Choosing a Chicago studio after 40
If it has been a while since you worked out, look for a studio that runs a dedicated beginner or intro class, offers an introductory rate for your first visit, and has instructors who will show you modifications. Pilates (especially reformer) tends to be gentle on the joints while still building real strength, which is why it is a popular starting point for women over 40. Call ahead and ask whether your first class is suited to beginners.
