"Respect" would be the word to describe the ethos of Sirron. Respect your body, respect others, respect the process and precision of pilates. Norris has collected a wonderful staff, and I have had the great fortune to work with Rachel for years. She is amazing! I highly recommend Sirron Pilates Studio for anyone looking to start or expand their pilates work!

I cannot recommend Sirron Pilates Studio enough! It's a true gem in the neighborhood and makes Pilates accessible not only to someone who has never done it before (that was me) but also affordable (for someone on a tight budget - also me). I had been dealing with debilitating back pain due to a herniated disc and taking privates and classes at this studio has seriously changed my life for the better (and I started going here after over a year of physical therapy). At this point I've worked with 4 of their instructors and each has tailored the workout for me based on my injury and also

My happiest place in Chicago. Sirron has the best vibe- welcoming, inclusive, and intense. I appreciate Norris kindness, his sense of aesthetics (what a beautiful studio!), and his careful instruction. And I loved my teacher Jennifer who pushed me in the best ways, always challenging me in the most productive ways.

This studio is great! It's cute, clean, and convenient. The class sizes are small, the private sessions are thorough, challenging and fun!
The owner was super helpful and fast with getting me set up for my first session. I had Kevin as an instructor, and he was GREAT. Perfect cues. Great job keeping it both challenging and listening to my needs/ wants/ preferences.
So glad I found them!

I was a client at Sirron for six years (2010-2016). I did not know what a great studio it truly was until I moved to another part of the city (very far South) and set my sights on finding a closer Pilates studio. I am now on my fourth Pilates studio and I think I found the right one for me. But back to Sirron...all the instructors are fabulous. They listen and try and help you reach your fitness goals. The classes are reasonably priced and effective. Sirron has made Pilates accessible for everyone. The space is very clean and inviting. The atmosphere is very calm. One of the things I've

I recently joined Sirron Pilates and have worked with three instructors so far. They all have their unique teaching styles and I have particularly enjoyed working with Rachel and Anna Martine. I like their Hands-On approach and have learned a lot from both. The studio is easy to find and kept clean at all times.

Horrible costumer service.
1- bad and misleading website
2- after 3 times (days) trying to get a phone call and no answer back I decided to click on "reserve spot" and showed up.
The owner who received me in bad manners and condescending voice turned me away and accused me that he heard my message and because I wanted to get in that day and he had no spot. Then, he decided to not call me back, I guess he does not need more costumes.
3- definitely I won't support their business.

I have been a client at Sirron for several years. Lindsey is a knowledgeable instructor. She keeps in mind any health issues I might have. Over time I know I have gotten stronger, my posture is better and I'm more flexible. No two classes are the same. It's amazing how many different exercises you can do with a single piece of equipment. I have also had Jennifer and Joan recently while Lindsey was unavailable. They were great. I enjoyed their style of instruction also.

I have been taking group classes at Sirron Pilates Studio for over a year, and it is by far the best Pilates studio I have been to. The classes are kept small, so you get a lot of one on one attention with the instructor. Most of my classes have been taught by Lindsey (I love Lindsey!), but all of the other instructors I have gotten to know are also incredibly knowledgeable and I learn something new at each class.

Started coming to Sirron more than a year ago. Followed my instructor from another location. Very welcoming, clean, warm, spacious and professional setting. Although the studio is on a busy stretch of Clark street, parking is never a problem just a block away on Ashland. Highly recommend the studio.

Can't say enough great things about Sirron Pilates! I just started there and plan to continue. It's a fantastic studio with a relaxing atmosphere and great instructors. You start with three discounted personal session to ease you into reformer machines and pilates technique then classes begin. Lindsey is a great instructor- she's easy to work with and has a great sense of humor. You really feel like you have personal attention at Sirron- and you do!

Sirron is an incredible space to practice Pilates. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the equipment is top of the line and the instructors are wonderful. I have taken classes (both group and private) with Ilana and Lindsey who are AMAZING - but every instructor there is friendly and helpful, offering tips and advice, or even just a nice conversation while you wait for class to begin. These people seriously know what they are doing and every class is different. Prices are incredibly reasonable. Even after moving to the suburbs I drive in to come here - I cannot believe how much my body has changed

I was VERY nervous to try Pilates due to my numerous health issues and my complete lack of athleticism. After 5 minutes into my session with Norris, my nerves were completely gone!
The studio is completely welcoming and not at all intimidating. A comfy waiting room with water and tea greets you upon entering. The studio is large enough for a private session and a class of three to happen at the same time, but still small enough that it feels personal and not at all overwhelming. The clients range from all different ages, physiques, and skill levels. The equipment is in wonderful shape, clean

I chose Sirron Pilates after being discharged from physical therapy- the therapist said I had reached a plateau following knee surgery and nothing more could be done. Since then, Paula at Sirron Pilates and I have met weekly for 3 months and I have regained strength and mobility. I look forward to every session and am amazed that seemingly small activities have such huge results.

I took 10 personal Pilates sessions in April 2009 for my wedding, I looked like a different person after working with Norris! He is a fantastic instructor! He listens to what you have concerns about and customizes your sessions to make sure you see it working. He challenges you and when you feel like you can't do a certain move or you can't take anymore, he has a way of making you believe you can. I looked forward to every session with him and was sad when my sessions were up. I would go back in a heartbeat, he is worth every penny!

I have spent years in a gym(also a gym owner) and was introduced to Pilates by Norris the owner of Sirron Pilates Studio. Since being introduced to Pilates I have taken instruction from other Pilates instructors. NO ONE I found compares to the instruction you recieve from Sirron Pilates.
Norris in my opinion, is the best around. He is focused, knowledgeable, and you feel great after a session. He has helped change the way I look and feel. I look forward to every session.

Sirron Pilates is the first place I've every worked out on Pilates machines. I've only taken a handful of mat classes, so I really didn't know what to expect. Norris is a great instructor, who is patience, encouraging. He walks you through all of the machines and exercise. (Plus he has great soundtrack playing in the background) I've discovered that I really like Pilates and look forward to my weekly sessions. After not working out for a year, I have noticed that I am stronger and slimmer. I don't know why I didn't start going to Sirron sooner.
