Melt Pilates & Hot yoga

Negative experience: I took a class today Friday with a new girl worse class I have ever been it she stopped after 40 minutes and was done all we did was stretch I did my own flow disappointed that place used to have the best instructors

Fantastic experience: I remember that place.

Fantastic experience: Agnes taught an amazing class today. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Recently did a private yoga session with Agnes, my absolute fav, and it was so incredibly transformative. I pretty regularly go to Melt but have had a couple poses on my list of things to really work on. She spent the entire 75 minutes with me prepping my body to take on those poses and it yielding amazing results. She knows just how much to push and make you feel empowered and capable but is so trustly and knowledgeable at the same time. Her words are also so easy to connect with and give you the wisdom you need. If you yogis are looking for a truly transformative way to take your practice to the next level, all the Melt instructors are phenomenal and welcoming (I've brought 4 guests in the last year & they all loved it) but I can personally endorse a 1on1 with Agnes.

Fantastic experience: Incredible pilates- experienced and confident instructors, small classes, quiet and safe atmosphere to grow in your practice.

Fantastic experience: I am a professional athlete and have been doing yoga on and off for years. Mainly out of state but have now lived in Illinois the last 5-6 years and I am so happy to have came across Melt Pilates & Hot Yoga! My first class was with Agnes. Her energy and verbal cueing are just tips of the iceberg when talking about her wonderful class. Iv taken other classes and have seen other instructors at various locations but Agnes’s class sits on top amongst them all. You feel her love and passion for yoga simply by listening to her speak and guiding you through her class. In the hour or hour and 15 minutes you have with her, she will not only take your body on a challenging and unique journey but also the ability to inspire your yogi soul! After taking my first class with her, she is the only instructor I prefer to take classes with and when I am out of town and take a yoga class elsewhere, I leave immediately thinking “it wasn’t like Agnes’s class”. It is hard to put into words the feeling I have when taking one of her classes, she is able to push you safely to limits you didn’t think you could reach, poses you were maybe not able to accomplish before and allows you to connect to your body in a way you have not done before. Leaving her class makes you a different person in the best way possible and makes you eager for more!

Fantastic experience: I've loved every hot yoga class I've taken at Melt. The instructors have all been outstanding at leading exceptionally paced, challenging practices.

Fantastic experience: I have been to yoga all over the country, through traveling and different places I’ve lived…and Melt is BY FAR the best studio I’ve been to. I’m currently a CA resident home for the holidays but I knew I had to get back to my favorite studio!!! The flows each teacher runs are challenging yet so intentional. I always feel like I expand my practice after just one session. The temp is just right — I get major sweat but am never overwhelmed. And the studio goes above and beyond with details like cool towels to finish and setting wonderful intentions for the session before we start. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. If I could package up the entire studio and all the teachers and bring them back with me to CA I would. Shannon has done something truly amazing with the studio and her team of instructors. On top of all of this, the ladies who come to this class are friendly, and also beasts! So great to follow if you ever fall behind on a flow or are a bit rusty (me). 10000/5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Shannon is extremely competent and knowledgeable. My husband and I have been attending pilates classes there for 3 years. His lower back aches have disappeared. Great place!

Fantastic experience: Pszczolka maja

Fantastic experience: Just finished a Saturday morning class with Agnes and it was one of the best classes I have ever attended. She structured the session that flowed so smoothly from one pose to the next. With her kind instructions, I was able to close my eyes most of the time and clearly understand her instructions. The pace of the class was spot on and I would describe it as “passive exhaustion”. Loved it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Melt since Feb 2022 and I love to claim that I’ve been a regular ever since! I’ve tried many of their classes and my soul fell in love with steel mace flow coached by Austin! Kudos to Shannon for bringing him on as an instructor and offering such a unique & impactful experience! I made great friends in this class and have brought in great friends. Definitely a class to join in! Thank you Melt ✨

Fantastic experience: Will visit again when back in town.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Aga is a wonderful instructor for both group yoga classes and private classes! I can’t wait to try their other classes they offer!

Fantastic experience: The owner rocks and I love their hot yoga classes taught by Agnes. You will LOVE it here!

Fantastic experience: My absolute favorite place! Super inviting, all yoga abilities welcomed and supported by all the teachers and just all around an incredible place. Hands down the best place for your mind, body and soul! ♥️

Negative experience: Recently, I returned to Melt after attending a free class around 6 months ago. Having forgotten the password to my account, I signed in using my Facebook and purchased a 3 class package, which totaled $30.00. At the time, I was unaware that it was meant for first-time guests. When I arrived, Agnes checked me in and asked if I had ever been to the studio. I said yes and she asked me to step aside as my friend went upstairs. In front of 6 complete strangers, she told me how "uncool' it was that I was "scamming the studio" by creating a new account and taking this deal. Without giving me the opportunity to explain that this was a complete misunderstanding and that I'd be more than happy to pay the additional $10, she continued to imply that I had intentionally ripped them off. After being publicly embarrassed, Agnes said that I could stay but I decided to leave but she was not through with me. Instead of just allowing me go, she continued to say that I "clearly needed yoga the most" as tears streamed down my face. It's a shame this happened because I enjoyed my first class with Amy, an instructor who made me feel welcomed and helped me learn the poses in my first-ever yoga class. I won't be going back and I guess they can keep the $30 to teach Agnes basic customer service skills.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love melt! I didn't know anything about yoga but a year and a half later I'm still doing it and love it. Plus they offer Pilates , Ariel's yoga and more. Highly recommend trying it

Fantastic experience: The owner rocks and I love their hot yoga classes taught by Agnes. You will LOVE it here!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place!

Fantastic experience: 4 weeks of going to hot yoga here and feel better in every way than I have in a long, long time! I've known I needed to get back to yoga for years, but didn't know how much better hot yoga would be for me - insanely good! This place is in a rad spot, perfect set up, very professional yet as welcoming and friendly as it gets. I'm hooked!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while in town on business. Nice studio and nice people. I'll return.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to melt for 3 years, and cannot get enough of this studio. The owner, Shannon is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and creates such a warm, welcoming environment for everyone who steps into the studio. There are new classes always being offered to keep things fresh and interesting. The hot yoga is incredible, especially with Agnes. If I could give melt 10 stars I would. This place changed my life, and if you have not been here, I would very very highly recommend giving it a shot! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Shannon and Agnes for helping us set up an amazing event for our Girl Scout troop. Agnes made the class fun and empowered the girls to let the beauty within them spread to those around them. Thank you for a fantastic event!

Fantastic experience: I have been and will continue with Pilates and Boxing/kickboxing classes here. Pilates package for $250 for 10 classes on the reformer. Which may sound expensive but in reality it's not. Most places as I compare to other studios for the reformer only is an average of 30-35$. Then other studios you have to pay to use the chair, ring, and balls for Pilates. At this studio, that's $25 for a variety of equipment, class size of 5 people and Shannon who makes me feel welcome (not physically in shape). She has encouraged me to try my best according to my skill level and definitely feeing more confident as time goes on. Maebelle the boxing instructor is amazing too. The class is a great layout and I always know what to expect, how to achieve my goals of self defense and feel great after. I have not yet met a bad instructor here and would encourage anyone to try a class at MELT. i can not believe that I now enjoy working out and look forward to my classes here. For me that's a big deal.

Fantastic experience: Great class...Agnes is a wonderful teacher ... experienced and very inventive. Her flows are really fun. I only wish that the class was 75 minutes instead of only 60.

Fantastic experience: I love it here. The owner Shannon is great. Very professional. So is Agnes, who is one of the yoga instructors. There are also other instructors who I haven't met yet. But I'm sure they're awesome as well. And they always make you feel welcome at Melt. In the past, I've always done things like weight lifting and running, but I've gotten out of shape over the years. I can't believe how much more limber and less stiff I feel after only a month or so of going to classes here. I really am blown away by how pilates and yoga can kick your butt and get you into fantastic shape. I signed up for private pilates training as well as the group classes. I also signed up for the hot yoga which is also fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy it here and plan on staying.

Fantastic experience: I had my first class today it was a great experience the instructor was so nice plus a awesome workout i will definitely be going back!

Positive experience: Zubma

Positive experience: The yoga instructors are great. As long as you can get over the owner, Shannon, being a huge pain- you'll love it! I don't recommend Shannon's classes. She is cranky and doesn't care about her clients and keeping them happy. whether it's about money or just her being in a bad mood. Worth the yoga though!
