Purposeful Pilates

Purposeful Pilates is a top notch Pilates studio in the North Loop! Daniel is an amazing instructor who makes sure you understand “the why” behind each movement in Pilates so that you can get maximum benefits. She makes sure you stay safe, no matter what your body limitations are and cares about each of her clients. Practicing Pilates with Daniel has greatly reduced my back pain, increased my flexibility, and made me aware of how to better use my core throughout my everyday activities!

This is a fantastic studio. Sessions are a little more expensive than you might find at some of the larger fitness centers that offer Pilates, but it is worth every penny. Danielle, the owner, is very knowledgeable on the practice and takes a highly individualized approach to her instruction. She also maintains a meticulous studio with strict attention to cleanliness and equipment maintenance. I've been practicing about 10 years and I'll reserve my spot at this studio for at least the next 10!

Danielle (and all of her instructors) consistently give us a GREAT full body pilates workout. We've been seeing Danielle for 2+ years and we love her professionalism, her patience and her extensive knowledge of pilates. We also love the benefits that come with practicing Pilates regularly. We always leave feeling unbelievably better than when we arrived. Worth every penny!

Pilates is an ageless exercise regimen. At age 73, I need a fitness routine on which I can build a healthy lifestyle. More importantly, I need a coach who can push me to achieve my flexibility goals but also understand that I don't have the flexibility of a 30 year old. I have found both in Danielle. During my four years with Danielle, my stamina and balance have improved. I used to drag myself to the gym. Now I look forward to making more progress. My mental acuity has also improved. Danielle has a unique way of encouraging and challenging her clients and tailor fits (almost weekly) her workouts for the needs of the client as he or she walks through the door. Like I said, pilates is an ageless regimen with an intuitive coach like Danielle.

I have been a member of Purposeful Pilates for less than one year. Danielle Linneweber is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. She is quite conscious of each of her students limitations and purposefully monitors each of us while teaching. Her classes are fun and invigorating. I love it!
