I have been going to re:fit for years for Pilates and Gyrotonics. I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout my instructor, Gretchen. When I started going to see her, I had occasional back pain stemming from an old injury and from bad posture. Gretchen helped me strengthen my back, and the Gyrotonics in particular helped me recognize when I was falling into a bad habit, like hunching up my shoulders while sitting in front of my laptop. Today, I am pain free. The whole environment at re:fit is wonderful. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. You feel the presence of a warm and supportive community the moment you walk in the door. They also have a number of alternative health services available, and I've been extremely happy with every service I tried. This business has my highest recommendation.

The instructors are all amazing and will customize your experience to fit your individual needs…read more Anyone, regardless of age, condition, or experience level will benefit from their care and guidance. I have been a customer of instructor Noel for over 7 years. She has expertly guided me to a level of fitness I had not thought possible. Without a doubt my Pilates experience at re:fit is top notch. I have no more low back pain, my original reason for walking in their door. I consider re: fit one of the best businesses in Glenview.

I've been in a little bit of a workout rut with the same classes for awhile now so I've been trying…read moreto switch it up lately. I also am trying to get out of the mindset that a workout has to = cardio and so I found myself at my neighborhood Pilates Studio, The Pilates House. I've taken 3 classes and 2 privates with 5 different instructors (shout out to Amanda, Lila, Karen, Haley and Kate). While all my friends who go here seem to have their favorite instructors (and all different favorites), I've really enjoyed all of their classes. I plan to sign up for more of their classes and try other instructors as well. I've left all their classes feeling like a got a great core workout (among other parts of my bodies) and wondering what took me so long to jump on the pilates train. it's a small studio so there's typically one class of 4 people at the same time as a private at the other side of the studio. Only 4 people in a class at a time means that it can be quite difficult to get into a class, especially as the most popular workout times (8:30 or 9:30am). I've been trying my best to book a class weeks ahead of time, but it still isn't easy to get in. I have had luck with putting myself on the waitlist for classes so highly recommend giving it a shot. And I was told if there's a class that works best for your schedule AND it has an opening you can get a regular spot, but it's hard for me to commit to a certain time and day of week with work and kids. I haven't seen a class later than 12:30pm on the schedule so would be great to see some late afternoon and early evening classes added to the schedule at some point. I'm eager to commit to Pilates at least once a week with the hope that I can get a spot in class each week!

Update: There's…read morestill a lot to like here, but the studio has kind of been eroding since I last reviewed it two years ago. First the good news: they seem to have repaired what was a deeply unreliable and often broken furnace/humidifier -- I was frustrated by going to "The Hot Room" only to find it "The Warm Room" or even "The Cool Room." That said, the disappointing: the old sense of community at this studio is largely gone -- often feels more like a mid-range gym where you show up, do your workout, and leave. Little amenities that used to be there are now gone without explanation. Inflation? Seems as though there are fewer classes than there once were, but that may be perception rather than reality. I especially miss the "open studio" times that enabled one to come in and "practice one's practice" on one's own schedule. Maybe that was just a covid thing? Regardless, it's something that was once included that is no longer there. There has been a surprising amount of turnover in management, staff, and instructors. Fortunately, the best Inferno Pilates instructor has hung around through this, and the new yoga team is very solid. For the most part, the turnover doesn't necessarily bother me from a practice standpoint, but it does make me wonder why people keep leaving... Finally, there used to be a great end-of-week Friday afternoon 26/2 class -- with music. A fun tradition, and a great way to kick off the weekend. Despite repeated assurances from the owner that it would be reinstated, it hasn't been. Again, schedules and classes change and that's understandable -- it's unkept promises that are concerning. So, it used to rock. It's just ok now...but unless you want a long drive, it's kind of the only game in town. PS -- Their cancellation policy is kind of BS. It's one thing to charge no-shows if a class is full and your no-show keeps someone else out. But with a well-managed wait list (which they have) and classes that usually AREN'T full, charging for cancellations within (what I think is now) 6 hours (used to be 12?) is kind of a lame money grab. Bad karma.

I hadn't done yoga since before the pandemic and wanted to do hot yoga. Somehow I stumbled upon a…read morefree class to The Hot Room and decided to take advantage of it. It was really easy to book a class and I thoroughly enjoyed it with Joseph. I downloaded the app and have found it easy to navigate. I love that it keeps your schedule after reserving classes. The things I didn't like are that there are not different levels, and there are no descriptions of the different classes on the app. After my free class they had a promotion for all the classes you can take in two weeks for $59. Without understanding all of the differences or knowing the instructors (some places have profiles on their websites), I booked several classes that worked with my schedule not knowing the differences, and definitely enjoyed two of my three classes so far. I appreciate the kindness of all of the instructors when they realize that someone is new, and the follow-up asking for feedback is nice as well. (I also received text asking how things were going and if I had any questions, yet when I wrote back with a question I never got a response.) A lot of regulars go here, which is encouraging as well. All ages too! I was feeling old but there are quite a few seniors, which made me feel comfortable with being somewhat out of practice. I have enjoyed most of the instructors who encouraged us to go at our own pace and don't single people out or embarrass anyone as some places do. I have come out drenching with sweat but feeling great! I have several classes to go so we'll see if I've found a new yoga home.

I had an extremely frustrating experience at this Club Pilates location. I booked my class through…read moreClassPass several days in advance and received a confirmation. Then, Club Pilates canceled my reservation only about an hour before class. I didn't see the email because I was already getting ready and on my way to the studio, so I arrived expecting to take the class. When I got there, I was told I wasn't on the roster by who I believe was the instructor, Kelly Moore, who was also working the front desk. What made the experience even worse was her attitude. Instead of trying to understand what happened or help find a solution, she repeatedly asked whether I was at the correct location in a condescending tone, even after I showed her my ClassPass confirmation multiple times clearly displaying the correct studio, date, and time. Rather than acknowledging that Club Pilates had canceled my reservation, she made me feel as though I had somehow made the mistake. It truly seemed like she canceled my reservation on purpose to make space for others. Not once did anyone apologize for the inconvenience or take responsibility for the last-minute cancellation. I wasted my time driving to the studio only to be turned away because of an issue that was completely outside of my control. If you partner with ClassPass (which is a choice btw), you need a reliable reservation system and staff who know how to handle these situations professionally. Canceling a reservation only an hour before class with virtually no notice, then making the customer feel like they're at fault, is unacceptable.

PLEASE DO NOT join the location! Beware of lack of communication on HIDDEN fees. I was never told…read morethat I was going to be charged a 199.00 for a so called cancellation fee and in the on-line term it states no commitment or cancellation fees. I was told that they did receive my request to cancel in February but I was charged 199.00 in April and they refused to credit my bank account because I was being charged 199.00 to cancel before 30 days which I stopped attending in January of 2019. Ripoff is an understatement. Janet....when I called your location about the $199.00 charge it was confirmed that I never opened the email that you are speaking of because I did not receive it and me and my co-worker that was also a member was never verbally told about the $199.00.
