Boutique studio, great location, and variety! With spin, hiit, strength training and yoga. Spin: They poached some of the best instructors from the leading spinning studios for their Peloton concept. The studio has more space than the others in Chicago (hello personal space) and the bikes overall seem like a smoother ride with more consistency between the bikes. I often feel like I get "hard bikes" and "easy bikes" at other studios, but I have never felt that way at Studio Three. Instructors and music are incredible, with a little bit of disco lighting thrown in. I also like that the mini screen has a time countdown, so you know right where you stand. Yoga: Beautiful spacious studio on second floor with natural lighting. The provide FREE mats that are great quality, so I appreciate that I don't have to lug my mat around or can stop by afterwork without bringing a mat to work. Interval: Although I love this style of class, this is my least favorite of the three classes offered. They have Woodways, but the studio is a little crammed and the instruction isn't as clear as Shred415 or Barry's. I also find the changes to be a little time consuming- still a great workout, but compared to similar style classes, I book elsewhere. Front of house is great, always friendly and helpful read more

I'm visiting Chicago from Texas and still wanted to workout. My friends and I decided to do the unlimited week on the recommendation on the manager Chris. We took all three levels of studio three. On the first day we did Spin which they described as rhythmic choreography spin. While I've taken CycleBar in Texas I wouldn't say you get as challenging of a workout here but the instructors energy was a 10/10 in the morning and great playlist. We ask did full body burn which is a orange theory type workout which was very fun and a great switch us. We then did hot flow yoga, the class was very big for a yoga class but the instructor was very nice. With the selection of classes, sweet instructors, and clean facilities I would definitely recommend going to this studio if you're visiting Chicago and still want to get a workout in! read more

Three stars purely for clean, nice facilities and front desk staff. The Amped 45 at 12:15 on a Saturday wasn't worth a classpass credit. It was so bad, I literally walked out 30 minutes in. Shannon blatantly ignored the fact that people were rowing with improper form and not doing the strength training exercises correctly. She also didn't work out once the whole time (so not motivational), had an awful playlist and couldn't keep track of the timing on her intervals. I'm pretty sure I heard "oh I mean 30 seconds, whatever" like four or five times. My friend even asked her for help with proper deadlift form at the end of class and Shannon basically ignored her. After a great experience at another rowing studio, I will not be returning here. read more

Highly recommend Studio Three Purchased an unlimited off peak membership last November. Best decision I've made for my own personal health and fitness. I go to 3, sometimes 4 classes/week and the instructors, facilities, and studios are top-notch. Easily pays for itself because you learn quality moves and good form without being pressured. Each instructor is unique and know how to motivate you. read more

What a workout! I've always been intimidated by cycling, as it looks intense, so I waited to be a little more fit and then went. My suspicions were accurate, it is a great workout. You do at your own pace, but the instructor does tell you which levels to go up and down and how fast to peddle. The competitive spirit in me does not want to be the last in class :) It's a full body workout, not just cardio, as at the end of the class you use hand weights. I had no idea how to set anything up before class, so a staff member was a very good helper and got me all ready and educated. The instructor was high energy, positive, clear, and very fit. The facilities are clean, have lockers that have programmable locks, and there is a coffee shop in the lobby. I shall return. instagram: @chefnatasha read more

Went to a spin class here using my class pass. Pros: instructor was energetic and a great motivator, music was good (pop remixes), place was clean, and provided towels and shoes for free. Staff was very nice. If not using classpass, I believe it is slightly cheaper than FlyWheel. Cons (depending on your style): your stats (RPM, Torque, calories burned) are viewable to the people around you and behind you. I don't really want others to know I'm slacking!! Also, my locker didn't work...I know I put in the right code but it wouldn't open. Thankfully, staff opened it for me and I showed them my ID. Overall, I prefer flywheel because your stats are hidden to others and the facility seemed a bit nicer. I had a good experience here though and definitely wouldn't pass it up on my classpass! read more

I signed up for a Cycle 45 class through Class Pass with Sho. I consider myself as fairly fit but this class DESTROYED me! It was so intense! There a dozens of bikes in the room set up like in a movie theater style, with the instructor cycling at the front. There are cool club-like lights with energy-pumping music. The studio is SUPER clean. The bikes themselves are pretty awesome! There are little screens at the front of each bike, showing you your RPM, resistance, output, calories burned and most importantly... time remaining!! I don't know if the calories burned are that accurate, but I burned 400+ calories in 45 minutes. CRAZY! I struggled SO SO much with putting on the special cycling shoes and strapping it to the bike, but there's an assistant at the back of the class at all times who was super willing to help. He even brought me a towel! So considerate! I felt so great after this class-- I'll definitely be coming back for more classes! read more

I was uncertain about whether to give a three star or a four star review. Tie breaker was the fact that a three star sounds more appropriate for an establishment called "Studio Three." Seriously, this review is written from the perspective of a 48 year old woman with two young kids, and when I am at Studio Three I feel about 65. The millennial vibe is just that thick. What keeps me coming back is that they simply have the best bikes I have ever been on. And the studio is spacious and features cool mood lighting. The bikes are peloton and they feel like you are riding on velvet. The workout can be non-competitive or you can register with Peloton, free of charge, and see where you stand in the class. It does give a middle aged woman a certain amount of pride to surpass the performance of individuals born in the 90s. Studio Three also has yoga, which I don't do. And interval classes, which feature the same completely non-friendly vibe, but that I enjoyed because they include rowing and not just treadmills. Also, classes are slightly cheaper than Flywheel or Soul Cycle, but they seem to have a shorter time limit in which you have to use the credits. read more

On my quest to check out as many cycling studios as I could on my last trip to Chicago, i came to find that studio 3 was my favorite. They met the trifecta of what I look for: an instructor who rides while playing awesome music, great equipment, and a friendly staff. Oh, and the location is great too. I went to Liz C's class and she was challenging without being over the top or obnoxious. I enjoyed her music (a little bit of everything) and respected her for riding the entire time (and perfectly, might I add). On the equipment front, they use pelotons and it became clear very early into the ride that this high-tech bike and it's electronics served mostly to remind me of how much better other people were doing but it didn't bother me. This might be a turn off to some, but it's meant to motivate and i could see how that would happen if you visit frequently. The staff were nice and there's a juice bar up in front, which i can't comment on. I am really interested in the other class options they have here and plan to check them out upon my next visit to Chicago! read more

Studio Three - Ground floor locker area (free lockers!) - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great place to get in shape and meet new people. The classes are exhausting, the trainer will keep you running. Clean facility and nice staff. Could be a little less expensive but it's worth the money. read more

My favorite spin studio in the city! They have the best bikes and the best instructors! I always leave feeling like I got a great work out in. I also love their hot yoga class and high def! Andrea is my favorite instructor for spin and courtney is my favorite for high def! read more

I use ClassPass, so I like to try new things, but Studio Three is consistently in my week to week rotation. Granted, I don't do spin or yoga here, but the HIIT classes are awesome. I love the 45 minute TORCH and AMPED classes - the perfect work out for the middle or end of my work day when I want to get in and out and still feel like I got my butt kicked. Take Liu's class if you can - he focuses on form and making sure that you get the most out of your 45 minutes, and I always learn something from him. The facilities are very nice, great for a quick post work out shower, and they have everything you need to get ready to go to (or head back to) work. Haven't tried the juice bar, but I've heard good things and it's a nice amenity to have. tl;dr - If you want a great, efficient workout with instructors who know what they're doing, AND you want the amenities of a high end studio, Studio Three is perfect for you. read more

This is the first review I'm written but I want to make anyone that is wavering about going to their first class to feel at ease. I can't compare the spin class to others because it was my first one. I can say the employees from the coffee shop to the front desk to the bike attendant Juan (I hope I'm spelling that right) were so kind. I was extremely nervous being new to spinning and working out in general and they made me feel very comfortable. I was panicked for no reason. I recommend just getting out and trying it no matter how anxious you are. You will feel right at home and amazing after. Thanks again! Jessica read more

So...I signed up through Class Pass and it was my first time taking a spin class. I freaking loved it. The setup is good from a check in process. The side area is a bit of a cluster (they could use more seating for getting your shoes on and off) but it clears up quickly. The studio isn't that big but it doesn't seem that crowded given how many people are in there. The workout was awesome. I was dripping sweat and it was like a club but you torch 500+ calories and it flies by. I'll be back!!!! read more

I'm going to go ahead and update this to five stars. I have been back to Studio Three many times since my first experience, and both the cycling classes and the staff are what have kept me returning. Raul, who helps people get set up on their bikes prior to class and is there for assistance during class, is absolutely wonderful. He takes the time to make sure that you are comfortable on your bike, and he will even go get you water during class if you run out! (I think he is also teaching some classes now). Other staff members have also been kind and more than accommodating--when I was running late to class recently, the girl at the front desk (I wish I remembered her name) offered to hold on to my coat and bag so that I could rush into class, which was extremely helpful. Some of my favorite cycling instructors are Antonia, Dani, and Sho, but I've had great experiences with all of the instructors I've had here. I look forward to returning often and may give yoga or interval training a shot too! read more

If Studio Three was in the 'burbs I would happily be a founding member. They have cornered the major motivator behind working out (for me): variety. You might be saying - Nicole, there are lots of gyms that offering variety. And you'd be right - I could go a gym for the varied cycling, cardio, and yoga, but Studio Three amps up the ante. Why? 1) The studio is gorgeous. So clean, modern and filled with thoughtful amenities. And there's a juice bar. Comon' now. 2) Cycling shoes, towels, and yoga mats are all taken care of. 3) The staff is all incredible friendly and welcoming (to all levels of fitness). 4) I had a love/hate relationship with the Torch class. Even though it was pretty damn challenging, Dustin was an awesome instructor and I loved the variety. 5) The breadth of classes is interesting - from music to exertion. Studio Three, please come out to the 'burbs. I'll be your BFF. read more

Came in to grab a smoothie. What place doesn't accept cash??????!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of world do we live in where a piece of plastic with virtual money takes over real cash?! This is ridiculous! My brain denies to understand it. read more

I Love this place because it's clean and they have a good instructors. Sometimes they have a new spinning instructors and they also put too much of a rap music which is very dreadful. Love sayre and her music, Andria amazing music, Antonia the best,Abby and Jen, heather best torch class instructors. Bottom line is to see if it's for you they give free passes. read more

This studio is pretty arrogant - I made the mistake of coming back a second time because I forgot how arrogant they were the first time. Meredith and others on the management team are completely inflexible on allowing for changing classes around. I went to their interval class which was subpar. They must think they're in New York or LA and that people want to be treated with very little regard and keep coming back. Don't bother - there are too many places to go in the area that have a similar or better quality where they hold customer service in a higher regard. read more

Finally tried the interval/HIIT class and it thoroughly kicked my ___. I did the arms and abs, it was mainly rowers and treadmill (but this varies by type of class and instructor). An extra star for being the most calories I've burned during a HIIT class. It was primarily cardio since the focus was on abs and arms but it's what I needed. I've gone to Barry's, Orange Theory and Crosstown Fitness, etc. Studio Three is truly a premium studio and you can tell where your money is going. read more

100% the best place to sweat in Chicago - whether you want spin, yoga or boot camp classes. Preferably all 3. All of the staff and coaches are top notch!! I love that with an unlimited pass I can double up most days that I am in town and come out feeling like a million bucks. If I had any constructive criticism for Studio Three it is that in the winter with everyone lugging in boots, parkas and extra large gym bags, the ladies change room is super crowded during class transitions. Not a big deal in my books. Stay after for a smoothie or wrap from the cafe! read more

Probably my favorite studio in the city. Started to come here via ClassPass and a recommendation from a friend and I'm blown away by how amazing the classes, instructor, and facility is every time I go. Peloton classes are such an amazing workout, EVERY TIME. Dani, Wes, and Antonia are my favorites. Same goes for TORCH which I can't get enough. And you can't forgot the bomb ass post-workout smoothies from their cafe. UHMAZING. read more

I have been to this gym 5 times in 5 days. I cannot stress this enough - it's phenomenal! I have taken four spin classes and one HIIT class. Peloton is unlike any other class that I have tried (FlyWheel, Soul Cycle, etc). Erin and Antonia had so much energy and the classes were so well coordinated! Before you know it, you'll be out of there in 45 minutes and drenched in sweat. As some of the reviewers mentioned, the room is huge so you are not on top of the person next to you. They had a soft opening and every day that I attended, I was greeted with smiles and help at the front desk. Jason, the manager, was all over the gym giving tours and answering questions from everyone. The entire staff was asking for feedback and ways to improve. They listened to suggestions from every single person there. The facility is gorgeous and I will certainly be back once they open on Wednesday. Give it a shot - the first class is cheaper than most of the gyms in River North and you have nothing to lose! Just be warned...you'll be hooked! read more

I tried Studio Three through ClassPass. It was AMAZING! I have only done Torch and Amped (HIIT classes) so far and I love them. Lucy and Dani are great. I took one with Josh, and it was just ok. If you like good music to work out to, definitely go with Lucy or Dani. The reason I can't give Studio Three 5 stars is because it's so expensive! You can only go 3 times per month with ClassPass, and if I wanted to go more, it is $200-300 per month. Even if I just did HIIT classes for a month, it's $200. I would love to join, but it's too much for a gym. read more

I went to a Sunday morning spin class via ClassPass with Audrina (?) and it was awesome. Everyone was really friendly, great facilities and the class started/ended on time. Definitely recommend! P.S. Don't bother bringing your own cycle shoes because they have special Peloton shoes for you to wear. read more

My favorite spin studio in Chicago. I was devoted to Flywheel before Studio Three, but the two don't even compare. The bikes are the nicest I've ever been on and the facilities are impeccable. My favorite teachers are Dani, Jeanine and Andrea. I appreciate that they actually have A/C in the spin room, unlike some other studios that I swear keep the A/C off to make you think you're working harder than you are... I took one star off because I attended a Torch class, and found it to be a watered-down version of Shred415. In addition, the room was so hot that I had to leave halfway through the class. I'll stick to spin here. read more

I joined Studio Three the week it opened. When I moved to Chicago I was disappointed with the (lack) of quality yoga classes and community I found here. That all changed once I found Studio Three. The studio is beautiful and peaceful. The instructors are friendly and offer great adjustments and instructions. Gina's is my favorite yoga class to attend - you will be challenged, stretched, and sweaty by the time you leave. The 75 minute class is the best option if you're looking to grow your skills. Free mat and towels also make and unplanned after work workout possible. I've also been to the other two studios. The peleton bikes are the smoothest spin bike's you will ever ride on. Class is upbeat and fun. I was really nervous to go to a HIIT class in the basement - weights and intensity are things I shy away from. Kiley was welcoming and upbeat while still pushing you to run a little faster or lift a little heavier. My only real complaint is the cancellation policy - accurately knowing your day and your health 12 hours ahead of time is hard. The other thing to watch it for is the dressing room during peak hours. If you're in a rush budget plenty of time to get in and out. read more

This is my favorite spinning studio in Chicago. The studio is big and clean, and they have Peloton bikes, which are amazing. My 5 stars goes out specifically to the Friday 5:30 classes with Sayre M. who is the sh*t. Her classes are always fun and challenging, and she has great taste in music (I love working out to EDM!) Last time I went to her class, I had such a massive exercise high that I'm pretty sure I had an out-of-body experience. I always leave feeling great and starting my weekend on a positive note. One tip - book your class ASAP because they fill up fast! read more

Love love love this studio! Why? Well... 1. The locker room. It's spacious (both small and tall lockers you don't need to bring your own lock for), has razors/shaving cream, and ~7 showers. Morning classes can be a bit crazy, but you`ll get a shower and out the door in time. Only downside is only 3 or 4 hair dryers. 2. As a frequent spinner (Soul, FlyWheel, Equinox) this definitely ranks up there with my favorites. It combines the competitive aspect of FlyWheel (Screens on your bike with a scoreboard which you can opt in or out of) with the motivation of Soul (but not the whole Namastay aspect). I also love that the bikes aren't on top of eachother, so you`re not dying of heat as I typically am in Soul studios. 3. It's on ClassPass. I don't personally have ClassPass, but I have FOMO daily about it and bring my friends who do have it with me to class. 4. They have HIIT classes without the treadmill. My alltime favorite workout is Orange Theory, and although I can't do it anymore due to the impact, their AMPED HIIT class doesn't use running on the treadmills. Torched does, so if that IS your thing, they have that too! (Just no heart rate monitors). Wes is awesome-- he does Thursday mornings 7am! 5. Staff is super friendly and there's a juice bar out front if you need something post workout. 6. They have Yoga too, so really- whatever type of workout you want, they have. (Haven't done the yoga but felt I should throw that out there as an FYI for all you Yogis) read more

I heard so much about Studio Three and decided to check it out last weekend. Since everyone was raving about the spin class, I signed up for Antonia's class on Sunday and it was mind-blowing. The staff at Studio Three ensured that prior to the spin class, you positioned comfortably in your seat and that you were having a good time. This was fabulous since I never took any spin class before. Antonia was super energetic and she owned the room. She had great music list and a cheerleader and actually cycled most of the time with you. The music was on point and everyone was having a good time. The shower room was equipped with good quality soap and shampoo that won't give you skin allergy. The fact that the Real Good Juice co was situated there was also superb to hydrate post work out. I enjoyed the class so much that I came back the next day for 6 am spin class with Antonia. FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE! Except the fact that I have to use a hefty portion of my paycheck for the unlimited monthly cycling membership.... Note: It's been 4 months since I joined Studio Three - loves most of the spin instructors: Erin, Andrea, Melissa, Liz and Jeanine! read more

I'm visiting Chicago for work and found S3's 6am Hot Power Flow class through an internet search. The studio was conveniently located within walking distance from the Gwen and Marriott hotels in downtown Chicago and had several options for before and after-work classes. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful facilities, complete with large class rooms, clean locker rooms, and free yoga mats and towels. The staff was very helpful and friendly when I arrived and was clearly new to the studio. The 6am Hot Power Flow group was a mix of regulars and a few fellow newcomers. The group was focused and experienced (I'd recommend it for people with a yoga foundation) and the class / flow sequences made for a great workout. I can't wait to return for another class! read more

This place pretty much has it all. Whether you're into yoga, internal, or spin, they cater to everyone. I can't vouch for any of their yoga classes since I've only taking Hi-Def upstairs (where the yoga studio is), but this heated class offered the same intentional breathing exercises as a normal yoga class would plus some strength and cardio. After 60 minutes, I was DRENCHED in sweat. I've taken countless spin classes at this point. Their bikes are top-notch and updated, the instructors have been awesome (my favorite is Erin), and the staff stands by during the whole class in case you need a hand with anything from water/towel/weights/etc. I've taken Amped in their HIIT studio once, and like so many others stated, this class kicked my butt. The only reason I haven't been downstairs as much is because I'm on ClassPass and have been using all my classes on spin. Everyone who works at Studio Three is very energetic and friendly, and the whole places is really clean and lively. My only complaint is that the locker situation can get very crowded and hectic at the start and end of classes, particularly on the main level with spin. Aside from that, an added bonus of Studio Three is that they host fun events and stay in tune with what's popular in pop culture. For example, they recently started hosting Monday night happy hour at the Kerryman across the street and had a Rihanna dance workshop. Follow them on social media or sign up for their emails--their branding is on point! read more

Took a power yoga class was Jeanie- very knowledgeable teacher. The class was physically and mentally nourishing while sparking the inner fire for lots of sweat and detox. Would highly recommend, total body revitalization! Also, the smoothie/açaí spot in front has delicious, healthy offerings and friendly service. read more

Let me start by saying I love Studio Three. The classes are amazing and the instructors are all top notch. Torch, hi-def, and 3x3 are my favorites! I live in Lakeview and go out of my way 2-3 mornings each week before work just to go there. My qualm comes with the locker room and that is my reason for the lower rating. Honestly if I didn't have to get ready there after class, my rating would be a 5 (or more!!). They just raised prices (which is fine, I realize this is a thing that happens everywhere), but with that I expect everything to be kept up nicely. There are basically always issues with the locker room. I fully realize these are "first world problems", but when I'm paying this much for a class I need their accommodations to reflect that. This morning they basically ran out of towels, which is a huge problem when you need to get ready there. There are constantly issues with the showers breaking or very low water pressure, the towel hooks were gone at most showers for months, the blow dryers are always broken, sometimes there is no toilet paper, the list goes on. I wish they would keep it up better (and keep up with the towels, or buy more towels) so that the locker room would go back to being the way it was when they first opened. read more

This place is truly amazing. I would ditch classpass and join monthly if I lived closer to it. Yoga studio is bright and clean and gorgeous. I've enjoyed my several classes there (hot but not too hot that you feel like passing out). HIIT Torch (run, row, weight stations) and Amped (row, arms, legs stations) were both extremely challenging but flew by. The instructor Josh for Torch was very keen on making sure everyone enjoyed the workout. I liked the enthusiasm. Can't wait to try the cycle / spin class. There are about 6 showers but the changing area is tiny for 3 studios in one, be forewarned if you're in a hurry and need to change before work. read more

My first visit to Studio Three started off with the girls working the front desk telling me I was 6 minutes too early to come into the Studio for the 5:45 am class and that I should come back when they open. Yep this really happened! It my first visit ever there and the email said to arrive at least 15 minutes early for new clients so I got there at 5:24 am and walked in and I was immediately asked what I was doing there. I said I was new and coming to Lucy's 5:45 am TORCH class. A girl working there said they were not open yet and to come back at 5:30 am. I apologized (why I apologized I have no idea!) and said I was a first time visitor and would do that. It was cold and dark that morning but did go back outside to wait and come back in. I never said anything when I returned but wrote an email them later that morning. I stated what had happened and mentioned that I thought it was poor customer service as well as putting someone in a potential dangerous situation having to stand outside in the cold and dark in downtown Chicago at that time of day. Someone with the initials "KW" wrote back and said "We want our members to have the fullest experience at the Studio possible and our opening staff likely wanted to make sure everything was ship shape before letting members into the Studio." WOW what a nice way of saying we put the cleanliness of our studio before the safety of our clients. So I wrote back and said what does getting the studio into "ship shape" have to do with allowing a client to stand inside by the front door where it is safe and warm? KW wrote back and said she couldn't speak for the person who asked me to leave. Yep that is a typical response from someone who doesn't want to address the issue. How about saying I agree with you and we will talk to them and find out what happened and make sure they know this is not a smart and safe business practice? So after that horrible experience I gave them another shot and went back and found studio staff to be as unfriendly and disinterested as they were on my first visit 60 days ago. Do yourself a favor and head over to Shred415 in Old Town where the workout is better and they won't make you stand outside on the cold dangerous streets of Chicago. read more

The instructors here are top notch. They're a little pricey when it comes to gym memberships but I find it worth it since I actually look forward to going. The Lincoln park location is awesome since the classes don't usually fill up you can wait til last minute to sign up if you aren't sure of your plans. Highly recommend if anyone is looking for a place that will make you commit to working out. read more

First visit to S3 was for an early 45m cycle class. Erin S. was awesome (we had a heads up about this Peloton Master Instructor)...along with the stadium-style cycle studio, Peloton bikes, lighting, sound, playlist. The extras at S3 are great too...locker rooms, shop, smoothie bar (#3!). At $13 / person for a first ride is the best deal in the city. If you enjoy a great workout to start your day right, put Studio Three on your to do list! read more

Studio Three - The club lighting in the Cycle Studio makes for a great class...along with equipment, sound and rock-star instructors - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The spin classes here are incredible and the instructors are excellent. This is my favorite cycle studio in the city. They also just got new bikes, which are awesome. read more

Dropped by for yoga classes while traveling to Chicago for work. Super welcoming and beautiful studio. Would recommend. Also very affordable when compared to NYC. I was also thinking of getting a membership but cancelled after having second thoughts. I got a refund super quickly after sending a quick email to their customer service (also very kind). Great experience! read more
