I started seeing Rachel almost 9 years ago, when I was just a teenager. She has always been a highlight of my week, she is so kind and such an excellent instructor! Her new studio in Lincoln Park is beautiful with great natural light and it is an uplifting environment. She teaches every minute of the hour lessons and then some — well worth the money. I recommend this studio and Rachel to any and everyone, no matter your body type or experience in Pilates — she is very accommodating.
Go try it ASAP!

Rachel is amazing! I have several injuries, including my back and knees.
Other yoga classes just exacerbated the injuries and I couldn’t sleep for days…
Rachel is so careful and precise and really protects me from myself!
She is great at articulating the proper way to do things and making sure that I do each exercise safely and effectively.
I am already feeling strength in muscles I haven’t remembered for years, after just a few months.
She is so encouraging and pushes me to do my best.
She SMILES and has a great sense of humor and treats all her clients in a professional manner. That said, we all feel we are friends with her and each other.
I highly recommend her classes!

Rachel is fantastic! I just moved back to Chicago from Georgia, boy have I missed Rachel! She is, absolutely, the best pilates teacher I’ve ever been to.
This location is small but exactly what you need. This new, fabulous studio located right in the heart of the Lincoln Park on Armitage, is a find! A refreshing spot with equipment and mat classes.
But, the real gem is the actual teaching. Rachel has a dance background and you can tell with her diligence and attention to detail (I *highly *highly* highhhhly* recommend doing a solo class with her on the equipment– you may notice different muscles working than what was working at previous studios). She’s precise and you can feel a difference. And while she may be technical and focused in on your doing the exercises correctly, she’s also fabulously sweet and friendly.
This is a true gem and while it may be a new studio, I am SHOCKED to see no one else has written up a *glowing* recommendation.
Definitely a pilates studio worth trying out… and you’ll probably just love it!

The studio is in a strange spot, but do not let it put you off of going; it is a small space but it is clean and new.
The best part of the small space is that you can not cheat in matt class as Rachel will see and correct you, which is great. Her eye for spotting a slight imperfect of the movement pinpoints problems and her corrections really make you get the most of the workout. The reformers are wonderful too and she does singles or duets.
To top of the great teaching the price is very good for Pilates.
