So far, so good! I called Kathryn after searching for trainers on Yelp, my go to app! We…read moreexchanged a few emails and then she called me to talk person to person. We went over my expectations and she was positive and enthsiastic while discussing goals and needs. She answered further emails quickly. Based on our exchanges so far, I am leaning towards selecting Kathryn as my personal trainer!

Kathryn is wonderful! I have had a great experience training with her for the past 6 weeks. When I…read morefirst met with her and I explained what my goals were she was very honest about what was realistic and laid out her thoughts on a game plan (protein goals, number of workouts, food suggestions). She has a background in being a life coach so she is attentive to your total wellness, not just physical, which is key for me. I work out with her exclusively via FaceTime and as a busy, working Mom, it couldn't be more perfect. She is on time and friendly, even at 6 am! If you are on the fence about contacting her, do it! You won't regret it. Scheduling times with her is easy and if I ever need to move times around she is very accommodating. Also, from the beginning she was upfront about her fees and wanted to make sure that we stayed within my budget. She never pushed me to do more than I was comfortable with. Kathryn utilized a phone app called Trainerize, which I love. She loads the work outs in the app after we have completed them so I am able to do them on my own on days of the week that I don't work out with her. It is very easy to follow along.

I found Dr Caitlin as a recommendation from my triathlon community. I had previously seen another…read morepelvic floor physical therapist with my first two pregnancies but felt that I would benefit from working with a pelvic floor PT who was also an endurance athlete and very familiar with the load of training. And was I right! Working with Dr Caitlin has been absolute phenomenal - she's not only helped me return to running safely after my third child was born, but she's so good at being able to identify what are the root causes of my ailments. I see her regularly to address the random woes that appear each week and it's time well spent. She really takes the time to listen to what you're telling her and you can actively see the gears turning as she comes up with new ideas and modifications. In addition to manual work, we've also done cupping and dry needling - both of which have really helped in addressing some of my long standing woes. I highly recommend Dr Caitlin to anybody who is looking for care!

First and foremost...I'm not a runner nor an athlete, however I do have an active lifestyle. The…read moreteam at Optimal Performance is top notch. Whenever I have an issue, they are the first phone call. Dr Ryan is a true healer. He is knowledgeable about his practice and has a superb bedside manner. He tries to get to the root of the issue not just correcting the symptom. That is really important to me. I always leave with 'homework'. I appreciate that they give you exercises to help me improve & heal even more after the session. I've come to the point where I'm just in need of a monthly tune up! Don't sleep on this care team...they'll get you feeling & moving better.

I had a violent back sprain and spasms due a life of hard livin' and hard boozin.' (and picking up a 4 year old) I literally could not walk. My body was in total failure. Dr. Kim quickly diagnosed me. He started bending me in strange ways, and I heard various crackling sounds. He then hooked me up to some kind of fancy taser machine. It basically electrocuted my spine back into working order. He had my life in his hands. He could have turned that thing up to 20,000 volts, but he didn't. He didn't electric chair me. This proved to me that he was trustworthy. In addition, he was thorough and showed me some stretches that would help my broke ass body. So, this was my first time being Chiropractored. I am now a new man. I will go here whenever various body parts shatter under the weight of society and its necessary cheeseburgers. Dr Kim- fantastic.

Laura, the front desk lady was totally unhelpful and basically demanded that I get a release form from my doctor to get my records. They're my records and they belong to me, I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get my own records for my own PERSONAL use, absolutely crazy. So this morning I call back and speak with Dr Kim who acts extremely rude, unprofessional and irritated to me. He questions why I need my records, asking me what is wrong with me, interrupting me mid-sentence, and being a total dick. This place sucks - never go here for ANYTHING!!!!!!

Shout out to Reform Studios for being my go-to pilates studio in Chicago. They were the ones who…read moregot me to start exercising and doing pilates regularly. I've explored other studios and Reform ends up being my favorite. I moved out of Chicago and haven't been able to find a studio just like them. Interior I like pretty much everything about the space. The room where you exercise doesn't have windows facing the sidewalk which I appreciate for privacy and focus reasons. They have 20 reformers in the studio which sounds good to me as higher chance of grabbing a spot and not too intimate. There's floor to almost-ceiling mirrors on both sides of the studio which is helpful for checking my form, looking at other students when I'm confused, and looking at the instructor when they're demonstrating somewhere far from me. Having a clock is important to me to have a sense of how far we are into the class, but I don't think I've ever wish the class ended already. They play music during our workouts but they're never too loud for me to hear the instructor. Appreciate their use of mics. Equipment They use a specific reformer machine that uses buttons to adjust the springs rather than looping/hooking on the springs. It also has a chair and jumpboard on it. Most classes have a jumpboard component which I appreciate it as being unique to Reform. It's fun to fly back and forth. I've tried the chair a handful of times. It's always so hard but also fun to experience without needing to commit to a chair specific class. The foot bar also moves into various positions which gives more options for different moves. Most importantly, I appreciate how the machines are metal, smooth, and shiny. I've been to so many other studios where their machines are so worn and stiff. Instruction I appreciate how the instructors here will almost always demonstrate a move before having us do it. Even if the room is full, they will still show what to do without getting on a machine. Most other studios I've been to actually are against having instructors demonstrate which I think is super frustrating and not accessible. Beginners struggle with mind body connection. Some instructors might be bad at explaining, and some participants may struggle to comprehend for various reasons. Even as a regular, I appreciate demonstrations because there's always new moves and I can't remember all the names. My favorite instructor is Quinn, because I comprehend her instruction/explanations the most and she always brings new moves to class. Classes They have on-demand sessions which is basically following video tutorials. These sessions are mostly weekday afternoon timeslots when they don't have instructor-led sessions. I've never been to one, but I can see how it can be helpful to others. They've been trying to change the variety of classes offered. The signature class is the most common one. Beginners is good for being slightly slower and less resistance, but you can still get a good workout in. Appreciate how they've been trying to add more beginner sessions. Lengthen and Tone is a class where I haven't had a consistent experience in terms of do I feel more stretched coming out. Sculpt is supposed to be higher resistance and more strength focused, but I personally have not tried it. Amenities They have a bunch of lockers (plenty for two classes) to put your stuff and space below for shoes. There's multiple benches and chairs to deal with feet matters. They have a huge changing room with multiple sinks, showers (3?), and bathrooms. Toiletries are provided too! I can't speak on behalf of the men's room but appreciate how they include both.

I had such a horrible experience there, felt so pressured into buying a long term treatment plan, and the whole office was incredibly unprofessional. I gave up on finding a chiropractor until I started having debilitating knee pain that was getting in the way of my workouts. My fitness instructor recommended Dr. Ariana (a chiro for knee pain? Worth a shot!). Dr. Ariana immediately did an outstanding job of helping me understand how my entire body was having an effect on my knee pain. She helped tailor exercises specific to my needs for me to work on outside of our sessions and DID SO MANY MAGICAL THINGS DURING THE SESSIONS TO HEAL ME! Adjustments, muscle work, therapeutic ultrasound, graston, electro stim - she does it all!!! I am so impressed with how much Dr. Ariana has helped me over the past year. My body is in markedly better condition than last December. Honestly words cannot do this woman justice!!!!!! I wish I could give her a trillion stars. GO SEE HER!
