This studio is one of the older…read morePilates studios in the city, and it makes perfect sense to me why/how it's stood the test of time. Their instructors are excellent. They all carry a 500hour comprehensive certification, while also being so friendly, kind, and helpful. I know group classes can be intimidating at first, but the instructors at Core really make everyone feel comfortable, seen, and safe. My favorite instructor here for the longest time has been April. She's so knowledgeable, sweet, and helpful, taking her classes are the best parts of my week. I've started branching out and taking other instructors' classes and honestly, I can't say enough great things about all of them. I also highly recommend trying all the different types of classes. Pilates is a system and we're supposed to use all the different apparatuses, don't be afraid to try them out! The studio itself has a cozy and inviting vibe. There are 2 floors, the ground level has 4 studio reformers, 5 exo chairs, a barrel, and a Cadillac. Upstairs has 5 allegro 2 reformers. They offer every kind of group class you could want from a Pilates studio, as well as private sessions, if you're looking for one on one learning.If you've been interested in starting Pilates, this would be the studio for you, it's been a haven for me. The studio is located in a neighborhood and there's always easy free parking, which is so convenient.

My FIRST pilates class in the books, and I couldn't have picked a better place to do it! A friend…read moreof mine has been going to Core Chicago Pilates classes for about a year, and I was finally able to join her for a class last night! Core Chicago has two floors for classes, and ours took place in the upstairs space. Our class held 4 people, so it's very intimate and makes it easy to get 1:1 attention with the instructor! Reform pilates classes can be super intimidating because the machinery looks like a medieval contraption to those of us newbs! Luckily for me, our instructor Maggie put any nerves I had at ease right away. She was SO welcoming and immediately walked me through the reformer and how we would be using it in this class. She also made a point to ask if I had any injuries or muscle/joint issues to be aware of. The class itself was so much fun, but still challenging. I loved being able to train my body in a new way, while also incorporating stretches and not being completely exhausted and burned out afterwards. Maggie assisted me every step along the way, and never made me feel bad for being new and totally clueless! She also showed me minor tweaks in form that made the BIGGEST difference. I really loved my class here overall and will definitely be back! It's a fun workout that's challenging and a great way to switch things up from the regular gym routine.

Her new studio in Lincoln Park is beautiful with great natural light and it is an uplifting environment. She teaches every minute of the hour lessons and then some - well worth the money.

This location is small but exactly what you need. This new, fabulous studio located right in the heart of the Lincoln Park on Armitage, is a find! A refreshing spot with equipment and mat classes. But, the real gem is the actual teaching. Rachel has a dance background and you can tell with her diligence and attention to detail (I *highly *highly* highhhhly* recommend doing a solo class with her on the equipment-- you may notice different muscles working than what was working at previous studios). She's precise and you can feel a difference. And while she may be technical and focused in on your doing the exercises correctly, she's also fabulously sweet and friendly. This is a true gem and while it may be a new studio, I am SHOCKED to see no one else has written up a *glowing* recommendation. Definitely a pilates studio worth trying out... and you'll probably just love it!!

The environment and attitude at Align is comfortable, welcoming, and very conducive to learning and self-improvement. I have also taken group kettlebell classes with Gene, and found it to be a great workout. Even though it was a group class, Gene spent time with each person to work on their form.

From the moment you walk in, it's clear they've thought through every detail. Their pricing is surprisingly competitive, especially if you're looking for an unlimited membership. Considering everything that's included, it's one of the best values I've found in boutique fitness. The facilities are exceptional. Yoga mats, towels, and cycling shoes are all provided at no additional cost, which makes showing up for class effortless. The studio is always clean, modern, and well maintained, creating an environment where you can focus entirely on your workout. What truly makes Studio Three stand out is the incredible team of instructors. Sayre, Stu, Katie Lee, Danielle, and Jacqueline consistently deliver challenging, motivating, and thoughtfully programmed classes. Every coach brings a unique style, but they all share the ability to push you while making every workout enjoyable. Let's also not forget the studio management team, Julia, and the amazing front desk associates. Emily always remembers me when I visit, and she truly makes everyone feel at home. After visiting boutique fitness studios across the country for the last decade, I can honestly say Studio Three has set the standard. Between the outstanding instructors, beautiful facilities, convenient amenities, and excellent membership options, it's an easy five-star experience. I recommend it to anyone looking for the best fitness studio in Chicago.

I'm currently transitioning from strength training to Pilates, and Pilates has always intimidated me because I never really know if I'm doing the movements correctly or getting a real workout. Cheri completely changed that for me. Her class is challenging without feeling impossible, and she does such an amazing job paying attention to your form and making adjustments when needed. She'll give you modifications if you need something easier, but she'll also help you level it up if you want more of a challenge. I've tried Pilates at other places before and never stuck with it because I always felt a little lost, but I feel so much more comfortable and confident in Cheri's class. She's attentive, encouraging, and makes you feel like you're actually learning while still getting a great workout. I definitely wanted to give her her flowers because she's amazing!

I had never used a reformer before, but the instructor, Katie, was super helpful and made sure to do a quick demo before class since she knew I was new.
