Kate Stahl | January 31, 2011 8:02 amOne thing Chicago isn't lacking: a huge variety of amazing gyms and fitness studios. The only problem is which one to choose — after all, gym memberships in the city don't come cheap.

Kate Stahl | November 10, 2010 8:00 amMy name is Kate, and I'm addicted to barres — only this kind doesn't come with cocktails, creepy guys asking for your number, or the next-day hangover.
