Everything was top notch from the moment I entered, to the chic urban design, to the well said cues for a challenging class.

I absolutely love Amplified Pilates. After trying several studios throughout Chicagoland—and even exploring others near my lake house—I can confidently say that nothing compares. Angela, the founder, has created something truly special. Her studio is warm, welcoming, and rooted in the classical method. Every instructor is exceptionally well-trained and takes the time to get to know you, by name. They thoughtfully modify and correct your form so you’re moving safely and getting the most out of every session.

Whether you're brand new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, this is the kind of place where you feel supported, seen, and genuinely cared for. If you’re looking for one of the best Pilates studios around, do yourself a favor and book a session at Amplified.

I started going to amplified 3 years ago. After having my daughter I was experiencing hip pain and was having trouble doing traditional exercises. Angie helped get me back into my body, and I learned to truly love Pilates and what it can do for me. Angie and all the staff are fantastic, warm and welcoming. The environment is open and clean. I highly recommend Amplified for anyone at any level.

I started working with Mandie at 6 weeks postpartum. She’s helped me heal my core and feel so stronger in my body. I highly reccomend to anyone pregnant or post partum that wants to feel stronger and more knowledgeable in this season of life. Mandie also makes you giggle while she challenges you :)

I’ve been taking classes at Amplified for years and it is hands down the best Pilates studio in the city! The space is clean, calming, beautiful and a welcoming vibe. And the instructors are second to none. I’ve taken Pilates classes in other cities while traveling and they do not even compare to the instructors at Amplified! All are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. And class sizes are small, so you always feel like you are getting personal attention. Highly recommend Amplified!

I have been taking private Pilates sessions with Angie since she started her own studio 13 years ago. She is patient, kind, diligent, and counts properly most of the time. I am somewhat of a challenge and she has never lost her temper (although I'm sure she has on occasion been sorely tried). I am very grateful to her and would (and have) recommended her to anyone wanting to take Pilates.

I recently was certified through
the fundamentals and mat Pilates training program at Amplified Pilates in Chicago, and it was an excellent experience. The course was thoughtfully designed and provided a solid foundation in Pilates principles and techniques.

Both Angie and Mandie were skilled and supportive instructors. Their expertise, approachable teaching methods, and enthusiasm for Pilates created an environment that was both engaging and encouraging. They offered clear guidance, valuable feedback, and personalized attention throughout the training, helping each participant to learn and grow.

I came away feeling confident in the skills I developed, and I’m strongly considering continuing my training with them to explore other modules. Amplified Pilates is a wonderful place to learn, and I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained there!

Absolutely love this Pilates studio! It’s clean, organized, and has a calm, private feel. The group classes are amazing—welcoming, never intimidating, and feel almost like private sessions thanks to attentive instructors who check in and make personal adjustments.

I’ve also been doing private sessions with Casey, and she is phenomenal. Super encouraging, creative, and knows exactly how to tailor workouts for me. She helped me go from a complete beginner to feeling strong and confident. Highly recommend this studio and especially Casey!

Amplified Pilates is a gem of a studio. I’ve enjoyed my time there as a client and as a student. I completed a mat training with Angie & Mandie (master pilates instructors) and I learned so much. What they offer is so valuable - they teach in person & offer recordings to review on your own time as much as you like. You get books to refer to with anatomy, precautions, instructions - pure gold. You can ask them anything and they are happy to help. They know so much and are great at teaching it. I look forward to completing the rest of the comprehensive training with them

Loved Amplified Teacher Training! Angie, Mandie, and all the instructors at Amplified were helpful throughout the process. The course material was well-paced, and I made some exceptional friends through the program.

I first went to Amplified Pilates in 2017 looking to become an instructor and it’s best decision I could have made. The Pilates instructor training at Amplified is next level and having taught at multiple studios now I always feel prepared and knowledgeable among my peers. Not only that but I continue to go back to Amplified and take virtual classes from THE Master Instructor Angie! Although, all the Amplified instructors are top notch! If you are considering Amplified to become an instructor or just take a class, etc - I HIGHLY recommend Amplified Pilates!

Training at Amplified Pilates was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Completing their full comprehensive program (mat, reformer, Cadillac, chair, ladder barrel, and spine corrector) was truly a transformative experience. Angie and Mandie created such a supportive and knowledgeable environment, making the learning process both challenging and rewarding.

Not only do I feel fully prepared to begin my career as a Pilates instructor, but I also made some of my best friends along the way. The community at Amplified is so warm and encouraging, and I feel incredibly lucky to have trained here. If you’re considering Pilates instructor training, I can’t recommend this studio enough! I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.

Amplified has the best instructors ever. Everyone here is very well trained. The studio is the biggest I’ve seen with the most equipment ever. This place is seriously always busy with clients coming in and out and classes happening. I recently got my training done here and I’m so glad I got to choose Amplified out of any other training spots in the city. The knowledge I have learned and will continue to learn has made me grow so much. Angie the owner was wonderful and has helped me through the entire process over a span of 6-7 months. I could not be more grateful for the amount of knowledge and training I’ve gained from Amplified. Seriously the best Pilates studio. Mandie, another master instructor is also amazing. I am will definitely be coming back to continue my personal training and practice and grow as a new instructor. 💛🤸

If there was 10+ stars I’d leave as many as humanly possible! I’ve been working out at amplified for the last four years and Angie has truly changed my life! I came to Ang after the birth of my first baby and the attention to the human body and specifically my own unique needs isn’t matched anywhere else. Her team is beyond knowledgeable, kind, and best of the best! I’ve done Pilates all over the city and there is no place like amplified!

I was so lucky to have found Amplified’s program for Pilates teacher training!

With already having a full time personal training position, the class hours on weekends fit my already busy schedule. Originally I was just going to do reformer but once I was almost done, I only wanted to keep going and ended up graduating with my comprehensive license which I also highly recommend doing (includes tower/Cadillac/chair/barrel/mat)

The instructor Angie (studio owner) and Mandie are so talented and knowledgeable, my cueing and the way I was teaching improved tremendously! The program includes all the books you’ll need and videos of Angie and mandie demonstrating the exercises so you can always refer back to them!

One other thing I’m rly glad I took was their anatomy weekend which is included in the comprehensive training. It gave me a much better understanding of why we do these exercises and how it relates to the body, and it gave me more confidence as an instructor to be able to explain this to clients!

I plan on doing continuing education through amplified and taking their group classes which are always so fun! As much hard work went into this I will miss seeing them weekly and the group of other students! I can’t recommend them enough 🧡

Teacher Training was the BEST.DECISION. EVER.

After speaking with a few studios around Chicago who offer teacher training, I landed on Amplified because of the reputation the studio and owner have as the premier pilates destination in the city.I embarked on my teacher training with no background in teaching fitness or movement - I felt like a total fish out of water but fully committed to the process accepting that I was going to initially feel awkward and clueless. THAT IS OK - that is when growth happens!

In retrospect, I can now fully appreciate the approach and framework that Amplified and PSC provided. Angie and Mandie taught us to CRITICALLY THINK as instructors so that we can safely, effectively teach to the body in front of us (vs just learning exercise choreography and teaching on auto pilot). Having a full time corporate job, I benefited tremendously from the blended and flexible approach of video/on-demand learning and in-studio immersion weekends so that I could balance learning on MY schedule.
Truly, this program is amazing. The way Amplified taught us the exercises/modifications/variations, the practical tips from real life client experience, the observation, practice teaching, the knowledge check-points; it all helped me retain what seemed like an impossible volume of information. Most importantly, the excellence Angie and Mandie expected from us in our program is because they genuinely care about their students and the caliber of instructors they are sending out into the world.

This review is about the teacher training

My genuine evaluation of this studio, which offers Pilates Sports Center training, is that the instructors here don't really teach you anything, so I would not recommend the program at all.

they send you two to three-hour recordings of them going over every exercise you will learn for that week before they meet with you in person to discuss and do the exercises briefly in four to five hours over the weekend.
I feel like they chose to set up the program in this way to be easy and convenient for them students are paying about 6k to learn from experienced professionals not a video they recorded some years ago as the main source of learning

They essentially just give you the course materials and expect you to learn everything on your own by reading the book and watching the video. If you need more assistance from them, you will have to pay them. Mandie and Angie are unhelpful and only provide you with the bare minimum. I recall them telling us to use the tutoring option if we needed extra help at least two-three times during every in-person session. I need to pay extra money on top of the 6k to get more help from you ??

Students can practice for free with one another, but they also need to practice on a non-student, for which they charge $25 each time.
We should not be charging individuals so much money to practice on them as students this is greed on the part of the studio. I am familiar of many studios where students are free to practice with anyone without charge.

You would think the 6k you pay to them would include free studio practice with whoever but not here at Amplifed

Again I would not recommend this studio for teacher training in any way

As for the Pilates Sports Center training it’s not very good I don’t recommend getting your certification through PSC program

I would say PSC is okay for continuing education but not for new students

I can’t say enough about Amplified!! The studio is beautiful, the classes are small and feel very personal with individualized attention from each instructor to form, and the classes are clearly very well thought out in their progression (something I’m very attentive to as a physical therapist;)…
All of this is enough to set them apart but what really shines here are the instructors, who are passionate and knowledgeable beyond any I’ve encountered before!

Angie and April are THE best!!
5 stars!

I took a reformer class with the lovely Melissa and it was exactly what I needed mentally and physically. This was my first class back on the reformer in over 10 months after having knee surgery last year. Melissa was very considerate of the challenge I am up against with my knee and made sure to modify each workout for me if needed. Class was the perfect challenge I needed to regain confidence in moving my and trusting my body again. Amplified Pilates is truly unmatched !

I’ve had the great pleasure of private sessions with Angie at Amplified Pilates for over 10 years. I have watched her evolution from being a pilates instructor at a private health club to starting her own studio and building it to the amazing space it is today.

She has been fully invested in my health and has customized my sessions based on what my body needs. I am a runner and I am certain that my running style and endurance has improved greatly because of the exercises she tailors to match my needs.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Runner’s Knee and required months of physical therapy. Angie asked for my physical therapist’s phone number and contacted her directly about what she could be doing on her end to help with the therapy. My therapist was amazed that someone would go out of their way to make sure I was getting all of the help I needed.

Angie is patient, knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She has very high standards for herself and her business—you can see that from the moment you walk into the studio. I’ve had sessions with a few of the other instructors and each reflect that same level of knowledge and motivational support.

If you’re looking for an environment where you will leave feeling stronger, more balanced and more connected to your body, schedule a private session at Amplified Pilates with Angie or join a class with any of the instructors. You won’t regret it!

I initially started Amplified pilates because I was experiencing serious back pain postpartum. I had seen numerous physical therapists and nothing really helped. After working with Angie for a few months, my low back is pain free and stronger than ever. Most recently, I had meniscus surgery and I am seeing Angie for my rehab. Additionally, my husband had chronic pain in his shoulder from and outstretched fall in soccer. After 5 years of pain, he is finally on the road to recovery only after a few months from pilates at Amplified. Angie's immense knowledge of anatomy paired with her attention to detail is unparalleled. I am so lucky to have found Amplified and would highly recommend to anyone with an injury or just looking to strengthen their body.

The studio itself is great but the staff is next level. Angie’s instruction has helped me overcome a 5 year long back issue that could not be solved with PT or many other solutions. She is thorough and focused which leads to incredible results. Pilates was never something I considered but is so useful for everyday applications as it focuses deeply into factors that impact postural alignment. Would recommend it for almost anyone and no better place to practice than Amplified!

Amplified pilates is one my favorite places in all of Chicago! I have been to many pilates studios and not only are the Amplified instructors amazing but I love the variety of equipment Amplified has to offer. I specifically love the opportunity to use the Core Align. The Core Align is an amazing addition to the reformer, Cadillac and chair. It provides the chance to focus on getting deep into the core muscles with different exercises and stretches.

No doubt that this is the best Pilates studio in Chicago (but also that I’ve been to and I’m not from here). Most knowledgeable teachers, customized movements catered to each person, great results, and classes that go by so quickly. Mandy and Angie (the owner) are incredible but all teachers are known for being great too. I’ve been going here for nearly a decade but had to take a break during the pandemic. I’m back now, post baby, and my back is instantly starting to feel better because they understood exactly what I needed to rectify my issues. They all genuinely care so much and are super passionate about their work. So excited to be back!! A+ studio with A+ teachers (who also have the cutest personalities).

I have been taking classes at Amplified since I moved to Chicago in early 2020, and recently decided to complete the PSC teacher training program. It had been on my list for a while to start teaching pilates after I had found so many benefits in my own practice. The style of teaching at Amplified really resonated with me, so I thought the training program would be a great fit- and I’m so happy I was right! Angie and Mandie both are incredible teachers that strive to be mentors to everyone going through the program, which was important to me as I established my teaching career. My favorite part about the program were the weeks we had in studio, to work with other students and learn from Mandie and Angie. Most programs have you in the studio for 6 weekends or so, and this program ran from January to May, in studio and virtually every single week. This time really complimented my learning style and allowed me to dive deep into the learning material, so I was fully prepared to start teaching once I was certified. It was also very easy to utilize the studio space to complete my observation and teaching hours required.

It would not be an overstatement to say that Amplified has been my sanctuary for the 4 years that I’ve lived in Chicago. When I first started, I was a brand new to Pilates, but all of the instructors gave me the guidance and attention I needed to learn a lot and build confidence safely in group classes. Angie’s pivot to online classes saved my sanity during the COVID lockdown, and later, private 1:1 sessions with Mandie helped so much with some specific flexibility and strengthening needs that I had. I can’t recommend Amplified or its wonderful people highly enough!

Amplified has been my happy place for the past 3 years. My place to learn, heal, and get strong. I’m so grateful to have found this studio. I’ve learned so much since I first stepped foot inside as a newbie to Pilates in 2018! I came following a recommendation from a physical therapist, looking for ways to help my generalized pain issues, and Pilates has helped me immensely! I was amazed by how knowledgeable, skilled, caring and patient everyone is. Pilates has completely changed my perspective on exercise and self-care. Angie, the studios founder, and Kat, Trainer and Group Class Director, inspired me to dive deeper by taking the teacher training course. I’m a nurse, so caring is my job, but this entire experience has helped me reconnect with my passion for helping others. Now I can’t wait to teach others how to help themselves and heal through Pilates.

I've been a client of Amplified Pilates for over 5 years now and it has kept me in shape both physically and mentally - especially this past year! Their classes - whether on the reformer, chair or MOTR - challenges your body in ways you never thought possible. While all the instructors are great and highly qualified, I've worked with Angie and she has been nothing short of exceptional. While in group classes, she makes positive corrections so each person feels like they are doing the exercise correctly without being discouraged. At the same time, she makes modifications for anything (pregnancy, back issues, etc.), really providing a dynamic one-on-one pilates experience. She even makes corrections via Zoom, which is no easy feat. I love having Amplified a part of my life and supporting a woman-owned business.

I took the comprehensive program where we covered Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Mat and Barrels, helping me master all aspects of Pilates and become a well-rounded instructor. The program strikes a great balance of theoretical learning, but more importantly practical guidance on the equipment and how to work with all types of clients. I really appreciated the small group size and felt supported throughout the entire process. Angie is a great mentor who truly cares for her students’ success – you’re in great hands at Amplified!

Angie and the team at Amplified Pilates are incredible - the best studio in Chicago by far. I first started working out with Angie in 2016 as part of rehab for a back injury & her approach to pilates/wellness has truly changed my life! A year of private instruction with Angie helped me overcome my persistent back issues & since then, have loved regularly attending reformer classes at the studio 1-2 times a week. Classes are always a highlight of my week. Angie and her full team are so incredibly knowledgeable - even though the classes can be killer, they have such a commitment to monitoring everyone's form that you always feel safe. Plus, the studio is beautiful & clean - truly a haven!

Since Covid hit, the Zoom classes have been a complete lifesaver - even though we're virtual, I still get those "shakes" & instructors are as diligent as every about form & modifications.

Thank you, Angie & the Amplified family!!

Hands down best best best Pilates studio and instructors ANYWHERE. I trained with Angie back in 2004 and she kicked my butt then and have continued to seek her out any chance I have. I recently moved away from Chicago and have yet to find a studio that comes even CLOSE to the level of expertise and awesomeness that Amplified has. They are sticklers for form and offer suggestions in a way that motivates and inspires you.

Rehabbing from an injury? Amplified Pilates. Pregnant? Just had a baby? Amplified Pilates. Overall well-being? Amplified Pilates. Are you a dude? Go to Amplified Pilates. They'll kick your ass.. in a good way. My husband does Pilates and he's so much stronger, has been able to recover from his own lifting workouts better, less prone to injury, etc.

I have done all forms of exercise my entire life and when I started doing Pilates on the Reformer regularly (with Angie), it was the first time in my life that I actually noticed a HUGE difference in my body - my posture was amazing, I felt great and looked even better. I seriously could go on and on and on. BEST STUDIO AND INSTRUCTORS you will find ANYWHERE. (I am not affiliated with this studio other than being a paying client for lots and lots of years).

If you are interested in becoming a Pilates instructor or broadening your knowledge of Pilates in general, the Amplified/Pilates Sports Center Teacher Training Program is the way to go! I recently completed my training this fall and feel very confident and well-prepared in my teaching abilities. The program, which included a mix of classical and contemporary Pilates, spanned four months and included two classroom sessions per week. The sessions were interactive and included many opportunities to practice skills as they were learned. Angie, the studio founder and PSC Master Teacher Trainer, was amazing in delivering new content each session. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared tips that only a well-respected, seasoned Pilates instructor would know. Also, Angie always went out of her way to answer any questions her trainees had along the way. In addition to the classroom sessions, trainees were also required to complete observation, self-integration, and practice teaching hours, which could be done at the studio or elsewhere. An anatomy thesis project and a client programming project rounded out the training. Each piece contributed to a well-rounded learning experience which has fully prepared me to start my career as a Pilates instructor. I highly recommend the Amplified/Pilates Sports Center Teacher Training Program!

Whether you're experienced with Pilates or a beginner, I highly recommend Amplified. In 6 months I've gained strength, confidence, balance, and got through a round of infusions better than I ever have before. The staff is like family, the facility is intimate yet roomy, and the classes and personal training are top notch. You won't regret it!
