Since I visit my parents I like to go to pilates in my downtime and found that this was the best studio in the Aurora/Naperville area on ClassPass! Everyone is so friendly, the space is so nice and inviting, and the instructors are very thorough & good at what they do.

I absolutely love this Pilates studio in downtown Naperville! The space is clean, welcoming, and filled with such great energy. Kyla and Jada are both incredible instructors—knowledgeable, encouraging, and so attentive to proper form. Every class feels challenging in the best way, and I always leave feeling stronger and more aligned. If you’re looking for a studio that truly cares about your progress and creates a supportive community, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I’m now 10 classes in and have loved every single class and instructor so far. Shyft is a great space for anyone looking for a challenging but super inclusive Pilates workout. PS I’m shaking almost every class. Shout out to Kyla, my fav instructor so far!

I am so happy to have found Shyft Pilates! I have rheumatoid arthritis and haven't been able to workout without intense pain for over a decade. After 2 1/2 months at Shyft, I am finally feeling strong again and I am able to walk and move without pain. It has been the biggest positive in my health journey. Thank you, Marlissa and Carmela for taking extra care in making sure that I am moving safely while getting the most out of my workout. Also, thank you for making it FUN! I truly enjoy every session, and can't wait for the next.

I have been taking classes at Shyft for 4 months now. All of the teachers have been amazing! I especially enjoy Carmela’s class. She is great at walking us through the movements and supporting us throughout class. I am stronger than I have been in years.

Shyft is not only a Pilates studio, it’s a welcoming, warm community. Kyla is one of my favorite instructors! She’s so kind, encouraging, and funny—it makes every class something I actually look forward to. Her Pilates and strength classes are the perfect mix of challenging and fun, and she always knows how to keep everyone motivated. I’ve never stuck with a workout routine this long before, but Shyft feels like home and Kyla makes all the difference!

A hidden gem in downtown Naperville.
This Pilates studio has all you need for a great workout whether you are a beginner or more experienced. The instructors are well trained and professional. The staff was friendly and helpful. The owners have made sure the studio has the little extra touches of luxury all in a relaxing environment.

I absolutely love Shyft and always look forward to the classes. My favorite part about the studio is how welcoming, comfortable and inclusive it is! I was a bit nervous to get back into pilates 6 weeks post partum, but the instructors could not have been more helpful in providing guidance and modifications. I love how options are provided in each class so you can choose how challenging you’d like to make it. I leave each class in a great mood and looking forward to the next time I can make it in :)

I had been an avid exerciser until I injured myself, and I’ve been tentative about jumping back in, especially after learning how bad my arthritic knees are. Friends kept encouraging me to try Pilates, and I’m so glad I did!
I’ve been easing into it and loving it. I can already feel my strength building (after taking 2 years off....gulp), and in my beginner classes, Carmela has made me feel so welcome. She’s quick to help and answer questions, which made a big difference as I was nervous to start. Honestly, all the Pilates equipment used to overwhelm me, but now I’m amazed at how much of a workout you can get on the reformer.
The studio is clean, cozy, and welcoming, and I’m excited to try their strength classes too. Shyft has been the perfect way to get back into exercise, and I’m so glad I gave it a try.

Shyft is a wonderful Pilates studio and a gift to the Naperville fitness scene! Owners Marlissa and Manny Hamgeri are very community minded. They are great at building relationships and making clients feel "seen" no matter their fitness experience, goals, or tenure at the studio. I also appreciate that Marlissa, as an instructor and leader, prioritizes clients' physical and mental health over aesthetics. I trust her to be knowledgeable, compassionate, and approachable around the sensitive topics of food and exercise. Thank you, Shyft, for all you do!

Shyft is my happy place. Postpartum after my first son, my core was so weak. Marlissa’s Wednesday classes helped me build up my core again for my second pregnancy. I am convinced it’s one of the reasons my core stayed so strong after my second son. I love that each class feels different and challenging. And absolutely go to a Pilates and Prosecco class if they offer one!

LOVE Shyft! From the moment you walk in, the studio feels welcoming, clean, and calming. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and really take the time to adjust movements to each person’s level— I was a total newbie coming in and felt super nervous but the staff never let me feel like I was out of place and was incredibly supportive. I left class feeling stronger, more energized, and balanced.

This place is great! We did a Pilates class as part of a bachelorette party, and the instructor was so kind - she went out of her way to make the class feel special for the bride. She even gave us free seltzer water, which was such a thoughtful (and totally unnecessary!) touch.
The class was perfect for all levels of Pilates experience, and everyone felt comfortable and included. I’d highly recommend reaching out if you’re planning a private event - it was such a fun and memorable experience!

A fabulous studio! Shyft provides an amazing variety of classes in a beautiful boutique style setting: reformer pilates, strength with weights, and mat pilates so you truly feel you’re covering every body part in your fitness journey. Each class is taught by top notch instructors that challenge you yet adapt to student’s needs by providing modifications and adjustments when necessary. Shyft has fast become my “happy place!” The owner, Marlissa, cares about each and every one of her clients, new or old, and is highly committed to every student having the most positive experience. You can’t go wrong and it’s so wonderful to receive such personalized attention at every level in each class I attend. I’ve made great friends at Shyft and so love the location in the heart of downtown Naperville!

I wanted to try something new this year and was recommended to Shyft by a friend. I LOVED it, I had so much fun and everyone was very helpful. I took a reformer/ mixed level class with Afrah and she was very supportive and provided me with some extra guidance when needed, since it was my first time. I highly recommend Shyft and am so excited to start my pilates journey!

Big fan of Shyft! Kyla is my instructor and does a fabulous job. I walk away from our reformer class feeling so great. Stretched, worked out and more focused. As someone who had their knee reconstructed, I love the low impact work out that really builds some heat. The studio is quaint, clean and quiet which I appreciate. Love it so much here I got a monthly membership, I highly recommend anyone who wants to try a class to sign up for a drop in or community class to try it, you'll love it!

If you have the opportunity to take a class here, do it! I live in Boston but grew up in Naperville and come back regularly to visit my family. I’m an avid Pilates goer and try to visit a studio in every new city I visit. Shyft is my absolute favorite studio, and I find myself missing it whenever I’m back in Boston. The instructors are top notch, classes are creative, and I always leave feeling like I got a great workout. Always a 10/10 experience!

Wow!!
This Pilates studio was an absolutely amazing experience. I belong to Club Pilates in another state. I was coming to visit family for two weeks. I found this diamond in the rough. I am so excited! They are so open and comfortable and you’re able to ask about the things that you would like to do and how you would like to get stronger. They always seem to care so much about your needs. I’m so sad that I have to leave Illinois. I have already told them that next year when I come to visit family again I will be returning. If you were looking for a Pilates studio this was an amazing experience and the owner is fantastic and all of the staff has been wonderful! I highly recommend this location

Life changing! Maura knows so much about the body and tailors the class to the needs/injuries of the people in class. I was referred by a friend after I slipped a disc in my back….the most recent injury of 10 years of bulging disc issues and constant back injuries. Two month after starting I was pain free, 6 months later I was able to do most other exercises without injuring my back, and after 12 month I feel 10 years younger. I feel like Shyft gave me my life back! A must do as an accompaniment to any other sport you are doing - even if you are healthy now.

Took a pilates class here, really liked the reformer machine! It was my first time using one. The class was small so I felt comfortable, the studio is clean and cute and the instructor I had (Megan i believe) was really good at making sure I was doing things correctly w/o making me feel like I was awkwardly standing out. Got a fun, different, total body workout in an hour and I can definitely feel it. Highly recommend!

I have three ruptured discs in my back. After trying physical therapy three separate occasions with no relief or change I found Maura and Karen. I credit these women for a stronger pain free body. You guys are absolutely the best and perform miracles!
