  The best reformer pilates in Chicago so far. as someone who has done lagree, solid core, bodybar, etc: the teachers at avondale have my heart! Love the more traditional (but still hard) classes.

  I absolutely loved this studio and the class I got to take with Tamryn! Coming into the studio for the first time, it felt bright and open and I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. I got to explore movements that really challenged my stability in the best ways and was met with so much encouraging support. I left feeling incredibly empowered in my body and elevated energetically, walking out a little taller than when I had entered. This is definitely a studio worth checking out and if you can get into one of Tamryn’s classes, scoop up that spot!!

  I love Avondale Pilates, and my favorite class is with Melanie on Tuesday nights. What I love about Melanie is that she makes Pilates super accessible, and every class with her is different than the last. She even finds ways to make the basics like footwork interesting. She pushes you so that it’s a really good workout, makes sure you’re doing things right without getting overwhelmingly technical, and gives you options so that you can adjust to meet your body where it’s at. And the vibes are always super fun!
