Amplified Pilates Center

Amplified Pilates Center is a Pilates studio on the Near North Side that reviewers praise for small group classes, private sessions and a comprehensive teacher training programme. Many graduates describe Angie and Mandie as knowledgeable, encouraging trainers who focus on form, cueing and safety, and several members say they felt supported through rehab after spinal surgery, pregnancy and back pain. Group classes are small enough for individual instruction, and Lizzie is repeatedly praised for beautiful cueing, modifications and customised sessions. Privates use the Cadillac, chair, barrel and reformer. Live virtual equipment classes let a member in Houston train at home with real-time coaching. The studio is called stunning, and a reasonably priced parking lot nearby makes visits easy.

  I’m so grateful and happy that I chose Amplified for my comprehensive pilates certification. The two master instructors - Angie and Mandie are absolutely amazing and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that is unmatched by any other teacher training program in the city. You can tell they LOVE what they do, are excited to teach and practice what they preach. They truly are there to guide you every step of the way, give you support and encouragement, while also feeling challenged. This experience has been so special and life changing - I couldn’t be happier to have started my Pilates journey here 🧡

  I could not have asked for a better place to complete my comprehensive Pilates certification. Although I have practiced Pilates for many years, I wanted to take my knowledge to the next level, and I truly believe this program offers the highest caliber of training available. Angie and Maddie are deeply invested in their trainees, with a focus on proper technique and client safety. The program is rigorous and demanding, yet incredibly rewarding. The community they have built is exceptional with everyone at the studio genuinely invested in your success and always willing to offer guidance, feedback, and encouragement as you refine your skills. I have also gained lifelong friendships along the way :) The results speak for themselves. It is rare to find a place where so many people bring such passion and expertise to helping others, and that commitment is reflected in everything Angie and Maddie teach. It was also essential to me that my certification be recognized both nationally and internationally, giving my training the credibility to support my career wherever it leads. I now feel confident and fully prepared to work with new clients, knowing I have received the best possible training.

  Living in Houston, I don’t have 30–40 minutes to drive to a lunchtime class. This Chicago studio’s live virtual reformer/equipment classes solved that. I use my own equipment at home while an instructor actually watches and coaches me in real time—same accountability and form corrections I’d get in the room. Classes run most days at different times, so I can stay consistent instead of skipping. I also took an in-person class when I was in Chicago and it was excellent. If you have a reformer (or other apparatus) at home and want real coaching without being local, this is it!
