I've been going to Move in Palatine for about a year and a half and have really enjoyed all my…read moreclasses. I have noticed I am much stronger and more flexible as a result and I have had less lower back pain flare ups. I usually take classes from Erin and Kailley and they are both wonderful. They are knowledgeable, calm, friendly, and create a warm, non-competitive environment where each person is encouraged to listen to their own body and make modifications to the activities if needed. Love it!!

Move Studio, with locations in Linolnshire and Palatine, is the reason why people so often describe…read morePilates as life changing. After taking organized exercise classes for over 20 years, I changed to Move 2 years ago. Attending classes at Move has improved my overall health, strength, balance and enthusiasm for exercise as a way to focus on my physical fitness as a key factor in daily living and as I age. Move's instructors are highly trained, positive and enthusiastic toward each participant's understanding and use of Pilates for both body and mind. Class sizes are small so I always feel the instruction is focused on ensuring I get the most out of each class. I enthusiastically recommend Move Studio.

The best!!! I came…read morehere for my first cycling class ever (your very first class is free for new customers) and I gotta say, it kicked my butt! The trainer, Stephanie, was literally the best trainer ever. So motivational, encouraging, positive, understanding, and just overall incredible. Definitely take a class with her! The studio itself is bigger than it looks like from the outside. It's so clean, modern, and the staff definitely takes care of you. The actual rooms where the workouts take place are pitch black with colored low lights and you can hear the music blasting from them when you pass by. I loved it! Stephanie played great, heart pumping music for our class, too. I will definitely be back here for another class with Stephanie or with other instructors. I'd love to try another cycling class and also different classes since they have so many. Thank you Inspyr for a powerful workout!

It's really tough to describe how amazing this type of workout can be unless you've tried it. In my…read moreyounger days, I beat up my joints doing gymnastics and had the lovely gift of a hip replacement in my late 30s. Trying to stay physically active and flexible after beating yourself up for so long can be frustrating when seemingly most options at a gym will leave your joints wrecked for a week. So let me tell you about my new friend Pilates and "Jump". It was one of the most rewarding workouts I've experienced in a long time. It was challenging, focused, but paced at my own abilities and needs. Additionally, I didn't think the Jumpin would be as great as it was but I felt great the next day. April the owner is a force of positivity as well, she does some amazing outreach and helps support the neighborhood with several ongoing programs, donation drives, and events. She is a great owner to support. So do yourself a favor, and book a class or just stop and say hello to check it out. Lots of easy great parking and a super positive environment!

I attended a Gong Immersion event at Avani Studios at Sky Fitness…read more A gong immersion, or gong bath, does not involve water but instead being immersed in the sound vibrations of a gong, believed to be healing to the body by entering a relaxing or meditative state. I knew what to expect because I had attended a gong bath many years ago. That experience had me falling asleep, experiencing synaesthesia, seeing explosions of light, color and sound, as well as feeling very peaceful and relaxed. This immersion was held in the yoga studio and was at capacity. You set down a mat, and other blankets, with feet in the direction of the gong. (This event had five sound healers and gongs). We started with some stretches and yoga. Then you lie down, palms up, legs uncrossed and listen. It's hard to describe the sound. It's deep, almost like a rumble, kinda like the cymbals, but more than just hearing, I also felt it in my pulse. With five gongs it's almost like a symphony with sounds and vibrations building on top of each other but you don't just hear it coming from the direction of your feet, it seems to be coming from every direction, immersing you in vibration. At this point I went in and out of sleep and certain sounds made my limbs twitch. One certain sound seemed to jolt me awake and I saw yellow or green pops of color (my eyes were closed). After that, I started to get restless and could not stay still and needed to stretch. I think at that point I had enough and it was maybe 10 minutes more (the total gong portion was 75 min?). I felt very tired (perhaps extremely relaxed?) and calm, my eyes were tearing (???), and we then had a short deep breathing and meditation. The gong practitioners were lovely, beautiful souls who promoted peace and healing. I felt at peace and in a more refreshed state of mind than when I started. I would attend another of these events but next time I would bring more blankets.
