot. All while bringing me back to good health. I highly recommend this place and this crew. They are the best in the business!

The class is 50 minutes and trust me you are working just about every minute of that. Kelly the instructor is a great motivator! If it wasn't for her energetic attidute and genuine excitment to get our butts moving, I don't think I could have gotten through it on that sleepy Sunday morning. The classes are small whichs allows for a more personal feel. Kelly will take the time and make sure you are doing the moves correctly in order to get the most out of your workout. She is extrtemely knowlegdable in both fitness and nutrition...I'm telling you, this girl knows what she's doing. She also makes sure to learn all the participants names to help encourage you along the way....how cool is that? Not only are you getting a personalized workout but did I mention it's affordable? These classes will not break the bank like some of the other downtown gyms...and also you do not need to sign a contract which allows for a lot of flexibilty within your schedule. I couldn't be happier with the workout that I recieved from Kelly at Barre it All. I am still feeling the affects of it two days later (no joke). I think this gym is a great addition to the area and I can't wait to try some of the other classes offered:)

It is a very warm no judgement environment. Every client's wellbeing and need is the priority. They will not turn anyone away because of money. I have NEVER seen any other place do this!! They offer sliding scale options to work with what the client can afford. Counselors have various specialities including, art, trauma, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, addictions, couples, families and the list goes on!!! They also have night and weekend office times so it is easy to work with your schedule. If you are looking for a place for counseling I highly reccomend CSA! You can fill out new client paperwork and choose the option "Help me find the right therapist" and Tammy Bobel will provide suggested therapists to choose from who might best fit your needs. I can't say enough on the quality of care you will receive from CSA.
