Logan Square Pilates + Core Studio

Fantastic experience: I’d never done Pilates reformer before and have now been coming here regularly for over a year and am obsessed. It’s become my second home and a community I feel so welcomed in. I’ve never had such a healthy relationship with working out and feel so good in my body. I’ve noticed that my posture is so much better too! I love this studio and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Pilates.

Fantastic experience: I started going to LSQP about a year ago, in fall 2021 as the weather was getting chillier and I was looking for a way to get some movement in my schedule. Like many people, I have a complicated relationship with working out, filled with dread and former desires to change how I look, I stopped going to gyms during the pandemic and was hoping to find a way to get stronger again. I was absolutely thrilled at what I found. I started with a launch pack of private Pilates equipment (reformer) sessions before eventually moving to group classes. I’ve been going 2-3 times a week for a year now and I love it. I always leave feeling better both physically and mentally than I came in. The instructors are intelligent, kind, funny, and skilled. They are also attentive to students and remember their progress, injuries, and personal/life details. LSQP is welcoming and inclusive. The space itself is clean, airy, and contemporary—not to mention well-located in Logan Square! I cannot speak highly enough about LSQP. LSQP really taught me that there are ways of moving my body and getting stronger that I can look forward to.

Fantastic experience: Recently started going to this studio and love the classes. Great instructors, challenging classes and a very clean, welcoming studio!

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for 3 or so years and just love it. Class sizes are small which allows the instructors to really be able to help you and ensure you're doing things correctly and safely. My favorite instructors are Aileen and Bonnie. They've really helped me transform my body and get me in the best shape of my life!

Fantastic experience: I found Logan Square Pilates several years ago (pre-pandemic) while searching for a place to help me combat work-related stress with exercise and also remedy back pain from too many hours sitting at a desk. At first, I stuck to their Cardio WERQ classes which were a very fun way to blow off steam from the week on Friday evenings (and great exercise). I then ventured into pilates mat and equipment classes. I had done some mat in college (many years ago) but had never tried equipment classes. The instructors were all consistently fantastic, and I eventually graduated to all of their formats (chair, barre, yoga, jump board, mat, advanced pilates equipment, stretch and strengthen, etc), often attending five times a week before the pandemic. The space has a ton of natural light in the front room, and is very body-positive. I like to work out in the mornings and love getting all the light while moving my body to start my day. Many of the instructors I started with have since left the city, but the new additions have maintained the same quality I've come to expect from this studio. I've worked with Wendy on almost every Tuesday morning since the studio reopened in 2020 and have recently started consistently attending the level 2/3 class with Logan on Wednesday mornings, where she is sure to "bring the thunder" in a very fun but still challenging way. In short, I can't recommend this place highly enough, regardless of your prior experience with exercise, body-type, etc. I hope more of the community finds it and all of the tremendous benefits it can bring to your life!

Fantastic experience: I have been to this studio a total of 6 times, 3 of those times for a Private Pilates Session with the fabulous, Angela L. I leave feeling more refreshed, and always receiving the best feedback and guidance by the professional instructors. I have some limitations due to a car accident and spine/back surgeries, to which they are ALL knowledgeable on. So I never had to worry about a new instructor. I hope to commit to coming weekly, and I'm excited to start this new journey!

Fantastic experience: I am not a native English speaker. English level is ok for daily communication but not sure about workout language in pilates.So i was a little bit nerves of my first class but my instructor Kara is very nice and patience. I expressed my concerns to her，she took time to listen to me and try to make me confortable.Now，i am very exciting for my next appointment with Kara.

Fantastic experience: Great studio. Friendly and welcoming. Covid-19 protocol was clear and reassuring

Fantastic experience: The best instructors, convenient class hours, great location, affordable pricing structure.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a fair share of Pilates studios across the US, and this is definitely one of the greats! The classes have been consistently good and challenging. The studio space is split between equipment and mat space, but they do a great job of making sure the class noise doesn't bleed between. Also, pretty great pricing for the city and class size!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending pilates equipment and mat, as well as the occasional Barre class, since March 2018 and can not possibly speak more highly of this studio. As a person who has always found it difficult to connect with yoga, yet who needs more structure than just visiting a gym, I am happy to report that I have found the right kind of atmosphere for me. I started as a pure beginner tempted by the great new client package offers, and within a few weeks i was hooked, finding that my posture dramatically improved, the longtime aches and pains associated with frequent car and air travel dissipated, and my body in general was stronger and more balanced. There are enough instructors in this fairly small studio to suit many styles: classical, more high-energy and intense, and a more gentle, stretching-and-breathing focus. The monthly membership packages can save a ton of money, and duet "semi-private" sessions are excellent as well. Give it a try! Sincerely, a former skeptic.

Fantastic experience: Easy booking process with multiple opportunities for varied experiences throughout the week. Relaxed, comfortable environment. Expert staff who are good with newbies.

Fantastic experience: I started going last July. It's really nice to have a forward thinking studio for yoga, pilates, and barre. Somehow this has been missing in Logan for several years. The instructors: Aileen will challenge you but make you laugh- even when you're having a bad day and didn't think you could muster a smile, the humorous way she explains moves will bust any mood I'm in. Olivia will whoop your butt into shape- she's sharp, her cues are understandable and I feel empowered in her classes. Jackie and Mandy's classes challenge me as well, and I've mostly been with them on equipment and they make adjustments and instruct me in a way that I feel super chill and comfortable, while also getting a great work out in. Jennifer and Michelle keep me zen while my body gets those muscle shakes. Amy brings the 90s R&B jams while keeping me smile on Saturday mornings when I'm the most exhausted (going in regretting you signed up because you're tired, and then she throws on something like K-Ci & Jojo and you can't help but laugh while your core is internally screaming). Along the way- the studio has clearly listened to their members and made adjustments to keep people happy. Like adding the cubbies in the front now, so that that front room has more privacy from the street. Offering new classes, expanding the schedule, weaving in workshops and events. They also are involved in the neighborhood and support local businesses. I'm hard to motivate, so their regular challenges get me going. The front desk is so kind and on top of their game. I'm greeted with a smile every time I walk in. Chelsea, one of the owners, is always fun to share a class with and she's been a great contact. The women who own this studio (because it's a WOMEN-OWNED business!) are proud and really happy and you can tell. I think the only thing Logan is missing now- and I'm really desperate for it- is some heated, hot yoga. So... if ya'll can ever expand, please please please have a room that can get all hot. I miss that so much and don't want to get in my car to get to it. Hint hint hint. <3

Fantastic experience: Started classes last December not knowing anything about Pilates, and have been going regularly since. All the instructors are so helpful, and I've learned so much!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely adore this place! Was completely new to Pilates and every instructor has been super welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere feels very non-judgmental, and the studio is bright, spacious and clean. The classes are challenging and supportive (small size so you receive individual guidance/adjustments to form) and I always leave feeling great.

Fantastic experience: I just had my one year pilatesversary and I can't say enough great things about Logan Square Pilates. The studio is full of empowering people, from the owners, to the instructors, to the fabulous desk staff. I am always made to feel welcome. The classes have all been an integral part of my renewed focus on fitness and well-being and I look forward to many years of work-outs here. Sign up for a class or two, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: LSQP is an amazing studio full of informed instructors who are as experienced as they are patient! Wonderful experience from welcome to workout! Can't wait to come back!

Fantastic experience: Great community! I always feel welcomed and cared for when I'm there. The instructors are knowledgeable and approachable and have become my teachers and friends!

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn and practice pilates with instructors that are friendly and knowledgeable and make sure that everyone at every level feels comfortable

Fantastic experience: Loved the studio, loved Aileen and her walk through of Pilates, loved the workout, loved the neighborhood!!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this studio. I have been going since it opened (14 months now??) and the teachers are constantly challenging me. Power flow yoga, detox yoga and stretch and strengthen pilates are hands down my favorite classes. Classes are small and sometimes hard to get into, so if you are a fan of "dropping in" be prepared. If you are looking to feel muscles you never knew existed take a pilates class with Aileen!

Fantastic experience: Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The launch class was so informative and it was great to learn how to use the equipment with others who were just beginning so you felt comfortable and could go forward feeling like you knew what you are doing. Aileen was a great instructor and made the class fun and interesting.

Fantastic experience: The pilates mat classes are great for beginners and help you feel strong and flexible after just a few classes. The instructors are fun and knowledgeable, and I love the vibe of the studio!

Positive experience: Super Excited for the Launch party coming up in March! The Happy Hour jump-board class had me feeling muscles I didn't know existed. Great for those with tight hips that want a good core workout. Will definitely be returning <3

Fantastic experience: I admit I was VERY nervous for my first private session ever - but Aileen made me feel so comfortable and welcome. She is a wonderful teacher, knowledgeable and passionate (and also a lot of fun). I left feeling amazing - not as an exhausted, sweaty mess but glowing and confident. The studio is beautiful and immaculate, and the rates here are quite reasonable, especially for mat and group classes. The vibe is extremely inclusive and body-positive - and all levels and body types are welcome and encouraged. I will absolutely return. Thank you, Aileen and LSQP!

Fantastic experience: Great Classes, Teachers and Gym here. I drastically improved my balance and flexibility. I bought the 10 class pack and plan on getting the 8 month after this. Overall very impressed and worth my investment!

Fantastic experience: LSQP is a great neighborhood studio that offers a nice variety of classes led by experienced teachers. The owners are active members of the local community and they've created an environment that's very welcoming for people who are new to pilates as well as those who are experienced. It's the best place to work out in the area, in my opinion!

Fantastic experience: I love Pilates classes with Aileen! She is so positive and welcoming and funny. She makes every class a joy to be in. The studio is beautiful and the rates are very affordable compared to other places in the city.

Fantastic experience: I came here first to rehab a sprained ankle and saw great results after only a few classes. I stayed for the improvements I saw in my general strength. I love all the teachers, especially Aileen and Mandy, for being so welcoming and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Excellent team. Great atmosphere and teachers. What an excellent addition to the community!

Fantastic experience: Great people sharing their passion with the community. An awesome addition to the neighborhood. I'll be back for many Pilates and yoga classes.
