Our Story

From a passion project to a studio of our own

Noor Pilates was always a passion project: bringing pilates to communities where pilates was inaccessible. Growing up in the city of Chicago and trying everything from swimming, weight training, tennis, and lagree to pilates, having access to different types of workouts allowed the owner, Sarah, to really transform her life through fitness and find a thriving community.

Pilates transforms the way you move throughout life, and we want to bring that experience to you, and encourage you to find a community that loves to move as much as you do.

Now, In The Suburbs
Our goal is to offer pilates that's fun, challenging, and pushes you to grow in that same way.
Our Team Mascots

The heart of the owners

If you see Toothless and Harleigh roaming around and wonder who they are, they're our team mascots, and the heart of the owners.

Toothless
Our resident kitten and studio mascot. When Noor Pilates was just an idea, Toothless was already there, and throughout the hard work of building the studio, this little one motivated and inspired us to keep going.
Harleigh Forever With Us
Harleigh was there from the very beginning too, and has since become an angel. Our kittens are the reason we work hard to make Noor Pilates a space for everyone, and Harleigh's spirit is part of that every day.

Noor Pilates is all about community

We believe in partnering with organizations and charities that help bring the benefits of pilates to our community. Noor Pilates has always been about creating a safe, inclusive space for women to move mindfully. We're so proud of the relationships we've built to allow hundreds of women to gather and have fun practicing pilates
