I discovered Pilates of Lake Forest a few months ago. After suffering a hip injury and being…read morenervous to venture into pilates after many months in PT, I came across pilates of lake forest and Agnes. She has been a true blessing. Not only is she knowledgeable, personable and encouraging, her teaching is effective, straight forward, and individualized. I always look forward to my sessions and I always leave feeling stronger, taller and more confident. Her cueing is perfect to allow me to activate the right muscle groups rather than over compensating with the wrong ones. This is how I know she is teaching correctly. She also is very easy to talk to and the time flies! I highly recommend Pilates of Lake Forest!

Other teachers are great if you are looking for more of a "stretching" type of activity and not so much toning/workout oriented (IMO).

It may have been even…read moremore difficult being 8 years older, but I was so determined to master it that I bought a 10 pack. I'm nearing the end of my 10 pack and am far from mastering lagree. In fact, I would say it's not possible to master this workout, but there are plenty of women in my classes that seem to be experts. And they have perfect lagree bodies as a result! I've tried a variety of teachers and have liked them all! Each class is pretty different, but I leave feeling pretty shaky in my core, legs and arms. I swapped regular pilates for this and feel like I'm getting a much better workout! I do miss the stretch that came with regular pilates, but this really works every muscle of your body. I'm going to continue to try to master it, but it may take another few ten packs to get there!

I've been away from Yelp for a few years since moving from the city, but realize that the suburbs…read moreneed reviews too! Initially I wanted to review the new Vernon Hills location, but as their Yelp site is not yet active, I'll start here. I've been to both barre and cycle classes at the Lake Forest location intermittently for about 2.5 years. Rebecca, the owner, and all the teachers and staff are incredibly welcoming and warm. I've found the other women taking classes to also be friendly -- TDM definitely creates community. I always have a great, albeit intense workout when attending classes. Each of the barre classes is different - music, routine, etc. However, you can expect four sets of abdominals, some planking, seat work, thighs, and arms/back in every class. My muscles work so hard that I end up shaking! Cycle classes are also unique - each instructor plans their ride and music for the class. The studio is professional, the changing room always very clean, and its easy to park (street parking) as well. The studio is very safe, so nothing to worry about when going early or leaving late! I recommend trying TDM!

The Dailey Method Lake Forest is fantastic! Instruction is top notch! The studio is spacious and…read morelocker room is spa-like. This location has the best retail of any TDM studio I've been in! I had to run out of class but next time I will definitely pick a few things up. Tina, the owner, was an instructor at the Bucktown location in the city. Before we get to the the actual instruction, please know that she has the *best* playlists. Okay, okay... Tina has the best cadence as an instructor. I love her classes. TDM is a full body workout. Although the class is basically - warm up/arms/thighs/seatwork/abdominals/cooldown - full body training is sprinkled throughout the entire class. Each area is strengthened and lengthened. I was a longtime runner with knee issues. I had been to physical therapy to alleviate my knee issues but I never achieved the recovery that I needed to be successful until I started TDM. It is truly a challenging and rehabilitative workout. I have never seen results with any workout - yoga, pilates, running, strength training, etc - like I have with TDM. Such tiny movements - such big results. As a former dancer, the movement appeal to my dancer-nature. Flexibility and strength is the main focus, but your heart rate will be high (especially in Tina's classes). There is a focus on the breath as well and the studio strives to be a truly positive environment. I don't respond to people who tear me down - TDM builds you up.

If you're a woman serious about training, avoid this place…read more I've been harassed multiple times.. had inappropriate comments made. Had both male and female members invading my personal space and even been followed to my car. I've reported these incidents to management, but nothing is done. It reflects an outdated management style that excuses harassment, both sexually and in terms of basic boundaries. There is no effort to protect members. The facility itself is poorly maintained. The locker rooms are very dirty and outdated...It's completely overpriced for what it is. I do not feel safe at this gym.
