(Re)Form Pilates Chicago | Safe, Supportive Pilates for All

Dawn Antonow, the owner and instructor at (Re)Form Pilates Chicago, set out to create something truly different—a safe, welcoming environment for everyone, but especially for women over 50 who may feel apprehensive about walking into a typical Pilates studio. Her goal was to eliminate intimidation and offer an inclusive space where individuals can reconnect with their bodies and build confidence through movement.

At (Re)Form, this is more than just fitness—it’s a space to transform your relationship with movement and your body. As we age, staying active becomes essential for maintaining both physical well-being and mental clarity. Here, you’re encouraged to meet your body exactly as it is—embracing each day, each emotion, and each challenge with compassion and presence.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your routine, refine your form, or reach new goals, (Re)Form provides a supportive community where you can reconnect with your strength and lay the foundation for a lifetime of mindful movement.

Through small, form-focused group classes, Dawn blends the six core Pilates principles with modern techniques, offering personalized attention in an intimate setting. This approach helps you move better, feel stronger, and live with greater intention—at any stage of life.
