I was Pilates curious about a year and three months ago (hint: this is how long I’ve been with Era Pilates now), and was trying to decide which of the listed choices to try out. I was lucky that there was a manageable amount of options to choose from, and the reason why Era initially stood out to me was the individual and small capped class sizes. I remember when I first called, I was so nervous as I said I wasn’t a “pilates” body. Mary, the owner, was the one who answered my call, and firmly told me everyone was welcomed to do pilates. I was still a little skeptical, but signed up for my first initial session and was paired with Hali. I remember being intimidated initially by all the apparatus, but Hali walked me through them with ease, but I also remember getting my butt thoroughly kicked by that session. As I enjoyed it, and wanted something physical to my routine, I told myself to give it six months before finding something else to do.

It’s quite obvious that I love Pilates, seeing how I’m past a year doing this. I have had Hali as my private instructor this entire time, and have faithfully been seeing her on a weekly basis, unless vacations or holidays pop up. From the time I started to now, I know there’s a huge difference, one of the biggest being that I no longer have lower back pain. I know my core is stronger since I constantly engage it, nearly automatically, when doing other physical tasks. When I first started, roll ups were something I struggled with, and now, I am able to articulate going back down and up. Every session is a challenge, but I always leave it feeling stronger and taller. I can even say from this latest lesson, I know I’ve grown.

Hali constantly pushes and challenges me, whether I want to or not. She does a great job breaking down what we are doing, to make sure I understand the what and the why. I also appreciate her hands-on approach to corrections and feedbacks, as it’s the fastest way for me to understand and ensure that I align myself correctly. I had the opportunity to also take one of Valerie’s group classes. While a different style, she was a great instructor providing verbal feedback and ensuring the class was a challenging one. I haven’t had the opportunity to follow up with more classes with Valerie due to my schedule, but I hope to visit her sessions when I am able to. I love the vibes and space that Era provides and hope that I continue to practice with Era for a long time!

This was my first time trying Pilates and I feel so lucky to have met Khloe! She is full of energy, very attentive, and teaches with so much care. After just one class, I knew I wanted to continue learning with her.

I’m working toward a strong and toned physique, and Khloe herself is the perfect example of the kind of results I’m aiming for. Her approach and fitness philosophy really resonate with me. She even designs classes tailored to my preference for strength-focused training, which I absolutely love.

If you’re looking for Pilates that is both empowering and full of vitality, I can’t recommend Khloe’s classes enough!

If you're an absolute sadist like me who enjoys apologizing to friends and family when they ask, "Why are you walking so slow?" - just because you love being able to flex you’ve begun your journey towards becoming a Pilates princess - then you will LOVE Khloe Lockwood!

I never drank pre-workout before I started classes with Khloe, but now I snort my pre-workout just to jumpstart my heart in order to keep up in her classes. Her classes will absolutely kick your butt. She pushes her clients and makes sure they get their money’s worth (because let's be honest - pilates is not cheap!), but I PROMISE you, she’ll never give you more than you can handle.

She’s funny, motivating, personable, has a great eye for detail and is one of the best instructors to help guide you along your Pilates journey. Thanks to her, I am sooo much stronger and flexible than I was before just a month ago, and now I can finally see my abs. I genuinely look forward to pilates class because I know I'll get a great workout in thanks to her.

Khloe is truly an incredible teacher who will push you, make you work HARD, but always within your limits. I cannot recommend her enough.

I've been taking private classical and group contemporary classes with Khloe since March 2025 and I've felt so much better about my body and gaining so much strength! She's been able to help me connect with my body again and be confident in myself. She knows how to challenge you in the right ways, and make me push myself hard during workouts. I always look forward to my classes and ask her all the time for group classical because I want to go so often. If you're considering starting with Pilates, definitely book with Khloe!

Era Pilates is such a beautiful studio. The natural light makes it so inviting and the whole space feels fresh and energizing. Khloe is a fantastic instructor! She has such a positive, upbeat approach while still giving clear and easy-to-follow directions. As someone getting back into fitness, I’ve never felt more comfortable walking into a new space. I actually look forward to class every time. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love Khole’s classes at Era’s Pilates! She creates a welcoming and positive environment that makes every session both challenging and fun. I always leave feeling stronger and more accomplished, and I truly appreciate how much laughter and encouragement she brings to class.

I also want to mention how much I enjoy all the staff at Era’s Pilates. The entire team is warm, supportive, and genuinely cares about women’s health and wellness. The environment feels empowering and inclusive, and I always feel comfortable and motivated when I’m there. Highly recommend Era’s Pilates to anyone looking for a great workout and a supportive community!

My wife and I have been taking Duets with Valerie, and this has been an awesome experience. Valerie is excellent, patient, and constantly challenges us. Mary is a pleasure to schedule with as well! I'm so glad we found this studio; it's fantastic. If you've never done Pilates before, give it a shot because you'll never feel better than the strength you build with these exercises! ERA is fantastic! We highly recommend it!

Love Era pilates! I've been taking classes with Khloe and she is AMAZING! She makes the classes so fun, ensures proper form and adds some pretty cool challenges if I'm up for it! There's also the Garfield Park location with classical equipment that I tried and really enjoyed. I love the control and precision of pilates exercises, I think it's truly a workout for everyone! I'd be here all the time if I had a bottomless wallet :)

I’ve been going to Era for about 2.5 years and am so happy that I found this amazing group of women. The group classes offer a fun environment with just enough difficulty that can be modified to each person’s own needs. I typically take group with Hali but all of the instructors are great! The privates with Liz… I must say are super hard but I love challenging my body to do new and hard things! Highly recommend trying out, especially during one of their special pricing or intro workshops.

I had been wanting to try Pilates for a while and finally took the jump earlier this year. It was so worth it! I feel stronger and more balanced. I started with private classes with Khloe and she worked with me to get the basics before joining a group equipment class. She helped me build my foundation as a beginner and pushed me to work hard to grow. I have mainly taken classes with Khloe and Hali and both have been great experience. I now do group equipment classes once a week!

I've been going on and off for just under a year! I'd driven by many a time and had been curious. I love the super small classes! At most there will be 5 people, but most of the time it's 3 or under total! My favorite time to go has been Sundays at 10 am. Jeanine is the instructor then and she's AMAZING! I love going to her class! She's super attentive and always pushing me to do my best! Once I had an unexpected private during the 10 am Sunday class. It was a tower-based class. Jeanine pushed me! She knew what I could handle, and she was very right about that! The other classes that I've been to with different instructors have also been fantastic! The instructors are all so attentive! The classes always have me leaving feeling content and proud of myself! I'm so happy to be a client of Era Pilates!

I have been going to this Pilates studio since 2020 and love it! I have done pre-natal, post-natal, and regular appointments here. I truly believe that the pre- and post-natal Pilates saved my body, and have helped me to be in the best health of my life! I have worked with Mary, the owner, since I started doing Pilates, and I highly recommend her as a skilled instructor. I have also worked with Liz, Hali, and Khloe - and I would recommend their classes and teaching styles. This is a great Pilates studio!

I have been taking private classes at Era for about a year. As someone who has never formally worked out and generally feels self-conscious and like I don’t “fit in” in gyms and similar places, I was nervous about trying it out.

Everyone at Era is extremely welcoming and genuinely friendly. They obviously care about their clients. I have taken classes with Hali, Paige, Mary, Adriana, Jeanine, and Khloe, and they are all AWESOME!!!

This is the only fitness regimen I have ever stuck with for more than a few weeks. I always tell people, “I hate working out but I actually look forward to Pilates.” Yes it’s expensive but it is an investment in your body. Plus you get to support a woman-owned small business while investing in yourself.

Using the equipment is super fun and every class is different. It always goes by really fast because you do so many different things. I highly recommend Pilates at Era!!!

I’m not one to leave reviews but if you’re hesitant about signing up for classes at Era Pilates, you shouldn’t be! I started my Pilates journey doing privates with Mary, who is extremely knowledgeable in Pilates. She challenges you in the best way possible all the while being considerate of your physical state. With my schedule change, I started taking privates with another instructor-Liz, who is just a joy to be around. Her energy and passion for Pilates is evident in her classes. The 55 minutes almost always fly by since she is amazing at incorporating different equipments and movements. I have a long list of good things to say about the instructors and studio in general. Comparing my experience at Era versus other studios, I can confidently say that you should give them a try.

My first ever pilates session was with Khloe in January 2025 at Era Pilates. It has been a few months now of doing one private class a week. I have noticed a huge change in how I feel about my body, how my clothes fit, my balance, and my level of fitness. I always look forward to the class even though I know that the next day it will hurt to walk.

I really appreciated how she approached the conversation of what my goals were during my first private class and she has done a great job of tailoring my classes to get the results I want. I enjoy that Khloe brings so much variety to the classes which keeps the classes fun and challenging. Khloe does a great job of safely pushing you towards your fitness goals by focusing on form. It is a really rewarding experience when I can successfully do reps of an exercise I could only do one of during the previous week.

I would highly recommend booking a private class or group class at Era Pilates with Khloe!

I recently started taking privates with Khloe and it’s been amazing! From the start, it was clear how knowledgeable and attentive she is. The class was perfectly tailored to my needs—challenging, but in the best way possible. Khloe helped identify some muscle imbalances that were causing me back pain, and now we’re working together to correct them. She’s helped target muscles I’m sure I’ve never used before and I leave feeling stronger each time. Highly recommend!

I started doing Pilates at the beginning of this year and have been working with Hali in one on one prenatal sessions. Our sessions are one of the highlights of my week. I didn't know I'd end up liking Pilates so much and Hali is such a wonderful instructor. She ensures that I am doing the exercises well and listens when I mention any aches and pains so she can adjust the session accordingly. I feel completely safe working with Hali during my pregnancy and am feeling stronger and more capable physically than I did during my first pregnancy. I am happy to have found Era Pilates and recommend this studio to anyone interested in working on building and maintaining strength and developing their mind body connection - pregnant or not!

Working with Mary has been such a positive experience during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. She helped me get ready for my birth, which ended up being an amazing birth that did not require drugs, and I was able to have a rapid birth and recover way much faster than my first birth. Now I don’t know if that was exactly because of the Pilates and everything else around it but I will definitely say that Pilates definitely had a part in my positive birth and recovery experience.

I can tell that I’m bouncing back faster from this second pregnancy than my first.

Before starting with Era Pilates, I was feeling sluggish and feeling really weak in my core area. When I met Mary I can tell that she knew exactly what she was doing and exactly what my body was going through. She knew exactly what target muscles I needed to work on to get ready for birth. After giving birth successfully, Mary also helped me with my recovery phase in my postpartum journey and the best part was I could tell my my abs, my inner thighs and joints and everything was slowly coming back together. I even got confirmation that my diatasis recti was pretty much gone.

After every workout, I felt like I was having an internal shake. Like my organs were sweating and to me that has always been a great sign of a good Pilates workout. There are times that I go to Pilates studios and it doesn’t even feel like I did a work out and sometimes I question why bother going to Pilates next time?

Mary’s studio is 30 minutes away from me. It has been worth the drive every single time. We have been working together for over one year. To be exact 13 months before and after giving birth. I will say that Mary was a huge part of my pregnancy & postpartum journey.

What I love about Mary is her dedication to Pilates goes without question. Her trained team and studio focuses 100% on the true classic of the true Pilates. You see other studios that have the trendy bling bling that surrounds the studio however, her studio is 100% Pilates. If you want to do Pilates you’ve got to go to her studio because she knows Pilates. She is the most dedicated Pilates instructor I’ve ever met and believe me I’ve had my share Pilates instructors in the last 10 years.

If you’re looking for a true Pilates studio with amazing Pilates instructors who have excellent communication skills understand your goals and are be able to push you to that shake level, look no further it’s ERA Pilates.

I started private reformer sessions with Mary to help me recover after a C-section followed quickly by back surgery. I was so weak and post pardum, I needed something to help me get stronger without being scared of getting hurt.

Reformer and Era helped me as much as the physical therapist that my surgeon recommended. Plus, I love the environment, so relaxing and inviting. Lastly Mary, her staff and all the other clients I have run into over the past year and a half have been a total delight. Everyone is fun, easy going and it's a challenging workout! Just book a session, you won't regret it.

Mary is an amazing Pilates instructor! She is very motivational. The positivity at the studio is wonderful! I also had Becca teach me and she is also amazing & positive! I highly recommend ERA Pilates classes. The instructors are thoroughly trained. The business is professional & the classes are worth every penny! If you have not tried Pilates before then I recommend trying an intro class! The location at the corner of Prospect & Olive in the new building is so cute. Pilates is truly one of the best exercises you can do for your body. It works on your core which makes it a great workout that really helps your body. Just know Pilates is good for your body! Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the exercises in the 1920s. Give it a try, you'll love it💜

Mary is the best for making you feel better. I started reformer sessions to get some exercise, but I've never had an experience like this before - all my aches and pains are gone. Mary knows just the right thing to do to get your body feeling better. Once I overdid it in yoga and had bad back pain after doing back bends - Mary helped me recover. Just recently I had major surgery, and she took me step by step through restoring my movement. Pilates Reformer with Mary is amazing. Highly recommended!

I had a tumor wrapped around my spinal cord and after having it removed I did months of PT to get back on my feet. The work I am doing with Mary is as helpful, and frankly probably more helpful, than the physical therapy I did. The work on the pilates reformer is gentle and tough all at the same time. Mary takes great care in creating a program for me that activates the various muscle groups and stretches things out in ways the help me move with more balance and greater confidence. I highly recommend ERA Pilates and Mary to anyone who wants to get active again.
