Honestly, this is the best Reform Pilates studio in Chicago Downtown!
Instructors are real professionals, workouts are the best, changing rooms are like a 5* hotel. I love it here!

One of my favorite pilates studios in the city! These machines are some of the best I have found. I have taken multiple classes with different instructors, and they have all been great. They provided corrections and assistance when needed, which I always appreciate. Definitely recommend.

Visited this studio over the weekend, is an absolute MUST if you’re in the Chicago area! Jennifer keeps the studio organized and is also one of the most cleanly that I’ve been to.

Signed up for this class via class pass, I arrived early but didn’t realize I had to show up exactly ten minutes early to the class. They did not let me take it despite me having done plenty of Pilates classes in the past, and said I had to reschedule or they would charge me the no-show fee. So my friend and I rescheduled to the next Friday, but then just a few days later I am charged the no-show fee and lost my class pass credits. I contacted class pass who were able to refund the no-show fee but were unable to give me the credits back. Would not recommend this place at all as they were not accommodating whatsoever and did not treat us well and also charged us the fee despite us having shown up. Do not waste your time or money on this studio.

I’ve been going to reform studio for a year now and absolutely love all of the instructors! A beautiful environment ! I’ve had Jennifer Claire, Baxley, Felicia since and they are all amazing!
Sometimes getting there is the hardest part but once you’re there, no regrets!

I was excited to try Reform Studios for a Pilates class, but I was immediately turned away because I arrived 5 minutes early instead of 10. The staff said it was a safety policy, which I understand in theory, but rather than offering any flexibility or a quick solution—like showing me the reformer before class started—they just repeated the policy.
This was incredibly frustrating, especially since the studio isn’t conveniently located and parking ended up being farther away than it appeared online. I had planned to be early, but the $20 parking situation cost me those extra minutes. To be turned away despite making it before class even began felt unwelcoming and disappointing. Wasted money, time and effort and someone at the desk just repeating policy to me instead of attempting to offer service.

I love reform! I love how the pace of class is beginner friendly with options to add adjustments for more difficulty. Every class has a warm up and cool down and the focus is on breath work with some meditative components at the end. I went to Felicia’s first class the other day and she was awesome. I had to write a review so she knows her pace of class as well as her supportive nature was really great! She made class really fun and enjoyable!

This studio blew me away, it’s a beautiful place. It must be the best studio in Chicago. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, I got a great workout. As a cyclist and runner I’m always looking for a whole body workout to balance me out and I think I finally found it here. I’ll definitely be back, highly recommended.

The studio community is awesome. Claire is an incredible teacher who is super attuned to her students - offering modifications and corrections very gracefully. The reformers are fantastic- best I have ever used. They don't hurt my knees. The lighting and music are perfect. Locker room is clean and beautiful. Thanks!

TLDR; an absolute gem of a reformer studio. Don’t hesitate to try it!
Having tried several studios in Chicago, this one was coincidentally the first and by far the best which I just kept coming back to.
The studio is new, modern with amazing instructors and the use of a super modern Reform Rx which is just super cool & fun to use and in line with the modern, clean vibe of the studio.
They have beginner classes every week and even if you start with a regular class the instructors are so good at guiding you, making sure your breath work and form is correct to really makes Pilates a great experience. I always leave the classes feeling empowered and confident!

Reform Pilates Studios is hands down the best workout experience I’ve ever had. The studio is absolutely immaculate—so clean and inviting, with a calm and uplifting atmosphere that makes you feel at ease the moment you walk in. The equipment is state-of-the-art and always impeccably maintained, which speaks volumes about the care and professionalism of the team.
What really sets Reform apart, though, are the instructors. They are top-notch—knowledgeable, motivating, and incredibly attentive to form and individual needs. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, they know exactly how to challenge you safely and effectively. I leave every session feeling stronger, more balanced, and completely re-energized.
If you’re looking for a studio that prioritizes quality, cleanliness, and expert instruction, look no further. Reform is the real deal!

Awesome studio with so many classes and times to choose from. We love Claire and Christina, but honestly, all the teachers are worth taking. Plenty of reformers and though classes fill up, it never feels 'crowded'. We appreciate how clean they keep everything, the bathroom is like a spa, and the best part is they're available on ClassPass, which saves us So. Much. Money. 🩷

I give Reform Studios a score of 10. I started Pilates because I suffer from lower back pain, and after two classes, I see a significant improvement regarding my back issues. It is also a great work out if you are looking to get fit.

I take Pilates classes at a few different studios and Reform is by far my favorite of the bunch. The instructors are all warm, personable, and are helpful with corrections - they never come across as judgmental and are great as providing cues and demos. Great location & great amenities

I had a great experience taking the Beginner's Flow class with Shannon. She is a wonderful instructor. Her directions were easy to follow and she was watching (and correcting) our forms. I liked the quality of the equipment. The studio is spacious and properly heated, and the staff is friendly!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I started coming to this Reform Studios during pregnancy, hoping to fit in some light stretching, and it has made such a difference! The studio offers both self-guided sessions (perfect for introverts like me) and group classes, giving you the flexibility to work out in the way that suits you best.
✅ Great for pregnancy & postpartum – Just 30 minutes a day of pilates helped strengthen my core, back, and legs. After giving birth, my physical therapist was impressed with how fast I was able to recover!
✅ Convenient & routine-friendly – The location is super convenient, making it easy to build a consistent, healthy habit.
✅ Clean & well-equipped
I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall well-being! 💙

I have been going to Reform Studio for about three months now, and here’s my honest opinion: It’s hands down the best Pilates studio I have ever tried! Having explored various studios in Chicago and the suburbs, none compare to the level of expertise, energy, and overall experience at Reform.
The best part of the studio is the incredible instructors. Each one brings their unique style and energy, making every class special:
• Tope: She is the essence of elegance. Her classes are challenging, but what stands out is how she often does the entire session with the class, talking us through it effortlessly (without ever losing her breath!). Her playlists are also amazing!
• Christina: Her energy is infectious! She truly pushes you during class and keeps you motivated. Every session with her feels fresh, with new challenges to keep you engaged.
• Quinn: Be prepared for your abs to cry, but it’s so worth it when you see the results! Quinn is vibrant, funny, and full of energy. Her jokes will keep you smiling even when your core is on fire.
• Shannon: She is a ray of sunshine! Her early morning classes are the perfect way to start your day, with her calming voice guiding you through a workout that’s both challenging and rewarding.
• Jennifer: As the owner, Jennifer sets the tone for excellence. Her playlists are fantastic (she’s a Beyoncé fan, enough said lol!), That tells you everything you need to know about her vibe: confident, empowering, and full of energy. Her classes strike the perfect balance of challenge and fun.
I recommend trying classes with different instructors, as each has a unique teaching style. What’s great is that they tailor their exercises to suit everyone, from beginners to advanced, so you’ll feel challenged no matter your level. The one-hour classes fly by because they’re so engaging. Give it a try!

I have been going to Reform Studios about 5x/week since July and I could not be more happy about it! I feel challenged yet supported in every class, which is a difficult balance to reach with most workouts. I love how it is a full body exercise, so I can feel myself getting stronger day by day. No other workout class or gym routine that I’ve tried has made me feel like I can be super consistent with it without getting burnt out or super tired afterwards. I could go on and on about how much I enjoy the workout, but the most important and noteworthy part of Reform Studios is the staff. From the owner, to the front desk people, to every single instructor- everyone is truly so kind and friendly. It really feels like a community. I don’t see myself stopping my membership anytime soon.

Thank you for an amazing workout this morning! From the moment I was warmly greeted by owner Jennifer to when I left, I felt very welcomed and well taken care of. This was my first time doing Pilates, and Christina was a fantastic instructor who, without missing a beat, explained and demonstrated how to use the machines throughout the entire workout. She did a great job of keeping the pace moving for regulars while also creating a confidence-building environment for first timers. The instructor was encouraging and provided helpful modifications to progress or soften moves as needed.
I loved the location, community partnerships, open reception area, high ceilings in the studio, and state-of-the art machines. Every detail was considered and provided to make this an enjoyable experience—easy check-in, lockers with built-in locks and a charging station inside so I could charge my phone while in class, water bottle filling station, towels, just the right flow of cool air to stay comfortable through the entire workout, motivational music, and lighting kept low enough to encourage relaxation and focus. After my workout, I headed to the changing room and showers, which were thoughtfully stocked with high-quality Kiehl’s shampoo, conditioner, and body wash as well as towels, hair ties, dry shampoo, mirrors, and hair dryers. They even have workout gear for purchase if you forgot something, so I was able to buy a pair of grip socks for the workout.
As I was traveling for business and needed to start my day with an invigorating workout and then clean up and be ready to go for the day’s meetings, this studio hit the spot: accessible from public transit, welcoming, inclusive, and revitalizing. Reform Studios, thank you for such a great first experience with Pilates!

The studio is great, clean, and the facilities are very well kept. The teachers are knowledgeable and make you feel welcome, even if you have never been to a Pilates studio before. You are always given the option to go at your own pace (for beginners) or to make it more challenging (for the experienced ones in the class). All levels enjoy the class, and it makes you want to come back the next day.

Reform Studios checks all the boxes you’d want checked in a Pilates studio home. Friendly, inviting, encouraging, spacious, and spotless. Instructors Jennifer and Claire guide their classes with an easy-going approach, allowing you to push yourself at your own pace. I love the wind-down music!
The locker room is relaxing and well stocked if you happen to be passing through to another destination, and the location is super accessible just in case you’ve got a few errands to run. Don’t hesitate to become a member!

I had high hopes for Reform Studios. My husband and I purchased a one month membership. I have a temporary but serious medical issue and I was told pilates may be a solution for me. Turned out it exacerbates the medical issue I had and I ended up in the ER for 10 hours. As a result, I asked Reform Studios to pause our one month membership (we would have had about two weeks or so left on it). This would have been very easy for them to do. They could have given us a two week pass or something so we could use it when I've recovered but they refused. Most hours of the day, there is no one in the studio. But - they heartlessly - still refused. They apologized and wished me well (right!). My husband is 6 feet tall and, as a beginner, struggled with the reformer. One of the instructors, Ashley, rolled her eyes at him as if to let him know he "didn't belong." At the beginning, I was interested in a monthly year-long membership but not at a place without any heart. It's not good salesmanship either to turn someone off of your business so thoroughly. Truly disappointed in this place. There are many other places with a heart. I also could just buy a reformer myself - which is much cheaper than a year's membership.
