Personal Training Has Never Looked So Good or Been Priced So Well.

By Loren Greiff

For most of us, working out is not exactly the most enjoyable hour or so of the day. Getting to the gym and making it through the session requires serious motivation. And, unless you’ve got the focus day after day – and know exactly what you’re doing, chances are you’re not apt to get the results you’re looking for. This is especially true if you’re seeking substantial weight loss. Without the help of a personal trainer it’s too easy to get frustrated and quit before you get ahead and benefit from all you put forth.

Body Empowered Fitness located in Highland Park and Northbrook specializes in training regular people like you and me who have busy lives, demanding careers, scheduling commitments with their children, and countless other priorities.

Take Elizabeth Fish from Deerfield, who recently lost 48 lbs over the past 6 months! The trainers at Body Empowered Fitness were committed to helping her succeed and guided her every step of the way.

2Hot Yoga&Pilates

Highland Park
1500 Old Deerfield Road Suite 7
(847) 831-YOGA

No worries - yoga, hot yoga, power yoga, chisel yoga and yoga yoga are still considered hot among the lean and mean, but now Pilates shares the glow among North shore fitness freaks. Among the newest hot spots in the North Shore is 2Hot Yoga&Pilates,(click here to see the 2hot studio video) just opened by co-owners Desiree Rijos and Randy Anbar. This studio opened in January is conveniently located in Highland Park, tucked just behind the Jewel and next to Ken's Quick Print.

This yoga and pilates haven combines classes and one-to-one training in a serene setting. Certainly not a gym, the focus here is on detoxification and relaxation. Des and Randy have attended to every detail. The towels smell great, the incense is light and fragrant - there are even a few dressing rooms and soon to come -- massage to continue your relaxation vacation.

An important distinction to 2Hot is the emphasis and commitment to Joseph Pilates' methodology and equipment. Here you will only find machines manufactured by Gratz, the 70 year old company that continues to create in tradition of the original Pilates design with leather straps and wooden carriage. Des and Randy are firm believers that equipment is key to maximum pilates benefits and are proud to offer their clients only the best.

I sampled a vinyasa yoga class with heat (85°) and lost my reformer virginity here and loved it.

The heated yoga studio did it for me. Imagine, in this bone chilling weather you're able to comfortably go barefoot and be scantily clothed while your muscles get warm, loose and limber. I broke a sweat early on and effortlessly made it through a big Evian bottle. When the class was over I felt relaxed, like melted butter. Post shower my skin was pink and especially healthy looking.

With only mat classes as my pilates experience I found the reformer one-on-one training session very educational and extremely challenging. If you're serious about pilates I would strongly recommend going with specialized instruction at a private studio vs. gym. That's because, you want to make sure you're working with someone who's truly properly trained and has the experience to work with your body plus all its quirks. Madonna, my instructor told me that "I have a deep core" which made me feel great - and thankfully didn't mention that my flexibility was much to be desired.
