Flex Pilates Chicago

Great studio! Def get there early because the elevator is so slow.

Grip sock are required (which I hate wearing, but I have them)

The classes and teachers are great!!! Great hybrid style. You will def get a workout and feel "Pilates" good. Doesn't feel like bootcamp, which I also dislike in some hybrid Pilates studios. You'll learn technique, but not all of the traditional Pilates pose names.

I def wish I loved near this studio. I was hesitant at first since I'm a lover of traditional Pilates (classical or Stott), but I love this place!

Flex Pilates Chicago is the best Reformer / MegaReformer Pilates class I've taken! Tracy, Molly, Lauren, & Sophie are amazing and helped me advance quickly from a clueless firs timer ... I've had 3 R shoulder and 1 R knee surgeries and Pilates keeps me active and has improved my golf game tenfold! All the ladies are wonderful and don't forget to check out Tracy's handmade jewelry! You gals are all awesome and I didn't intentionally leave anyone's name out!

No wonder why this studio was voted the best Pilates Studio in Chicago. I just had my first class today and absolutely loved it! This is hands down the best investment you can make into your health and well being. Great location, clean beautiful studio, wonderful people! Lauren is a true professional, with a deep understanding of the body and movement. Highly recommend the experience

I've been going here since they first opened and I have to say, one of the best workouts in the city. I've never seen my body transform as it has from this style of class. The staff is awesome - so friendly and super nice. Love taking private classes here as well-great experience overall.

Took my first pilates reformer class today with Tracy at Flex Pilates. Boy, was it super fun and challenging at the same time. My rectus abdominus was on fire -- then my glutes were on fire. The reformer really does call upon all of your muscles to work in tandem to keep you strong while performing slow, controlled movements. Think you'll just power through it and do things fast? Or cheat to fake the effort hoping the instructor doesn't notice you? Think again, Tracy will notice, but don't worry, she is caring and motivational with her cues. She works with your body and your exercise level to challenge you appropriately. The class sizes are small so you get the individualized attention you'll need.

The space is so beautiful. So while your muscles are working and lengthening, your eyes will enjoy the view of the pretty Chicago skyline. Flex Pilates is located within Indigo Studio. There are no huge signs so remember to carry the address with you during your first visit. Take the elevator to the top floor and find their suite. Allow some time before your first class in case you get lost. Fruit infused water is available which makes the space feel more spa-like! I like this added touch as a standard water fountain might clash with this space. There is only one bathroom (a nice one though) so either plan to get there early to change or come already and ready to workout. Metered parking is available, if you normally drive.

Classes with Tracy at Flex Pilates are perfect for someone new to the reformer or a more advance Pilates enthusiast. I love it here and hope to be back again soon. Thanks for an awesome class today!

Love, love this pilates studio. It's only been two months since I started reformer Pilates here regularly but I love the combination of strength, tone and stretch that the workouts consistently provide. They have a great number of classes available every day both in the mornings and evenings taught by several instructors. I have taken classes with over four instructors and am so impressed by everyone here! They keep things interesting by changing the focus of the classes, allowing for variations, but always insisting good form and challenging the muscles. The location is central, easy parking on the streets, access to the studio is convenient but save and the space is lovely. Absolutely the best!

Super welcoming staff, and friendly class mates. I was new to Pilates and the trainers were super encouraging and educating. This studio made me find a love for Pilates :))

If I could take pilates at Flex every day, I would. It is my favorite and the most effective workout in the world, and Tracy is an incredible instructor. I've tried them all. I still love barre and I believe yoga is life, but Flex Pilates? Will fix you right up. Results right here.

Class is not your typical pilates instruction, although it is certainly inspired by and informed by classical pilates. Flex is much more challenging and far more effective than classical pilates. Everything is done on the reformer and class size is limited to 9 maximum, thus the expense of the class. (The expense has kept me to only attending 1x per week over the past year, and it is the highlight of my week.)

I love the boutique at Flex, too - Tracy has alo yoga gear, Tiny Devotions malas, and cocovit. Just wonderful stuff. I love the studio environment, too. When you're working as hard as you do in this class, the environment helps. Love. (If I ever move, I'd want to come back into the city for this workout.)

The studio is beautiful and Tawney is the BEST Pilates instructor I've ever had. Loved the music, and general vibe of the place. They have a lot of cute workout clothes also, I'll definitely be back!!

I've been on the search for a good Reformer class since I moved to Chicago a year ago and up until I tried Flex, I hadn't found a class that was worth the money for the hour workout. I like to be challenged and pushed but also feel like the instructor is supportive and inspirational: Flex had all of that and I will definitely be going back.
