Better Posture Pilates

Better Posture Pilates is a West Loop Pilates studio whose reviewers say the instruction pays attention to breathing, form and posture. Marilyn is praised repeatedly as attentive, knowledgeable about each muscle movement and quick to offer modifications, and members report less back pain and improved posture after a few classes. Reviewers say it is a good place for beginners, with instructors who each have their own style. The studio also runs special events, including Pilates cruises on a yacht that guests describe as relaxing and well paced, with refreshments, vendors and welcoming company. Reviews are not all positive: one guest found a Pilates, Prosecco and fireworks event underwhelming at $325, one ClassPass visitor found nobody at the studio at class time, and one felt the instructor was pushy.

  I’ve only taken a couple of classes so far but this is a great studio! Marilyn is a great instructor. I didn’t realize how often I was holding my breath and compromising my form when exercising but I’m noticing my back hurt less and my posture is improved

  Marilyn’s class was great! I definitely plan to be back. She was so attentive making sure each of us had the correct form and quickly offering alternative modifications if needed. She was so knowledgeable about each muscle movement and correct form/posture. She clearly loves being an instructor and was kind and personable. 10/10 ps also has a cute dog :)
