OBJECTIVE
12 Body Endeavors Pilates Classes for Just $66 (Normally $168)
TERMS

If we reach at least 25 groupons by May 10, 2009, then we will all get the discount

THE PITCH

Body Endeavors is offering 12 mat classes, normally $168, for just $66 (a savings of over 60%). This isn't your run-of-the-mill single discounted introductory class, but 12 TOTAL CLASSES for just $5.50 each. Take the $5.50 you were going to spend on that Hardees Thickburger and put it towards looking good. Body Endeavors classes are even a little less physically demanding to complete than a Hardees Endeavor. Pilates is a refreshing mind-body workout that strengthens your entire body by building flexible, lean muscles, and helping to prevent against injuries, while increasing muscle efficiency.

Body Endeavors has a great location at 1528 N. Halsted where since 1997, their expert staff have improved many Chicagoans lives with comprehensive fitness and wellness programs. No one has ever twisted their spine into a permanent pretzel shape at Body Endeavors.

The Body Endeavors studio is equipped with Pilates apparatus and group class space, cardiovascular equipment and free-weights. Enjoy the changing rooms with lockers, showers and restrooms for men and women, plus hair dryers, deodorant, towels and toiletries. Body Endeavors does not have a sundae bar, a place to change your motor oil or baby-eating dingoes anymore. Body Endeavors focuses on teaching the original exercises developed by mad genius Joseph H. Pilates in a strictly classical manner, exactly the way Beethoven learned Pilates.

Body Endeavors got a four-star average rating on Yelp:

  • "Great space and fantastic instructors. I have taken private lessons here from both the apprentice trainers and the fully-qualified trainers. The instructors work with you on very classical pilates (not Windsor, Stott, etc). This is very much in the style of Joseph Pilates. I think it is some of the best training in the city. Parking is easy and they offer water and tea. Definitely try out a class or session here." -Kristen S.
  • "I used to go to Body Endeavors twice a week. I did this for 3 years. While I currently can't do Pilates (unrelated shoulder injuries), I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in toning their body. I took inches off and reshaped my body in about 3 weeks (1 mat class and 1 semi-private per week) when I first started. The transformation is amazing." -Marianne G.
  • "I am a novice, and my instructor was very cognizant of it, and really helped me learn the sequences in a private session. Space is beautiful, very open, great location on Halsted, parking isn't too bad around there...good hours...Definitely a great experience for beginners through advanced. They have small locker rooms and cardio equipment to use before/after your session to warm up or get a good workout after...." -Colleen C.

Body Endeavors Pilates strives for total body conditioning, postural awareness, non-impact exercise, injury prevention and rehabilitation, improved breathing, better balance, muscle control and core muscle strength. You'll be so toned after 12 sessions, you'll be able to bounce quarters off of any part of your body. Whether you get a private, semi-private or super-ultra-semi private session, Body Endeavors will tailor the workout to your particular skill level. And if you're not happy with your weight loss, they'll refund your money in cupcakes so you can gain it all back.

    Hi

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any limitations to this coupon? Is it for group classes? Private? Certain days or times..? Thanks!

  • Tawana Banks

    Hi Kelli

    The coupon is only for group beginner mat pilates.

  • Kelli Clifford

    thanks! do you know the dates/times? Do you get to pick or is it predetermined?

    Based on what I have found on the Body Endeavors website, there is one mat class for beginners on Tuesday evenings at 6:45.

    They have a pretty handy online sing-up page for the classes that shows their schedule:

    I have phoned the studio to clarify what the coupon is redeemable for and will post their response ASAP.

  • Joe Harrow

    Here is a schedule for the different mat pilates classes available. http://bodyendeavorspilates.com/classesevents.htm . All the classes are drop-in, so no predetermination is necessary!

    I just got off the phone with Melissa at Body Endeavors, and here is how the deal works.

    The Groupon deal is redeemable for all Beginner and Beginner/Intermediate classes, so there are classes that we are eligible to sign up from Mon-Thurs evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. You can view their future class schedule by clicking the “Book Online Now” link on their home page. I have some Pilates experience, so she said I could handle the Beg/Int class, but if you are a Pilates virgin, you may want to ease into it with the Beginner class on Tuesday evenings.

    However, because they don’t have the ‘Groupon Deal’ in the online scheduling software as a form of payment, you have to call the studio to reserve a spot in the class. As part of the ‘Groupon Deal’ we will be emailed a discount authorization code next week and when we call to sign-up for the class, we tell the studio our discount code.

    Melissa at the studio was very helpful, but it seemed like they were still trying to figure out how the Groupon deal would be managed paperwork-wise. She also indicated that they would be adding more classes – especially since over 200 of these Groupon dealies were ordered!

    The phone number at the studio is (312) 202-0028.

    What about Int/Adv classes? I guess we would not be able to sign up for those?

    How about Magic Circle Mat? It is open to all levels. Would we be able to take that?

    Thanks!

  • Cassie C

    Yes, Int/Adv classes and Magic Circle Mat are all covered by this awesome Groupon! Enjoy!
