Pure Pilates Chicago — Local services in West Chicago Township

A dear friend brought me to Kym when I was physically in very bad shape after an extended illness that left me weak and uncoordinated. I was barely able to walk normally because of a lifetime of back, hip, ankle, and toe injuries that were not properly healed. Kym evaluated my unique challenges and carefully modified my pilates program to address each of those limitations. In addition, Kym also has personal experience with nutritional support challenges and is able to recommend safe options, which has helped me learn to eat again while addressing my unique and previously debilitating chemical sensitivities and allergies to food and environmental substances.

Kym is an expert at reading the needs of my body and tailors the movements accordingly. I find myself hearing Kym's voice about proper alignment, centering, anchoring, etc. as I apply those concepts to moving safely in my daily life. It is a blessing to have Kym and the Pure Pilates team to guide me into a more healthy, self care mindset. I can wholeheartedly say that Kym has created an intimate, safe, and welcoming place for people like me who are not athletically inclined and are body shy in public. Pure Pilates is a sanctuary zone for me now. Kym is also very flexible in scheduling my sessions to fit my very intense work schedule.

I am happy to say that after nearly a year of focused private and duet sessions that I am now able to do a sit up safely and can touch the floor without falling over! I have lost over 20 pounds related to water retention and inflammation. My fat is melting away and my muscle tone is evening out. It feels so great to be able to move again. Kym is gradually extending my movements and says that I am soon to "graduate" to an intermediate level. At 49 years old, I feel young again and am excited that I can keep up with my students and actively engage in life as we are called to be.

Just as my friend recommended Kym to me, I recommend Kym and her Pure Pilates team to you. Kym combines her extensive knowledge and skills with a caring heart. I am truly thankful that Pure Pilates is a safe environment where one can be...

Meeting Kym Costa was one of the best things that's happened to me. I have fibromyalgia and various joint and feet issues from dancing my whole life. Kym taught a ballet class I was in and introduced me to Pilates & JuicePlus and I am so grateful she did. I lost weight, strengthened my core, and just feel better all around. Kym is such a caring, knowledgeable person that she lights up a room. Taking classes with her has allowed me to build up strength and tone my muscles so much that my pain is manageable without prescription meds. She makes everyone feel comfortable in class no matter your level. She'll provide modifications for injuries or different skill levels and never make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. If you want to feel better physically and mentally, I highly recommend visiting Pure Pilates Chicago. I've been doing classes on Zoom from home since the pandemic and it's made such a terrible year a...

Pure Pilates is the BEST pilates studio you can hope to find in the Chicago area. Kym and her team are master Romana's pilates instructors who will help you build the strength, flexibility and control that comes with true pilates. They are warm, positive, and highly encouraging all the while helping you go from wherever you're starting in physical fitness. I worked with Kym almost 20 years ago, then life and careeer took over and after many years I wanted to get back to the powerful way pilates makes me feel strong and healthy in my own body. Starting again from the very basics Kym and Danielle have truly helped me gain my foundational strength back and I'm progressing weekly with their expertise. I highly recommend Pure Pilates Chicago and Kym and Danielle if you are looking for a true pilates practice and studio to work with the...
