Randi once told me that you don't do Pilates to get better at Pilates, you do it so you are better at other things. I just got back from a trip to Boulder to visit my sister where the second day we hiked for 2 1/2 hours and I kept up with her just fine! I really am stronger and made all the hiking on the trip that much more of a pleasure! read more

I've done Pilates on and off for the last 15 years, so I'm really picky about my studios, but I absolutely LOVE Frog Temple. All of their instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and well trained. I leave every class feeling challenged, but invigorated. Randi (the owner) is the best! Somehow she manages to be thoughtful and funny while still kicking your butt in class. She also goes out of her way to get to know her clients. I really can't say enough good things about this place. read more

This is a studio with teachers who are focused on the practice of Pilates and ensuring that every single person in the class is getting the most out of their practice -- no matter where they are starting from. It's also a studio that supports advanced practices. You get more than a workout, and leave with a better understanding of the whole body and mind connection. I always leave feeling stronger and smarter read more

I'm not usually a pilates or yoga type of person, but it's getting a bit more difficult to keep up with my insane spinning, kickboxing, running and weightlifting workouts throughout my pregnancy. I had heard/read good things about the prenatal pilates class at Frog Temple Pilates so thought I'd check it out. The first class here is free (whoo hoo), but after that it's $18/class. Or I believe it's $15/class if you buy a package. There were a total of 7 pregnant women in my class. Some of them were due a month before me yet I looked way smaller than me. Hmm...maybe I do need to start doing more of these pilates classes? Our instructor, Emily, was super sweet and perky. She chatted away throughout the class, which definitely made the hr fly by. It was pretty much all your pilates basics, although we stayed off our backs since that's a no-no after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This class would have seemed easy peasy several months ago, but everything is more difficult when pregnant. By the end of the hour I felt like I got in a good workout and a much needed stretch. I'd definitely be up for going to more of these classes, but I'm not a fan of the times. As of now they offer prenatal pilates Tuesday evenings at 7:15pm or Fridays at 4:30pm. I'm more of a morning workout person and if they were to offer more classes in the morning (hint hint Frog Temple) I'd be one of the first pregnos in line to sign up! Oh, and for those of you not pregnant you'll be happy to know Frog Temple has a ton of regular pilates classes throughout the day as well. Check 'em out! read more

A friend of mine dragged me in here for a mat class a few months back and I'm glad she did. I've been back maybe 6-7 times now and have loved each and every class ( I'd go more frequently if my work schedule allowed) The classes are the best way to start a weekend as I leave relaxed and calm. This post class zen feeling lasts several days which is so incredible. Classes are not cheap but worth the price. read more

What happens when a runner tears her medial meniscus & is instructed not to run by her doctor. Well, I ran. Once, Twice, Three times a dumb a*%, Then I finally listened to the medical advice I paid for and looked for alternative jiggly reducing workout. I'm a cardio girl...I need shortness of breath and sweat in order to feel like I got a good workout. This was my first experience even attempting pilates and now I"m hooked! Pilates will not only tone and strengthen Thanks to the amazing instructors, my favs are Randi (owner) and Rose, my abs have been sore and I'm a bit more aware and purposeful with my movements during class. My only complaint would be that the instructor doesn't actually do the moves with you so you've got to look to more experienced pilates goers for a visual. They do come around from time to time to correct you. I've been taking the open mat class ($50 unlimited weekday classes for one month) and would definitely recommend it to beginners. There are usually 5-6 people during morning mat classes. It's not out of the ordinary to see an instructor taking another instructor's class, so you know that these classes are going to work you out! I find it pretty convenient that I can sign up for classes online. Just remember that there's a 12 hour minimum notice to cancel. Another nice touch is that they have extra hair ties in the bathroom just in case you forget or break yours. They only have little wooden cubbies to store your belongings so don't bring anything too valuable. read more

I like this place....the layout is good. They have great instructors. My favorite is Katie T. She is a very thorough instructor....I love her Saturday Jumpboard class. I feel like I get a very great pilates workout with that class. The staff is nice and the space is pretty, well lit and clean. They have a retail section....but I wish they would get rid of the R+F skin Care and get something more exclusive. Or more appropriate for the studio. And more clothing or something....I would shop there with better retail. read more

After class last weekend, I realized that I had never written a review about Frog Temple. I don't even know where to start.... An old high school cheer leading accident has led me down a path of rehab, medicines, acupuncture, etc., for years. My chiro suggested Pilates. I've tried many studios and Frog Temple is it for me! I have made it regularly for the past three years, and not once in that time have I had any incidents with my back. Specifically, due to the lower back accident, my transverse abdominus needed to be stronger. It is because of Frog Temple and their wonderful staff that my life has greatly improved. I'm not being dramatic when I say the quality of my life is 100% better. I would lose three days at work when my back went out. I've been in classes with almost all of the instructors and they are all exceptional. And you know those other studios where you walk in and no one talks to you? That's not Frog Temple - they are nice and welcoming and friendly. Randy, Jillian and Katie's classes are difficult but they have made me stronger and pushed me to do better. In fact, when I can't do a particular move or exercise, Jillian reminds me that it gives me something to work for - I could not agree more! I am finally attending the Advanced Equipment classes and see improvement each month (I can finally do the Snake!). On top of that, all the students in that class are encouraging as well. Thank you Frog Temple for saving my life and my back. I tell everyone to try them out! Ann G read more

Like a drug dealer, Frog Temple Pilates gives you your first class for free. But after working that body Joe Pilates style for an hour, you'll be hungry for more...but guess what? You gotta pay, buddy, if you want to stay in the game. Or, at least, in shape. I dragged my mom down to Frog Temple for a semi-private class with an instructor. She had us on almost every piece of equipment in the house, bending over this and grabbing that and raising and lowering ourselves on this. She was friendly, provided good corrections and had a big smile the entire time. Mom was charmed. The next week I dragged my boss down for his first ever mat class. My boss is a big muscle kind of guy...he's got single muscles bigger than my entire body. And yet he strained to keep up with the exercises, particularly the core exercises. This free class had only 6 students, so again our instructor was able to provide corrections and encouragement, particularly to the first timers. While I enjoy the laid-back attitude of the studio, it does differ in methodology from the way in which I was trained. I recommend it highly to those who are new to pilates or who have trained with folks from the Colorado school. If you have a New York school background, Frog Temple may not be your new home...unless you are a more adaptable person than I am. read more

I do not know how they do it, but the instructors at Frog Temple have a wonderful way of making the horrid burning and shaking of your abs and butt from Pilates into an enjoyable experience. Every class here that I have taken has been excelent. All of the instructors have their own style, so each class has a unique flow. However all of them will leave you with that familiar burn the next morning. I like taking both equipment ad mat classes just to keep things interesting, but they are always offering boot camps, or other combo classes to add even more variety into your workout. Class sizes are nice and small so they dont just bark moves at you, but will come over and fix your form and give a little encouragment when needed. If my pocketbook and abs would allow it, I would be here every day! read more

Wonderful, wonderful experiences at Frog Temple. The space is perfect, the instructors are knowledgeable, and the prices are reasonable. They offer a plethora of classes at all different times - you will be able to find something for you. I have been going to Frog Temple since January 2009 and I cannot say enough good things about them. I have been touch and go for the past 6 weeks, and once I needed to leave class early... my instructor called my home to see how I was doing. Top notch instruction. I love love love Frog Temple. Your first class is free. Try it. Parking is difficult but public transportation is nearby. Enjoy! read more

So everyone knows that real beauty is on the inside, not the outside. Well, maybe, but did you know that one of the most gorgeous parts inside of you is your spine? Yes, that long series of bones and discs and nerves is where all the magic happens. And if you treat your spine well, it will be a shining, glowing example of the Fountain of Youth -- forever fresh and unspoiled, flirtatiously flexible and attractively bendy. With my former beloved Pilates studio at a new downtown address, I was bereft and lost. Where to go without feeling singled out because of my lovely lady lumps? Where would I feel comfortable in a land stereotypically populated by taut boyish ballet bodies, perky non-asses, and thighs that did not touch on the inside? I put off making a decision, content to sweat it out at Bikram classes and occasionally hit the gym. Finally, as my lower back was aching for some Pilates and my stomach muscles needed to get their ass kicked, I decided to go for it. Knowing that Frog Temple had been around for several years, I checked out their website and was very impressed with the tone and tenor of the studio. I snapped up a VERY reasonable new client package, and arrived in April of 2010 for a private session with Rose. HOLY HELL Rose kicked my ass. But she did it in a way that absolutely respected my boundaries and weaknesses and because I could relax into her expert direction, the workout I got was STELLAR. She kept me moving, stretching, crunching, tucking, lifting and flexing for what seemed like a year but was only an hour. I love getting my ass kicked by those in authority, so I was HOOKED. Since then I have taken a handful of group classes on the mat and the equipment with several other instructors, including Randi, the owner, who was also AMAZING. She talked about lines of energy going up and down the body, and attached the concept back to the breath and the movement and it was AWESOME. She also encouraged me to make modifications without sacrificing form, and again, I really appreciated the fact that my pudge was not a negative factor in the session. I also have seen a range of body types coming to all types of classes, which is fan-freaking-tastic. So now post-Saturday morning session, my spine is radiant with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes (metaphorically, of course). My beautiful spine and I are definitely going to invest in more Pilates sessions at Frog Temple! read more

I don't typically write reviews, but this place has made such a positive impact on my pregnancy that I felt like I had to help get the word out. Before I was pregnant, my primary workout was running with some strengthening and yoga mixed in, but sadly, I wasn't one of the lucky ones who could continue running far into their pregnancy. I continued with some cardio at the gym, but felt lost as to how I could safely strengthen while pregnant. I heard great things about Frog Temple and was so happy I checked them out! Not only are the classes wonderful at strengthening, but the stretching feels out of this world and helps to ease those aches and pains that come along with a growing belly. Marcia is a fabulous instructor who offers wonderful insight and advice throughout the classes. I am 21 weeks pregnant and plan to stick with my Frog Temple classes through my pregnancy and beyond! read more

I've been attending both mat and reformer classes at Frog Temple for a few months now and really enjoy this studio. I've been to a few different Pilates studios in the city and this is definitely one of my favorites. The instructors are very knowledgeable and hands on. The classes obviously vary by instructor, but I have yet to take two classes that have been the same. If you're like me and you like variety and a challenge in your workouts you should definitely give them a try. My only complaint is the entry/waiting area. If there's a class going on upstairs and downstairs it's very busy and tight in the tiny waiting area. read more

I've been going here for almost a year and I absolutely love it. I started doing regular mat classes and then transitioned into prenatal classes once I got pregnant. The instructors for both have been amazing. I have to call out Marcia, though, because her classes are outstanding -- especially prenatal. She is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to detail, and she has a great sense of humor. I leave this class feeling light and comfortable -- rare sensations for a pregnant woman. They also offer postnatal pilates, which I had never heard of before. I look forward to trying it once baby comes. I've been to many Pilates studios over the years and this one might be the best. I highly recommend it. read more

This studio is a must! I went today thinking it would be an easy workout and a nice compliment my running. The Mat Pilates class worked me for the whole hour and I discovered muscles I didnt know I had. The core control needed in this class is amazing. I'm hooked! The staff was very friendly and the instructer was very attentive. She continually came over and corrected my poses, and gave positve feedback. Plus the first mat class is free to all newcommers. read more

Frog Temple offers your first mat class FREE! How can you not try it out? I went last night and there were only five ladies in the class total. (I did notice a few dudes walking through the place as well.) Amanda, the instructor, is adorable and not in an intimidatingly adorable way. She was able to ease us into some really strenuous exercises. At the end of the class, my back and quads were already feeling the burn. I was very impressed. The studio is small but quaint. If you are turned off by big, meat head or trendy gyms, this is a great alternative. There were other personal training sessions using the nearby equipment going on during the mat class. It wasn't really too distracting though. Nice soundtrack as well- Post Service and other indie mixes. The actual classes cost $18 which imho is a little steep, but there is discount buying a package. I will go back and probably for a class taught by Amanda. read more

Dropped in for a Friday mat class with Christina and I will definitely be back. She was energetic, focused, and made adjustments when necessary. I am really hoping to come regularly! My only gripe, and it isn't the studio, it's the crowd there--was there were a few regulars there that were complaining about the mat class being larger than usual (there were 8 of us)....and basically said that all the new people were resolutioners. I'm an avid ultramarathon runner and lift weights regularly. I'd like to add Pilates to my regimen to prevent injury and encourage flexibility so I'm hardly a resolutioner. I guess there are snobs in every athletic discipline :) That said....I will be back!!! I loved Christina! read more

Best Pilates Studio in the Universe!!!! Don't forget to Breathe...

BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! I have to admit, I've never used that phrase before, but I'm so happy to use it here for such an incredible place! I have taken Pilates lessons at several locations in the city, but none compare to Frog Temple Pilates. After reading all of the glowing yelp reviews, I decided to check this studio out. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and the owner, Randi, gave me a tour and got me set up with lessons. I knew immediately upon meeting her that I was at the right place because she was so welcoming and friendly, and the studio is beautiful. I've been taking private lessons from Jillian and she's amazing! She so sweet and friendly, and her knowledge of physiology is super impressive. She has already helped me tremendously with lower back pain and sciatica. I feel so luck to have found Frog Temple Pilates and look forward to many more lessons there! read more

I found this place based on a recommendation from my marvelous Pilates instructor in LA. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Similarly trained in the Boulder method, owner Randi Whitman is, simply, brilliant. Deeply knowledgeable, intuitive, paradoxically laser-focused and laid back, Randi will insure you learn Pilates from the inside out... or more deeply hone the skills you've already developed. I've also had the good fortune to take private classes with several other instructors as well as group classes. All are different, with varying strengths. But each is just excellent. I'm really getting into the group classes because the energy comes from other people; it's not solely up to you! All in all, just a great place. I go there twice a week and cannot imagine my life here in Chicago - much less my health - without it. read more

Marcia is the best prenatal and postnatal pilates teacher for pregnant and postpartum mamas around. You can actually take out the word 'pilates' there and it's still true. And she's done a remarkable job translating her class to online. I truly don't know how my body and mind would have fared through this Pandemic postpartum phase without her classes and the community of moms she brings together. She's a rare combination of incredibly wise and intuitive about healing and strengthening bodies, a fantastic teacher (who is good at offering adjustments and cues through video conference), and just funny and a delight to be around. I hope all the pregnant moms sign up for her virtual class (and in person when she's back online). It's just such a gift. read more

I love Frog Temple and am so happy I found it! I've taken Pilates for years and am convinced this is the best studio in Chicago! I feel so good when I leave, sleep better, have less stomach issues and joint pain and all around am healthier because of this studio. The instructors are so knowledgeable and I've learned so much about my body. Give it a try! read more

I am a Pilates Instructor turned Physical Therapist who is a huge fan of Frog Temple Pilates. I've been coming here for 5.5 years. Randi and her team are knowledgable and passionate with great intuition for efficient movement that will translate to how you move not only in Pilates but also in life. While I'm there I have fun and feel pushed to challenge my limits of strength, endurance, and balance, and when I leave I always feel like a million bucks. Bonus they're really fun and always good for laugh!! read more

Randi Whitman owner of Frog Temple Pilates is a true professional. Her studio teaches classic Pilates and under Randi's tutelage her instructors pay constant attention to detail and correct body position. Can't say who is my favorite because every instructor is great and their diverse way of teaching makes your Pilates experience never boring. From the first few times you attend classes you see and feel the difference in your body strength and flexibility. Most of her instructors are meticulously trained by Randi and apprenticed for a year or more before they begin teaching at her studio. I've taken Pilates classes at various studios and spas but in my opinion, Frog Temple offers the best read more

I thought Frog Temple was pretty good. They have fun, energetic, friendly instructors. They let you try your first class for free - so really, there is no reason for you not to give this place a shot. The studio space was decent. It has more room than other studios I have tried, but I would be surprised if you could fit more than 8 or so people in a mat class. They also had a lot of pilates apparatus. I have not tried those, but they seemed to have a decent selection of those. read more

Pilates is something I spent about 3 years working up to. I mean it looked cool in all of my Google searches about it. Something about all the people in the pictures appealed to my inner child who still wants to do somersaults and handstands. But inevitably I would look at the schedule and realize I couldn't a) afford said classes or b) make the ridiculous times of said classes. Who works 9 - 5 and can leave for a 945 am or a 330 pm class? My boss would love it if I walked out of a meeting stating Pilates as my reason for an early departure. Riiiigggghhhhtttt. Anyway, Frog Temple surprised me when I found them. The classes are very reasonably priced in comparison to many other studios, the schedule is actually achievable with classes starting at 6 am for the early riser and also into the evening for those of us who are ready to burn off some steam after 5 pm. If you are lucky enough to take a class with Marcia, I promise you will be hooked. She is hilarious, smart and very witty, and she knows more about your pelvic floor and fascia than you will ever want to know. She's the reason I have not strained my back in about a year despite long plane rides and continuous treadmill running. Pilates has become my new therapy. Going to her class about once a week means my posture is about 85% better; my treadmill time is not plagued with "ouch that hurts, I'll just run through it pain" moments; I have strength in places I never knew I even had muscles and my stress levels after leaving are minimal thanks to her bright and lively commentary. You will go into her classes tense and potentially in pain and leave lighter, happier, and stronger after the work she's going to put you through. Oh and you will have learned something new. Definitely check out Frog Temple but be sure to leave me a mat in Marcia's class. read more

As a guy, I'll admit I originally thought Pilates was just for women. I had serious back issues; my doctor would keep mentioning yoga and pilates, but I ignored him for years, instead trying monthly back adjustments, pain killers, and massages, but nothing would help. Then it got to the point where I literally could not walk more than half a block before my right psoas would give out, and I knew I had to do something. In physical therapy, they mentioned some of the exercises were Pilates exercises, so I "caved in" and started taking private sessions. I never went back for a back adjustment ever again! Years later, I'm sure I quality as some kind of Pilates nut, but hopefully in a good way. To me Pilates is not just a work out, but an Investment. It may not be as cheap as sitting on the couch, but I want to be guy in the retirement home doing handstands, not complaining about lower pack pain (i.e. weak abs), having a hunched back. In my case, it was a priority to invest my time and money back into my body at a studio vs. just watching a DVD; I've got enough bad habits that I need someone to correct by form (and make sure I actually get to exercising!) vs. "hoping" I'm doing it right and using my stronger, overworked muscles instead of targeting a really small, weak muscle that really needs the challenge. I have been working with Amanda at Frog Temple for 3 years now, taking private classes every week. The sign of a quality instructor is one that can take you just past what you think you can do, correct your form, make you struggle, celebrate with you when you succeed, and then amazingly keep showing you harder exercises EVERY TIME you think you've finally reached the top- but that makes you laugh instead of cry: and there you have Amanda in a nut shell! I recently also started adding mat and equipment classes into my mix, and I'm happy to say all the instructors give me a good work out. Yes, guys may be in the minority, but I feel welcome and challenged, regardless of the type of class. All of the instructors know how to mix things up: giving alternate positioning for beginners, intermediates, and advanced students all at once. If you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and challenging Pilates studio in the Wicker Park area (regardless of your skill level!), check this place out! read more

if you are in Chicago, and are willing to try anything to improve your relationship with your body before, during, and after having a baby, then I have a suggestion based entirely on personal experience. Get in your car, on the train, bus, or by foot to pilates class with Marcia Brenner at Frog Temple Yoga in Bucktown. She melds exercise with therapy by slowly and gently helping women find access to their bodies in ways that respect emotional and physical pain barriers. Rather than pushing through, she welcomes women to sink into their sensations, noticing what happens and how the body wants to repair itself. Using guided imagery and irreverent humor, it becomes safe to feel curious about what's happening on the inside. Marcia's therapeutically informed approach to exercise is great for women during pre and postnatal development, as well as for women seeking alternative avenues to strengthening and healing the body they were born with. read more

Frog Temple saved my back. I'd been nursing a herniated disk for several months using steroids and physical therapy to no avail. I started training with Frog Temple twice a week for the last year and I'm now almost pain free. Big thanks to Randi, Katie, Jeanne and all the staff who run such an exquisite studio. Randi is always experimenting with class offerings to keep things interesting. Also, I've been to several studios across the country and Frog Temple offers the most challenging mat classes that I've been to, by far. You will sweat. You will be sore. It's a lot of fun. I wish I had a sixth star that I could give Frog Temple. They changed my life. read more

This Pilates studio is great... as long as you don't have kids! I joined as a new mommy (trying to regain strength and lose those pesky post-pregnancy pounds!) I had newborn twins and my schedule was HECTIC. I was a client for a few months before I had to cancel because my childcare canceled. Frog Temple enforced a policy to charge me for the full session ($80) even though I was not able to attend. This is a tough policy for moms to uphold!!! I have since found an amazing studio (with a more personal approach to customer service.) read more

Simply the best. I've been going to Frog Temple for about 8 years and have had nothing but positive experience. I've done mat classes with just about every teacher, equipment classes, and private lessons. When I moved across town, I tried every other pilates studio that is closer to my house and nothing compared. So now I commute a half hour twice a week because Randi and her team are worth it. P.S. Prenatal classes with Marcia are also the best... it's hard to find informed and sensitive trainers who will still push you a bit while you're pregnant. Marcia nails it. Both my babies were easy births and I credit a lot of that to my "pelvic floor"! read more

Great pilates spot, but a bit pricey!! I'm looking forward to trying their $5 mat classes that they offer with new instructors.

I just started going here a week ago, and I can already tell you that it's FABULOUS. In fact, if I had enough money, I would buy all my friends and my family a Frog Temple pilates package for Christmas. I've taken 4 classes so far, all with different instructors, all with different personalities and styles. I don't think I will get bored doing pilates here. I already notice that my posture is better and my abs "hurt so good". Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get in shape. I'm hooked. read more

Love Frog Temple! They introduced me to and made me a life long believer in the power of pilates. They have amazing instructors and they really make an effort to know everyone in the class and make sure they have a great experience. Their prices are a little steep (as are all other boutique studios), so I go when I can afford to. However, they are truly awesome about extending packages and helping you out if you ever need it. Truly great!! read more

I just started pilates for the first time in my life. Within the past two weeks, I've seen an increase in my strength and mobility. I was having trouble with the rollover movement during my first two mat classes. By the third class, I was able to control this position and I felt much stronger. I also noticed that the pain in my left shoulder seems less noticeable during my practice. Frog Temple Pilates is very supportive and their instructors provide detailed instructions. In particular, one of their instructors, Katie, has been really wonderful and patient as I learn the pilates movements and positions during my training sessions. She is keenly aware of what is happening to your body, what muscles you are/or are not using, and is quick to correct the position of your body. Additionally, her ability to explain to a layman what is happening to the body is quite helpful in making sense of the movements/positions. I'm addicted! I'm looking forward to seeing my body change and having more control over my body's alignment. I highly recommend Frog Temple Pilates. read more

Can I just say "I LOVE PILATES AND I AM HOOKED"!!! I went today and I to also thought it would be an easy workout and boy was I wrong. If you want to have great abs this is the class to take. It was a bit hard for me but what I loved about this place is that it was only 7 people in the class and the instructor Eileen was really attentive and helped me correct my poses. At the end of the class she said I did great and provided additional info on the types of classes that a beginner should take. I will be going back this Thursday!! I definitely give this place 5 STARS!!! read more

Frog Temple is a great place to work out. If I go a week without doing pilates, I feel like my posture starts deteriorating - it really helps to keep me lined up and feeling taller and stronger. Since doing pilates over the past 4 years, I have actually GROWN 1/2 inch :) All of the instructors are GREAT, so pick a class and go! Your first class is free, so you can't go wrong for trying. The studio is very nice and relaxing as well. And you can get great massages there - nothing better than getting a good workout and a massage afterwards! read more

At a relatives recommendation, I looked for a prenatal Pilates class and found Frog Temple. I have taken a few classes with Marcia so far and love it. I can already feel the difference between this pregnancy and my first. My back aches less (noticed this after the first class!!) and I feel so good. Marcia gives a great class (each one has been totally different so far) and gives personal attention, walking around and correcting positions, helping you feel WHAT you are supposed to feel so you do each stretch correctly. I would highly recommend Frog Temple and especially Marcia's prenatal classes. Classes are expensive, but I was able to come out with it costing ~$12 per class. First class was free and awesome. I then bought a 5 for $55 new client package and plan on purchasing a 10 prenatal/10 postnatal package that should get me through my pregnancy and beyond. read more

Marcia Brenner and Becca are incredible prenatal/ postnatal Pilates instructors. I first came to Frog Temple last year in my second trimester after my Physical Therapist recommended Pilates as ongoing sacroiliac (SI) joint management. Working with them over the course of my pregnancy kept me pain free and saved me a bundle in PT costs. I'm three months post-baby and doing well! Their deep knowledge of the changing "with baby"-body is incredible. With all the various aches and pains my classmates and I had, they were really responsive to tailoring the classes to help us treat the particular problem-points of the day. Their applied knowledge of the pregnant body is impressive, and they takes the time to explain what's going on and how things are connected. Further, they're really great teachers and have excellent mastery of their Pilates classes and audience. I recommend Frog Temple all my pregnant friends! It's the best! read more
