The Active Girl’s Ultimate Guide To Chicago

For a quick and crazy-effective workout when you’re on the go, this high-intensity fitness studio is as trendy as its Bucktown/Wicker Park location. Each class takes you through a 50-minute workout on a Megaformer machine (sort of like a Pilates reformer on too much caffeine), for a balance of strength, cardio, and zen. You’ll need to wear grippy socks during the class, but if you forget to pack yours, you can always buy some at the studio.
