I have been joining classes at TTB for a couple months now. After trying one class, I knew I wanted to sign up for a monthly membership. As a person who has group fitness related anxiety and spent too much time in recent years not being active, I could not feel more grateful for finding TTB. The owner and instructors are vibrant and supportive and encourage you to meet your body where it's at while challenging you to grow at the same time. The community they have created is inclusive, welcoming, and genuinely just a lot of fun! This is probably the first time in my adult life I have looked forward to my weekly fitness routine. 10/10 recommend signing up.

This. Is. It. Exactly what you're looking for. The "I've always wanted to be a dancer" inside you calling out? TTB scratches that itch and gives you so much more on top of it. A place to dance, move, make friends, be yourself, relax, restore, and have FUN. I've been a regular Belle Gang member for about a year now, and I've gained SO much in terms of strength, confidence, agility, mobility, and overall solidarity among a supportive and never judgmental community. There's always something new to try, new to lean into, so you never get bored at TTB. Plus, the apparel is super cute, so are the dogs, and the owner, Steph, is PHENOMENAL, warm, and a fantastic instructor, as are Amelia and Katie. All know how to motivate using their own unique styles and approaches. Steph makes you feel at home immediately, and her dynamic personality is reflected in the many bonus classes and social events she comes up with. A bonafide host who makes sure your experience never grows lackluster. You'll get so much good out of these classes, and best place to be is where I am now -- comfortable enough to push myself, with plenty of room to grow and a desire to keep leaning in.

I’ve been coming to TTB since 2018, and even though there are a lot of really good boutique fitness studios in Chicago, this one just feels like home. The classes offered here vary greatly and help build a wide range of skills, from kettlebell strength training, to dance, to yoga, as well as fun one-off workshop classes like burlesque! The studio owners are real music lovers and the playlists are well-curated and different than you’ll find in a lot of other studios. The instructors and other students are so kind and welcoming, it’s the kind of place where people will know your name, and there’s a real focus on accepting everyone no matter their fitness level and celebrating achievements along the way. If you think you can’t show up to any particular class because it’ll be too hard or you won’t be good enough, don’t worry about it, just show up anyway and try your best, you’ll get plenty of encouragement and support! And as a bonus, there are often two sweet chihuahuas in the studio for post-class snuggles. ❤️

Thanks to ClassPass, I was able to go to two different classes at Through the Body Dance & Fitness studio! ?I really enjoyed the following two classes: Dance Team Dropout and Girls Got Rhythm. The studio itself has an unmistakably cool vibe, as you can see from the photos. All the instructors matched this vibrant energy, and the usual class goers were genuinely kind as well. Together with MaZi dance studio in Wicker Park, this studio became one of my top 3 favorite dance studios in Chicago? !!

This awesome studio has all the best classes! We especially liked Girls Got Rhythm, which is founded on dancing and nonstop movement, a cool studio and a total vibe. The owner is great, very flexible and open and the prices are within reach. Recommend!

I enoyed my class here. I signed up through class pass. I have been wanting to take a class here for awhile. The owner taught my class and was really approachable. I don't think she was scheduled to be there and filling in. Overall I enjoyed the workout. The dance floor is good. Sound system was nice. Studio was clean. Choreography wasn't hard. Took some time to get because things were not reviewed for the whole song, but I get that. I think the more you go ...you will know the routines and it will be fine. I believe a beginner would be comfortable in this setting. There clearly was a core group of regulars but they weren't exclusive so that's good. I would like to come back for the kettle bell class. Check it out if you like to dance and enjoy free parking. Tip: 1st class is only $10 through their website

This studio is the best! I attended my first class after a Google search of dance studios in the area and this studio exceeded all expectations. I love everything about the studio. From the owner, other teachers, classes and members. Stephanie, the owner, is fantastic! She cares so much about each class she teaches and goes above and beyond! There are so many types of classes to choose from! From Pound, dance cardio, kick boxing to yogalates! Every class is organized and structured so well! Every class was a great work out and I lost weight quickly while having fun! In addition I am gaining strength that I didn't know I had in me! Do not hesitate to book your first class because you will not be disappointed. I'm so thankful for the studio it has truly been life changing!

I have so much fun at TTB. Stephanie is so chill and a great instructor, helping cultivate a really welcoming community there. The classes are challenging and the music is great- especially the 80s metal and rock workouts- it cracks me up. Things are varied enough and I'm just so thankful she's keeping this going during our stay-at-home order. Continuing to work out at home is my everything right now, and it's wonderful to 'see' each other and still feel connected. Can't wait to get back there in person!

I have been going to Through the Body for several years now. I really enjoy the flexibility of the class pack. There are so many times throughout the year when Stephanie offers discounts. The class passes don’t expire for an entire year! On Black Friday, I was able to get a 20 class pass for the price of 10. It is easy to sign up for classes through the website. I have always been able to sign up and attend a class even a half hour before it begins. Occasionally, I’ve needed to cancel right before the class begins. When this happens, I noticed that I wasn’t penalized. Street parking is easy and always available.

She does an excellent job of building a community by providing fun monthly get togethers. Her workouts are fun and challenging. She uses engaging music and clear instructions to keep people energized and focused. The variety of class types keeps my body challenged and my motivation high.

I can’t say enough great things about this studio! I was looking for a workout that would be dance-oriented with choreography and this place was spot on for this with its dance fitness classes! The best part is that I met Stephanie who not only is an amazing instructor for the classes, but I hired her to she choreograph a dance to a medley of music through the decades. She was talented, professional, and has such positive energy. With her help we perfected an awesome performance!
