BODYBAR Pilates - Wicker Park

BODYBAR Pilates Wicker Park is a reformer Pilates studio that reviewers describe as beautiful, warm and especially welcoming to first-timers. Several newcomers say the team showed them around, prepared them for what to expect on the reformer and gave options for different levels, and one plus-size beginner felt included. The studio stocks hygiene products and sells socks. Evelyn is praised by several first-timers for being reassuring and making the class doable, Emily's Classic class is called slower and ideal as an intro, and Eileen's reset tower class and Sarah's sequences are also singled out, including by a member who kept attending while pregnant. Reviewers mention accessibility alternatives for moves. One man who attended three classes felt uncomfortable as the only man in the room.

  Love Eileen’s reset tower class! She’s an amazing teacher who gives great verbal instruction and multiple ways to do a move if you have accessibility concerns. She is kind and I left feeling confident about myself despite not feeling strong enough for pilates when I came in.

  unfortunately i only went to three classss in 3 months (so about a grand $$$ down the drain) as i felt very uncomfortable being the only guy. that’s not this businesses fault at all but something to consider. it felt invasive which sucks cus it’s a beautiful space and i wanted to pursue pilates but didn’t wanna make anyone uncomfortable

  It was my first class. I didn't expect to be able to do all the movements, but it was fun! Evelyn was my instructor. She was great. Everyone was welcoming, and the instructions were easy to follow! 10/10
