The instructor's make the classes interesting and always let you know how to modify as needed. The other students are friendly and helpful. It's not as intimidating like other exercise workouts can be.

The staff members at Club Pilates in La Grange are very kind and informative. They're patient and will gently correct any issues you may have with your form during your class.

I had a good first time doing the mat Pilates class with Jill. I was pleasantly surprised upon…read morewalking in to see lots and lots of beautiful workout gear from various brands like Alo Yoga, Lululemon, and others. They even had a few sale racks with 30-50% off. Luckily I was able to fight the urge this time, but I may be tempted to buy something when I go back. This class was great for beginners in my opinion. I gave it 4 stars only because I like a bit more direction in my Pilates class, and although Jill was amazing and sweet, I love when an instructor is kind and encouraging but also provides corrections. I am also a fan of music during my workout classes but if you like more peace and quiet, Jill's class will be up your alley. Despite those two minor things, I am still very interested in going back!

What I found was something truly transformative. Since consistently taking classes, I feel stronger than I have in years. The method has given me back a level of mobility I thought was lost for good. The best part? I can now get down on the floor to play with my grandson and get back up with ease and without any aches. It's a freedom I didn't realize I was missing. This isn't just about fitness; it's about quality of life. I genuinely feel 10 to 15 years younger. The instructors are fantastic at providing modifications and ensuring proper form. If you're a woman over 50 wondering if this is for you, the answer is a resounding YES.

Their equipment is new and in great shape and always clean. The staff is friendly and professional and their classes are led by enthusiastic instructors that really challenge me. Between the convenient location and plentiful equipment, I can get my workout in quickly and get on with my day. I was surprised by low cost of membership, which was significantly less than I expected for a boutique gym. While I would prefer later hours in the evening, that's a small criticism relative to the high quality and value I get here. Overall, I really like "The Local Workout" and recommend you give it a try.

My posture and balance have greatly improved and my slightly curved shoulders are correcting as I progress. I'm not particularly coordinated and was nervous when I began. But founder/certified instructor Fran Ahrens is so welcoming, patient and knowledgeable that any anxiety to begin something new is quickly replaced with excitement and curiosity. She is a true believer in Joseph Pilates' philosophy and fundamental principles and is an expert at her craft. She is located in downtown LaGrange and had previous studios in Western Springs, Hinsdale and Vail, Colorado. Each session offers something new and challenging. She also offers private lessons and massage. Give yourself the gift of good health in this new year. I'm so glad I did. Insta: @fran_ahrens

This atmosphere, which has been cultivated by owners, staff, and area patrons, is difficult to replicate in a big-box, chain gym. Aside from the overall vibe, I like that the people at Elite are upfront with regard to their pricing. There are no guessing games. Their rates are listed on their Web site. They also offer a ten punch card so you can try out the gym before you make a commitment. Those who workout at Elite seem to be connected members of the local community. I find that the clientele is friendly, respectful, and fitness-focused. Lastly, the gym is located in a very cute area of Western Springs. There are several local businesses nearby that you can visit before or after a workout. It's also important to note that parking has never been an issue for me at Elite.
