I have trained with Zoe at RITUAL and it has been life changing/ transformative. Zoe is an incredible trainer and the space is gorgeous. My body has transformed and the way I understand fitness has evolved completely. I saw Zoe before, during, and after my first pregnancy and she moved through all of those (very different) phases seamlessly and motivated and supported my fitness goals and evolving body throughout. Zoe also trains a few other people I know and she tailors the trainings to everyone differently based on their needs. I truly could not recommend Zoe and RITUAL fitness more highly.
Also I always had an easy time parking and could go get coffee or lunch after on York Street! A++ spot.

Cannot recommend Ritual Fitness enough! I’ve been going twice a week for personal training over the last seven months and my body has transformed. My workouts are never the same and Zoe’s adjustments make it impossible not to work exactly the muscles you’re supposed to be working which for me made all the difference.
I came to Zoe postpartum and she truly understood the balance between pushing my limits and respecting where I was at (always with encouragement and zero shame). Now, I actually look forward to our workouts and seek out other ways to be active/healthy in between sessions. Thanks in part to my workouts with Zoe the switch to caring about my body/mind/spirit’s been switched back on. If you’re considering personal training and you’re lucky enough to get a spot, jump in.

I recently took the HIIT-style class Rush with Zoe at Ritual Fitness in Highland Park, and it was an intense and rewarding challenge. Zoe delivered the ideal balance of cardio to get me sweating, paired with strength work that was both demanding and effective. Her high energy and the vibrant atmosphere of the early morning class made for a fantastic start to the day. Highly recommend if you’re ready to push yourself.

Natasha is an amazing trainer. I feel so lucky to have worked with her. I am an artist / musician who has never felt comfortable or confident in my body or in a gym. I also have injuries that have made it difficult for me to gain any traction without pain. Over the last several months, all of that has changed because of my 2x per week personal training with Natasha. I finally am starting to feel good about my body, and physical activities don’t cause me days of pain and tension. It feels like a gift and a game changer and I would recommend Natasha to anyone looking for the perfect combo of intensity, guidance, and encouragement.

Classes here are really expensive. And customer service (via email) isn't helpful at all.

I am forever grateful to have found Ritual! I had been searching for a gym in the area for awhile and wasn't really finding an environment I felt comfortable in. Once I took my first class at Ritual, I knew right away it was the place for me. The instructors are incredible, the classes are a ton of fun...but most importantly, it has such a down-to-earth, community feel. 10/10 the best studio!

I am so incredibly grateful to have found Ritual. I moved to Highland Park about a year ago and tried a few studios in the area but nothing that I felt super great about. From the very first class I took at Ritual, I knew this was going to be my new fitness community. I immediately felt comfortable, welcome, and at ease. It is the absolute best way to start my day. I highly recommend Ritual for anyone who is looking for a holistic, community experience. 10/10!

I did initially join the gym for the rebounder classes, which are so fun and totally unlike anything you will find at another gym and are a truly incredible workout. However I now take and love the full variety of classes they offer and leave every class I take dripping in sweat. The teachers know how to push you to challenge yourself in the most wonderful ways so you are always pushing yourself and getting stronger. The classes are challenging and rewarding and the community of people are wonderful and support each other. Classes are great. Vibes are great. Can’t recommend enough!

The most beautiful and welcoming community in the heart of highland park! Natasha and Zoe have the perfect balance of classes that target the whole body and mind. The instructors are so knowledgeable. Great for advanced or beginners! Do yourself a favor and check out a bounce class! So fun!!
