Started going here to gain back my mobility after surgery. Excellent facility, top-notch equipment, and a great team. highly recommend.

My wife and I tried their Gyrokinesis class and love it. I have both tried the Gyrotonic machines too. This place has done wonders for our backs and for mobility and flexibility. The trainers and owners are all awesome. I highly recommend CNS. read more

My best kept secret. I cant believe how lucky I am to find this great studio. I am taking pilates reformer during my lunch with one is the best trainers. Jeffrey would teach when I am the only student. I feel so honored to have a private lessons when I paid for group classes. I dont know how long it will last, because I am sure studio soon will become one of the most popular Evanston studio. I also took yoga classes there, Wow!! Great teachers, great atmosphere, keep it up!!! read more

These people know what they're doing. If you have back problems they can customize a format for you that will address them and in most cases work. Been going there almost 2 years and I think they're terrific. read more

I found this place to be really great to getting in shape and healthy and get my spine and wonderful feeling read more

See all

I am a very active mid-sixties-year-old male, who is finding that my body does not always take kindly to the level of activity and stress to which I am inclined to subject it. After years of badgering from my wife, who is a devoted client of Chicago Northshore Kinetics, I finally signed up for several individual classes. It almost always aggravates me to be compelled to admit that my spouse is much smarter than I, but in this instance, as in far to many others, it turns out to be the truth. For over a year now, I have been routinely taking individual lessons at Chicago Northshore Kinetics. I find that my posture has improved substantially and my physical flexibility even more so. The staff at Chicago Northshore Kinetics are wonderful, demanding, patient, supportive and utterly congenial. The result is that I may yet have many more years of slugging up mountains and biking up and down back-country roads ahead of me. I Can't say enough good things about this company. read more

This gym excels in group exercise classes, boot camp, and massage. The studio is clean and the instructors are caring, accessible experts. I feel lucky to have found it. read more

This is a great place. The pilates is great, but it's cool that they are really focused on gyrotonic as well. I didn't realize it at first, but that's pretty hard to find. Alissa, the owner, is one of 50 or 60 master trainers in the world so she knows what she's doing. She also has hired some great people. Jill is an excellent trainer! Also, while it may seem expensive at 55 or 60 dollars for a private session (depending on whether or not you buy a class card), this place is actually a bargain! At some studios it is 80 dollars a session (mind you the instructors elsewhere usually have less experience). read more

If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful place to have a great workout, with experts in all areas, this is the place for you. All the instructors are fantastic and all make you feel welcome regardless of your fitness level. Zumba, Pilates, Gyrotonic, Barre, Yoga and more in a supportive and gorgeous environment. Top of the line equipment. The owner Kay truly knows what she is doing and is very inspired and committed to help you grow your potential. read more

The studio is lovely and inviting, with beautiful light. I am new to these disciplines, and purchased the 3 private sessions for $180. I choose 1 Gyrotonic and 2 Pilates classes. I cannot fault the instructors, as I have no point of reference. I found the classes to be confusing, complicated and was sadly bored. Perhaps this is not the place for a beginner. read more

I own a yoga studio down the street from here and am always looking for new movement practices. Gyrotonics has been the perfect addition to my movement diet- bringing stability, symmetry and strength to areas of my body that were really needing some more careful attention. It's also been adding so much more detail to my yoga practice as I have a better understanding of my movement tendencies now. I highly recommend this beautiful and professional studio and I love working with Kay. I think Gyrotonics is especially useful for people looking to work with their scoliosis, pelvic instability after having babies and re-mobilizing joints after injury or surgery. read more

This is my third boot camp. I started out by going with my teenager who didn't want to go by herself. Now I am pretty hooked. It is difficult (as it should be) but great. A clean, zen environment, which I like -- ( I dislike TV screens hanging all over and on equipment). The exercises are really mixed up so it was always interesting. Kaye also would show modification for each exercise, so no one was ever left behind. I definitely feel the difference in the tone and strength of my body and although weight loss isn't the goal -- I have lost weight. This place is working for me! I like the music and the mix of ages. OK and did I mention clean? For some reason that is really high on my list of desirable qualities in an exercise studio, and this place is squeaky! read more

I absolutely love this studio! Jamilia is an excellent instructor and the owner, Kay, is extremely knowledgable and sweet. They really take the time to get to know their clients. read more

I discovered Northshore Kinestics on an extended trip to the midwest. Amazing studio, amazing teachers. I had Paula for Pilates and Kay for Gyrotonics. They were both skilled, patient, and knowledgable. Hour-long classes always seemed to go by in half the time. I only wish I could bring this whole studio back to the West Coast! read more

I have been working with this studio for almost 6 years, doing Pilates and Gyrotonics. I can't say enough wonderful things about the variety of offerings, the people who work there, and quality of the instruction. The instructors are all exceptional and personalize your workout even if you are in a group class. they always remember "my issues" and offer adaptations. Recently i have also taken a few Core Barre classes; it is a great workout. They offer Zumba and Yoga too. I wish I had the time (and money) to take all of their classes. My husband started working with 2 instructors over a year ago, and he is hooked as well. I feel our work there is really improving the form and function of our bodies, enabling us to continue cycling and hiking with greater strength and endurance. I am so grateful to CNSK. read more

Time for a new review on CNSK! They have expanded the studio and Kay is not only the owner but an amazing instructor. My first experience with CNSK started with a 4 week Bootcamp class (cardio, weights, core, etc). I've taken Bootcamp classes at gyms before and they do not compare. It was 4 times a week and each class felt new and exciting and left you wanting more. She will work you hard but make the class work for all fitness levels without ever making anyone feel like they were holding the class back. I feel stronger and more confident with my form -she takes the time to teach you individually if necessary and she isn't just trying to finish the class as I have encountered at other places. Whether you are looking for a change from the typical gym scene or want to supplement your gym with different classes or personal sessions, check it out - you won't be disappointed. I'm also taking Zumba with Madonna, she's really great and the class is a blast. We're starting another Bootcamp class tomorrow - can't wait!! Pilates will be next on my list. read more
