Studio Three

I’ve been there a few times on class pass. Jeanine on Saturdays for spinning is AWESOME! She has so much energy, plays great music, is very motivating, and really gets the class energized. The staff is very helpful-​they will adjust bikes for you and help you clip in and out. I would highly recommend going to Studio Three.

I normally go to flywheel via classpass but decided to check out studio three this week. The peloton bikes are incredible — I felt the ride was incredibly smooth and this dramatically improved my form during the class.
I also really liked the personal computer at each bike which reflects your stats and the leaderboard (there is an option to hide the board so you only see your own info)
I thought the music selection could have been better but obviously that depends on instructor.
Can’t wait for my next class!

The workout trifecta — spin, interval training & yoga. Spin class is a great workout & really challenges you. I’m a huge fan of spinning and have been to multiple studios and I really enjoy the Peloton bikes + its ability to track each ride. Antonia is a great instructor and has amazing energy! Will be back today :) The price is on point and in fact, is more affordable than many boutique classes in the area.

Love love love this studio! Why? Well…
1. The locker room. It’s spacious (both small and tall lockers you don’t need to bring your own lock for), has razors/​shaving cream, and ~7 showers. Morning classes can be a bit crazy, but you‘ll get a shower and out the door in time. Only downside is only 3 or 4 hair dryers.
2. As a frequent spinner (Soul, FlyWheel, Equinox) this definitely ranks up there with my favorites. It combines the competitive aspect of FlyWheel (Screens on your bike with a scoreboard which you can opt in or out of) with the motivation of Soul. I also love that the bikes aren’t on top of eachother, so you‘re not dying of heat as I typically am in Soul studios.
3. It’s on ClassPass. I don’t personally have ClassPass, but I have FOMO daily about it and bring my friends who do have it with me to class.
4. They have HIIT classes without the treadmill. My alltime favorite workout is Orange Theory, and although I can’t do it anymore due to the impact, their AMPED HIIT class doesn’t use running on the treadmills. Torched does, so if that IS your thing, they have that too! (Just no heart rate monitors).
5. Staff is super friendly and there’s a juice bar out front if you need something post workout.
6. They have Yoga too, so really– whatever type of workout you want, they have. (Haven’t done the yoga but felt I should throw that out there as an FYI for all you Yogis)

If I was reviewing on class quality alone– I would give the studio 4 stars. Some teachers are better than others, but I have enjoyed trying out all classes. I was going to cancel my gym membership and get one of the monthly plans at Studio three. I spoke with a manager on Friday about pricing options and inquired if there would ever be a deal better than the current 30% off. He said absolutely not, this is the best there will ever be. I felt he was condescending and I was very put off by his demeanor. The next day, new/​reduced prices were released. I felt very much taken advantage of, as the manager was lying to my face in order to make the sale. Even though I do like the classes, I feel like the membership prices are higher than necessary and a little duped by the management staff. Will not join on principle at this point.

I first came to Studio Three about a month ago via Class Pass. I’m an avid attendee of all spinning and HIIT studios on CP. However, I recently put CP on hold and bought the unlimited at Studio Three because it’s that good (and they’re offering 30% off memberships right now). If Flywheel and Shred415 had a baby, it would be Studio Three. I’m beyond hooked.

I have walked past the construction of Studio Three for the past few years and was excited that they finally opened. Last week a friend gave me a free pass that she had received, I was excited to finally check it out. This morning I went to Danny B’s Hot Vinyasa class. And while he was a great teacher and enjoyed the class I hated my experience. When I first walked in I went straight to the check in desk, I said that I had signed up for a yoga class and it was my first time at the studio. The girl working the front desk checked me in and told me to walk up the stairs. The people at the yoga front desk were so unfriendly. I told them it was my first time at Studio Three and they were of no help, that didn’t seem interested in helping me at all. Needless to say classes are expensive and I hated the unfriendly environment so I’ll never go back.

Erin, Antonia, Dani and Jeanine are a MUST! I just started working out here, but it is a beautiful space. The support staff is nice. The Peloton bikes are amazing! Smooth as butter. I have been to Flywheel and Soul Cycle and I prefer this studio.

I was devoted to flywheel but once I learned about flywheel instructors going to studio three and their promo for monthly membership, I had to switch!
The facility itself is nice. The bikes are better than flywheel’s or at least they feel that way to me. I love that im not so close to people that we hit each other during arms — except for one seat in the corner that I just avoid! I would totally give the cycling classes a 5!
I took a few yoga classes and I only liked one. One instructor (Mar), i think, was teaching for the first time. She didn’t know what she was doing and her class lacked. Another female instructor was super nice but she too lacked flow and needed to learn about transitions. There is a male instructor who taught a fix it stretch class who was fabulous! He actually knew about modifications and was able to adjust people to help them get the postures right.
I loveeeee Dani’s hiit class! I totally hate Dustin’s class. Dani will help people figure things out when they do something wrong while Dustin is too into himself. He works out at times with clients during class when he really should be focused on clients and what they are doing. Just take Dani’s class! The hiit classes are an excellent workout!!!

Torch with Dustin was absolute FIRE. The class was spaced out so well that I never felt bored or over exhausted with each station and it made the 60 minutes fly by. Dustin was motivating and energized without bullying which is so key. He made you feel pumped up to be part of the class and to do your best work. I felt so good the next day — a total body workout. Honestly my only wish was that it wasn’t so expensive but I promise any time there are deals or specials I will be there!

I tried Studio Three through ClassPass. It was AMAZING! I have only done Torch and Amped (HIIT classes) so far and I love them. Lucy and Dani are great. I took one with Josh, and it was just ok. If you like good music to work out to, definitely go with Lucy or Dani.
The reason I can’t give Studio Three 5 stars is because it’s so expensive! You can only go 3 times per month with ClassPass, and if I wanted to go more, it is $ 200 – 300 per month. Even if I just did HIIT classes for a month, it’s $ 200. I would love to join, but it’s too much for a gym.

I went to a Sunday morning spin class via ClassPass with Audrina (?) and it was awesome. Everyone was really friendly, great facilities and the class started/​ended on time. Definitely recommend!
P. S. Don’t bother bringing your own cycle shoes because they have special Peloton shoes for you to wear.

This place is awesome. The yoga studio is relaxing and beautiful. And the instructor was nice, asked each student if there’s something we wanted to focus on, and helped those who needed help with poses. I can’t wait to try my next class!

Tries Studio 3 through Classpass. I took a Peloton cycling class and loved it! It’s the first class I’ve taken that rivals, if not beats Flywheel. Equipment was brand new and loved the set up of having your own mini iPad.
Aside from the class, the studio is beautiful! So modern and clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful as well. Definitely a fan and will be back!

The spin class was awesome! The bikes are really nice and sturdy with a computer screen in front. Create a Peloton username before coming incase you are running late but it only takes a few moments to create one there. Also, the locker room is very nice with shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors, and blow dryers. Can’t wait to try the other classes.

Just took a HIIT class with Wes and it kicked my a**. Wes was an amazing instructor and totally patient with all levels of fitness ability. His music in the class rocked and kept us motivated the entire time. I will totally be returning!

I took a spin class recently and the instructor was great, the spin studio and equipment were first rate, and the staff was nice (the locker rooms weren’t great considering how nice the rest of the facility is). The main reason that I don’t rate it higher is because I wasn’t really on board with them taping or streaming the class live if I’m paying $ 200 per month for spin classes only. I tried a class here primarily because I like what they’re trying to do as far as offering live classes on the web from the standpoint of someone who might purchase a Peloton bike for home use. For the same reasons I don’t tape sporting events to watch after they happen, I have never liked having to access fitness videos after they’ve already taken place. For me at least there’s something about participating in the class real time even though I know it shouldn’t matter. Having said that, being an actual part of the production in the studio made me feel like an unpaid actor and at the very least I would think that the studio would charge less given that they are taking in $ 40/​month from users on the web. I guess what it comes down to is if someone wants to look at my junk on the web I should get some kind of discount from the studio in return for providing the content.
Also, I just noticed this from a previous post but some of the earlier reviews don’t seem to come from completely unbiased users if you know what I mean. I don’t even know if the studio was open when a few of the reviews were posted.

I looked at this place because it is 2 blocks from my house. My next step is to go to Unilocal to see the reviews. Does anyone else think it is expensive? Monthly unlimited for all three studios, $ 300? $ 21-​$ 25 a visit if not buying unlimited packages.
Also, all the reviews sound very much the same to me… just saying

I have waited for this studio to open for over 3 years. My boss has a Peleton bike at her home and I have used it and could NOT believe how smooth it was. Last week I was able to finally ride a Peleton bike in the new studio and was blown away. The bike was even better then I remembered. The technology is amazing. The studio is gorgeous with plenty of room inside as well as outside the studio. You are not being pushed around by sweaty people trying to get to their lockers. Antonia has so much energy that the time flies by so fast. Erin and Dani are incredible instructors and I can’t wait to try allthe other spin teachers.
I also tried yoga and could not believe how gorgeous the yoga studio was. My class was very good. I am not a yoga expert, but I really loved the energy in this class and was challenged.
I have not tried a HIIT class, but alot of my friends did and all of them ravec about it.
What a great idea to have 3 boutique workouts under one roof and all for a very reasonable price!

I have been to this gym 5 times in 5 days. I cannot stress this enough — it’s phenomenal! I have taken four spin classes and one HIIT class. Peloton is unlike any other class that I have tried (FlyWheel, Soul Cycle, etc). Erin and Antonia had so much energy and the classes were so well coordinated! Before you know it, you’ll be out of there in 45 minutes and drenched in sweat. As some of the reviewers mentioned, the room is huge so you are not on top of the person next to you.
They had a soft opening and every day that I attended, I was greeted with smiles and help at the front desk. Jason, the manager, was all over the gym giving tours and answering questions from everyone. The entire staff was asking for feedback and ways to improve. They listened to suggestions from every single person there.
The facility is gorgeous and I will certainly be back once they open on Wednesday. Give it a shot — the first class is cheaper than most of the gyms in River North and you have nothing to lose! Just be warned… you’ll be hooked!
