Most importantly to me, the community they've built is unlike any other. Fellow members of the gym are the most genuine, supportive, encouraging, and hardworking people.

I purchased a personal training package in early February but due to weather, it was delayed. I had been in a car accident very end of January and by the time the weather cleared was having lots of pain and went to get checked out. Turns out I was badly injured and was ordered by the chiropractor not to be in the gym and would undergo treatment and therapy at least 18 sessions and I am still in enormous pain. I asked for a refund and Javid agreed but 6 weeks and 3 requests later, still no refund of my $337.50. Called an attorney and he told the attorney several sob stories but said since he's a man of his word he'd give my money which he has not. Two additional requests and a call from my attorney, still no refund. It is now mid-May and still doesn't have my money. Finally, I checked BBB which I should've done first and he's done this same thing before and took $550 from a woman. Not only is he a thief but it appears he's also taking advantage of women. He has even gone as far as threatening to contact an attorney yet states he is trying to rebuild his business due to covid and doesn't have my money as yet. I'm sure an attorney is going to cost him far more than my measly $337.50 he is verbally agreeing to return but have yet to deliver and we are basically at June.

All of the workout sessions are different every time from kick boxing, weight training, cardio and strength training. All of the workout sessions are fun. Yes, fun. Mainly because they are different. Every session we also do a round of ab workouts. I hated doing these when I first started training with Sharon because they are pretty intense! Now they are my favorite part to the workout sessions. What I also like about Sharon is that she works with you where you are in terms of your fitness goals. If you are like I am, this type of patience makes you strive harder to complete to complete the exercises. I love this spot! You get what you put into it. I will continue to attend sessions. Oh, also! She works with you in terms of flexibility. I sometimes can't come in at my slotted time and she will accommodate me on a different day because of that. I really appreciate that.

I also really enjoyed using the PolarBeat fitness trackers to see our performance and seeing the stats at the end of class. Shirley's passion for spinning is contagious and I truly enjoyed every minute of her class! She was also nice enough to take the time to share the variety that Blazin' Cycle, mentioning that the set-up of each class can be modified to meet members' fitness goals, such as marathon training.

"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.
