I really appreciated her telling me about the socks instead of me having to buy them at the studio. She was very helpful. The instructor Taylor L did a great job and asked me about my injuries prior to class. She had excellent accommodations and remember what I told her prior to class. As a former fitness instructor(and someone who used to hire them) she is an excellent instructor. Her explanations were clear, the class flowed well, and she provided multiple options. I also liked the number of participants in the class. Sometimes it feels so crowded but I feel this studio has the right number of participants. If I lived closer I would buy a membership here. I would 100% pay for another class if I'm in town

I love this location! Located in downtown St. Charles it's such a cute area. Initially I was a…read morelittle nervous how the parking situation would be, but to my delight there is a free public parking garage, which makes life so much easier. I'm able to take classes via Class Pass and I love it. The staff is so friendly and what I particularly like is they never pressure you to create a membership with the franchise itself. Unfortunately, for many of my class pass classes that has been my experience. I get it, you want to build loyal customers but no one wants to be pestered. I have no issues being pestered here. You walk in, check in with front desk, put your belongings away, grab whatever materials you'll need for class that day and get settled in. No hassles. The classes are challenging but not impossible, which is exactly what I was looking for. Because of my work, I kinda just pick a day of the week that best works for me. Because of this I have had 3 different instructors and all have been phenomenal. They are patient, helpful, and knowledgeable! It's important to note that grippy socks are required for each class, they sell some at the facility, but it's probably cheaper to buy it via Amazon! The facility is always spotless and well taken care of, you are absolutely going to love this place!

My wife did a trial session here and let me just say thank god it was free. They sold her a ripped…read moreshirt and then when she asked for a new one they gave her a hard time and took over 30 mins to decide to give her a refund. Then all the workers did was whisper about her for wanting a new shirt and make rude comments to each other about my wife. The instructor was incredibly inpatient and rude and talked to her and her friend like she was dumb. For a free session sure whatever but save your money and go somewhere else. Can't believe they would treat a potential long term customer like that. Very disappointed. My recommendation is to take your business elsewhere even if you have to drive farther

I do have to say the view from the pilates studio was GREAT. It over looks the river, really relaxing. I was new to mat pilates and the group i sat in with seemed to be a little more advanced. I felt i didn't get the detailed instructions like remembering to keep my spine imprinted to the mat. little details that would have helped. I thought it was weird that they didn't have a formal changing area. Its a small room to put your things with a curtain but the curtain opens up to the studio. Its a beautiful studio I am currently a member at LifeTime fitness and they have a studio. If I lived closer to Geneva I would consider taking classes there.

If you are advanced, you will still be challenged with Mat classes, the Reformer and Tower. Ben, the owner and his staff are all certified and experienced instructors. No loud music here.

I have also had private instruction with Ben, which I highly recommend, if you want to focus on areas of concern.

I have been taking Agnes classes for 2 years ( took a break while pregnant ) and started back up a month post partum. In the beginner class, you can take it easy as you need if you're starting out and gradually add more to challenging yourself. She changes up her flow and class every week, so you are consistently working different areas of the body. I took yoga classes at random and used to feel it a slow boring waste of time more or less a relaxing class that does "stretching". I love to lift and do intense endurance cardio. It wasn't until going here consistently that I was blown away with the fitness aspect of yoga- the strength/flexibility/core stability/etc. involved. You will be challenged more than you possibly think and I promise the health benefits, both mentally and physically, will surprise you! I highly recommend Melt and the classes here. Side note: The owner rocks.

I was an aerialist for five years, but I have been out of practice (and out of shape!) for the better part of the last three years, following the birth of my youngest. Because I have lost a great deal of strength, finding a studio and instructor who can scaffold instruction is important to me. Rise, and owner/instructor Carrie delivered. The aerial flow class is adaptable to all levels of strength and experience. Carrie breaks down poses and demonstrates to ensure all students understand the mechanics of each pose. It was easy to feel comfortable and confident, and to feel some muscle memory returning. I signed up for a membership and look forward to adding these classes to my fitness regimen. Check out the membership options. The rates are significantly lower than other studios! Check out the schedule, as well- there are plenty of classes throughout the week- Barre, yoga, pilates, and aerial.

I love that I can modify to fit my skills level and that Katie is passionate, knowledgeable and willing to take the time to assist me in those modifications. The energy and vibe is always great, it's different depending on the class and the day and time. Yin Yin is like the yoga version of a massage. My muscles are relieved of all the tension and I leave feeling loose and relaxed. And for those that aren't really that interested in yoga, there is Lindsay H's Delta Sculpt class. It's a high energy, aerobic/strength class reminiscent of circuit training but different. All levels from beginner to advanced/expert can benefit and meet the challenges of this class as there are so many ways to modify to meet your skills level. Lindsay's passion comes through in a contagious enthusiasm and as challenging as it is, it's equally as fun. This studio is filled with genuine instructors who live what they teach, love what they teach and care about the people who enter the doors.
