I love this place. Everyone there is friendly. The energy is positive and happy. The Pilates classes have been so helpful with my strength and posture. Rena Regan rocks! Her classes are great. She pays close attention to everyone and makes sure everyone is doing the exercises correctly. She is really sweet.

My Refresh story…

I have been coming to Refresh Pilates and Wellness Studio for two years. It is simply the BEST on every level; workout, instructors, atmosphere and cost. I have chronic low back issues which had eliminated some of workout choices from the past.

Being a fitness fan, I was happy to find pilates/yoga, as it allows me to continue a total body workout regimen that is low impact and effective. The instructors are amazing and challenge you to be your very best. The zen like atmosphere helps you relax to enjoy the hour you took for yourself.

The offer many packages to fit any budget. RPWS also provides an exceptional physical therapy service. Their PT team is knowledgeable, dedicated and caring. They truly treat you like family.

Going to a Pilates class at Refresh is my favorite act of self-care. I love walking into the studio first thing in the morning with the sun streaming through the windows and the calming scent of lavender essential oil filling the air.

The instructors are extremely skilled at challenging you and helping you get the most out of your practice. After taking classes for just a few months, I feel strong, long, lean, and toned.

And, if you are experiencing pain of any kind, Refresh is the place to go! The staff are so knowledgeable, skilled, and will leave you feeling like the best version of yourself.

Dear Stephanie,

My apology for this long overdue THANK YOU! I wanted to reach out and extend my sincerest gratitude, thanks and LOVE for all you have done to help me in my journey to heal.

It was just about a year ago that I started with you to assist me with my back issues. After spending several sessions together, it was apparent that my issues were worsening, and you encouraged me to return to my doctor to get some updated MRI films Your experience brought me back to my doctor at which time they recognized the severity of the progression of my scoliosis.

We worked together on a plan along with my physicians, continued with pre-surgical strengthening therapy which was an integral part of preparing for this very involved corrective spine surgery. You, along with Helen and Rena helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Your encouragement, professionalism (including a lot of funny stories) and knowledge helped me to progress in my healing and for that I am forever grateful.

Each time I wanted to give up you encouraged me more, provided empathy, caring and a lot of laughter even when I just wanted to give up. This is truly a gift and I feel blessed that I was able to be given the gift of you and your staff during this challenging process. I would not be where I am today without all of you.

Today, after 9 months post-surgery I am participating in Pilates classes, walking and able to function independently. Each step in the right direction provides me with the additional courage needed to take the next step forward and pursue new challenges, I think it will be some time before I can do the Jump class (LOL) but I will take what I am doing now and continue to work on reinforcing those skills, so I can become stronger each day.

Please extend my sincerest thanks to all of those that participated in my care. You truly have been an angel in my life.

I began classes at Refresh Pilates in Homer Glen in February 2018, after being steered there by a friend. I was searching for a Pilates/Yoga studio, preferably family owned, not your typical run-of-the-mill national franchise. Refresh Pilates was the perfect place for me! Class size is limited, allowing for plenty of personal attention, which makes each class a virtual private lesson. The instructors are certified and very knowledgeable in the science behind Pilates. They are enthusiastic cheerleaders to their “students.”

Recently the studio was equipped with the latest innovative Reformers. (The machine/device utilized in Pilates.) If you are looking for a path to enhance your flexibility, endurance, strength and confidence, Refresh Pilates may be just the place for you.

I have been coming to Refresh Pilates Reformer classes for two years. I gave a tighter core, less back pain despite a herniated disk, am more toned overall and have lost 20 pounds. The classes make me push myself safely to where I would not push myself. Best gift to myself!

I have had a lot of PT in my life – never have I gotten the PT expertise and explanations of my issues as I have at Refresh! I would not go anywhere else for PT.

Professional, informative, and caring.

I noticed this place a couple years ago and have been wanting to check them out. When I saw that they would be having an Art of Meditation class last night I knew it was time to get my booty there. I’m so glad I went! Taylor was great. Soothing voice, encouraging words, helpful tips. And Toni was wonderful to chat with. I look forward to checking out one of her classes too. AndI have 3 friends wanting to do the Art of Meditation class whenever it happens again! How about soon and regularly? Once a month perhaps!! (Taylor makes really.good.sangria!!)
I will be back, ladies. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and welcome!

Took my first class on Sunday (Basics + Stretch) and went back today for Yogilates with Taylor. I was surprised at how much I love it and Taylor was a great instructor — great at giving feedback, encouraging and friendly. I was a little unsure after the first class whether I’d pick it up (having never done Pilates before), but felt confident and happy with my work in the second class. Signed up for a one month unlimited package and can’t wait to go back tomorrow!

Refresh Pilates is the absolute best! The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. I love this place!
