Why You Should Go: Whether you're slumped over your computer or hunched over the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy, there is much to malign about your alignment. Straighten up while sculpting long, lean, dancer-like muscles at Posture Perfect Pilates in the South Loop.

What to Choose:

• $59 for crash course of three one-on-one Pilates sessions ($99 value)
• $45 for five Pilates mat classes ($75 value)

Why You'll Love It: Whether you’re lean and limber or stiff as a board, these classes will give you a hard-core workout in the encouraging atmosphere of a small group (no more than 10 students per class). Newbies can learn the ropes in three 30-minute one-on-one sessions or old pros can opt for five 60-minute mat classes to refine techniques and sculpt long, lean muscles.

What You Should Know: PPP's classically trained instructors are extremely talented (and limber), in fact, some are even former pro dancers. As they guide you through each stress-reducing, body-sculpting workout, they'll offer up unpretentious and encouraging instruction so you feel comfortable no matter your ability to count to a hundred.
