NTC Chicago

I love the Nike Training Center classes. What’s not to like about free classes… well except the intense work out part for those of us not too athletic. :) As I mention before it’s FREE! They used to host classes in Lincoln Park, but now they are on Michigan Avenue.
The studio is tucked away on Michigan Avenue next to Cole Haan. If you walk to fast you might miss the entrance. I like that the classes look out over Michigan Avenue and you get a great view while you’re working out. I’ve only done a few classes, but the instructors are always knowledge, energetic, and very encouraging. Last night I did the Soccer Yoga class and it was fun. Yoga mats were provided and they have lockers in the studio (free of charge) Being a yoga newbie the instructor did a fantastic job demonstrating the moves. I was surprised you really work up a sweat doing some of them. The classes sizes are big, but not too big. I think there were around 25 people at the yoga class.
Only con I would say are these classes fill up fast. They used to show a month worth of classes, but now they only post them by week. They publish the weekly calendar every Sunday at 2:00pm, so just try to be on it. Great place to go to work out with your girls or even by yourself.
