Honestly, this is the best Reform Pilates studio in Chicago Downtown! Instructors are real professionals, workouts are the best, changing rooms are like a 5* hotel. I love it here!

One of my favorite pilates studios in the city! These machines are some of the best I have found. I have taken multiple classes with different instructors, and they have all been great. They provided corrections and assistance when needed, which I always appreciate. Definitely recommend.

I love reform! I love how the pace of class is beginner friendly with options to add adjustments for more difficulty. Every class has a warm up and cool down and the focus is on breath work with some meditative components at the end. I went to Felicia’s first class the other day and she was awesome. I had to write a review so she knows her pace of class as well as her supportive nature was really great! She made class really fun and enjoyable!

TLDR; an absolute gem of a reformer studio. Don’t hesitate to try it! Having tried several studios in Chicago, this one was coincidentally the first and by far the best which I just kept coming back to. The studio is new, modern with amazing instructors and the use of a super modern Reform Rx which is just super cool & fun to use and in line with the modern, clean vibe of the studio. They have beginner classes every week and even if you start with a regular class the instructors are so good at guiding you, making sure your breath work and form is correct to really makes Pilates a great experience. I always leave the classes feeling empowered and confident!

Thank you for an amazing workout this morning! From the moment I was warmly greeted by owner Jennifer to when I left, I felt very welcomed and well taken care of. This was my first time doing Pilates, and Christina was a fantastic instructor who, without missing a beat, explained and demonstrated how to use the machines throughout the entire workout. She did a great job of keeping the pace moving for regulars while also creating a confidence-building environment for first timers. The instructor was encouraging and provided helpful modifications to progress or soften moves as needed. I loved the location, community partnerships, open reception area, high ceilings in the studio, and state-of-the art machines. Every detail was considered and provided to make this an enjoyable experience—easy check-in, lockers with built-in locks and a charging station inside so I could charge my phone while in class, water bottle filling station, towels, just the right flow of cool air to stay comfortable through the entire workout, motivational music, and lighting kept low enough to encourage relaxation and focus. After my workout, I headed to the changing room and showers, which were thoughtfully stocked with high-quality Kiehl’s shampoo, conditioner, and body wash as well as towels, hair ties, dry shampoo, mirrors, and hair dryers. They even have workout gear for purchase if you forgot something, so I was able to buy a pair of grip socks for the workout. As I was traveling for business and needed to start my day with an invigorating workout and then clean up and be ready to go for the day’s meetings, this studio hit the spot: accessible from public transit, welcoming, inclusive, and revitalizing. Reform Studios, thank you for such a great first experience with Pilates!
