Tensile Strength Studio

Fantastic experience: I've been taking classes here weekly for 3 years. This is a clean, well-equipped studio that offers small class size and personal attention to form. I enjoy the challenge combined with kindness extended by Jo Ann, Jessica and Karen. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This class was recommended to me by 3 diifferts friends. Now I know why! It is The Best class I have ever taken. It's strength training with stretching combined. Jessica is Extra amazing! Piltates Reformer Class FOR LIFE!!!

Fantastic experience: JoAnn, Karen and Jessica are truly the very BEST. The attetion they give to detail, correct form and proper breathing ensure you get the most from each workout. The classes are all different and each time you attend....even if multiple times per week, you can be assured you will work something different each session. I have frequent hip pain and when I am consistent with pilates I am at my best. When I began with Tensile Strength Studios, I was able to attend 3-5 sessions a week and it was the only exercise program that provided amazing results, took away aches and pains and made me feel my better than my younger years! There are a lot of benefits of going to a studio that specializes in one area vs a gym that covers a bit of everything. The knowledge and care they demonstrate with each client when instructing shows. Having only up to 6 people per class allows them the ability to focus on everyone's form and make sure each exercise is being done correct and working the right muscle groups for maximum results. Their credentials shine, they are the best by far!

Fantastic experience: I am a completely different person physically since starting pilates with JoAnn. They have the expertise but also make it fun and not intimidating!

Fantastic experience: I enjoy pilates at Tensile Strength Studio. The instructors are knowledgable, pleasant, and fun. The hour I spend doing pilates, is the hour that passes the fastest during the day. Give it a try. You'll love it!

Fantastic experience: Not only is Tensile Strength Studio the best Pilates and Yoga studio in the Barrington area, they’ve now added a High Intensity Interval Training class for those who might like to elevate the challenge. First class tonight and it kicked my butt hard in a good way! I am looking forward to the next class big time because I have a baseline set and will challenge myself to do better. Geoff tailored the class to the participants so no one felt unchallenged or left behind. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: If you are at Barrington area, resident or on a small period of time, like I was working for six months and looking for the best fitness and Pilates studio experience you got to go to Tensile Strength Studio & Barrington Yoga. As a professional in need of to strength and conditioning for my lower back, I found on my trainer Jessica the best professional I could have. She introduced me Pilates and that made all difference in my life. She is extremely knowledgeable and can help you achieve all of your fitness needs.
