Align Studio

I had a spinal fusion from L4-​S1 in January 2014 and I’m 22 years old. I felt like an 80 year old until I started seeing Steven for myofascial work. He is extremely knowledgeable and understands the body. I see him every two weeks to maintain my body and keep it feeling young and healthy! If you’re having a problem, GO SEE HIM! Just do it. You’ll be so happy that you did.

Love the place! Steven is awesome! He is so informative… gets my body in the best shape and form! He know just what to do for my body type! I highly recommend him!

I love Steven, he understands what goals you want to reach as well as my body type. I am completely satisfied with his way of working towards that .He is amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone!

Great Pilates classes! Steven is a genius and recognizes the smallest adjustments to get more out of the specific position and workout. Clean and friendly environment!

After an injury that involved surgery, I was conservatively told by my doc that my best running days were behind me. Convinced that I would let that take me down, I sought advice after my PT ran out.
Steven was recommended by a friend.
I rarely say that I very pleased with service but this was an exception. He was very accommodating of schedule, and very attentive of my needs/​goals.
It was a wonderful feeling to have him help me overcome a nagging pain from the injury. In fact, it was only after his manipulation that I am back to the running pace I had prior to my injury.
His knowledge, results and demeanor are exemplary. Highly recommended.

All my life, I have been shamefully, shamefully remiss in «exercising» and «eating right» and «not smoking/​drinking too much.» I yam what I yam.
But movement-​adverse as I am, I have gone to mat classes at Align at least 7 times! (Baby steps, grasshopper.)
The prices are right, the location is accessible, the studio is welcoming, and the instructors are wonderful. For a serious gymophobe, Align is a blessing — and I imagine the same holds true even if you have no problem getting your (toned) butt to work out on a regular basis.
I may not go regularly, but when I do go, I love it.

ALIGN STUDIO BY FAR ONE THE BEST PILATE STUDIO IN CHICAGO I had Steven Winterstein he is very knowledgeable not only in Pilate training but in muscle any body mechanics. I was very impressed by him locating the weak point in my body and working to strengthen them. I feel amazing !!! I’m hair stylist and I stand on my feet all day long I defiantly feel the diffidence in my posture and my lower back. thank you Steven.

Align offers 1:1 pilates training and has suburb instrucors. I work with Krisin and she is highly knowledgable and sweet. If you have back problems, this is a great way to address them and get toned and strong in the process. I highly recommend Align.

I have been taking private pilates with Steven for 2 years; Steven has in-​depth knowledge of human body that he applies to pilates. In the time that I have been taking pilates at Align I have lost over 20 pounds, increased my strength and agility, and improved my bicycling form and endurance. I have tried other pilates studios in Lincoln Park and was very disappointed with the intimidating attitude. The environment and attitude at Align is comfortable, welcoming, and very conducive to learning and self-​improvement.
I have also taken group kettlebell classes with Gene, and found it to be a great workout. Even though it was a group class, Gene spent time with each person to work on their form.

Align’s classes rock! No where else can you get such a good cardio workout combined with Pilates. The cardio reformer and cardio Pilates mat classes really burn those calories. The kettlebell classes also really burn calories, and are a nice complement to Pilates and provide lots of overall strength training, as well as a good lower body workout. I think I’m even getting beachwear ready…

Align studio is a boutique style facility with a highly impressive, and skilled staff. They primarily instruct Pilates and offer custom Massage treatments. Although small in sqr. ft., I found it to pack a big punch in the results catagory. Sometimes its hard to believe that when you take initiative to better yourself and become fortunate enough to find places like this, it feels incredible and hard to say no! They offer plenty of value and in a great location.
