Hi! I’m Rachel Golston, owner of Solaris Pilates.

I began practicing Pilates during my first bout with cancer. Not only was I immediately hooked, but I found it helped me recover, physically and mentally, in a way that nothing else had. A few years later, I got cancer again, and it was during that second battle that I decided to exit the corporate world and teach Pilates full time.

Although I work with all types of clients, I have a special passion for helping current & former cancer patients regain their strength and mobility with Pilates. It is something I deliberately specialize in, and you can often find me teaching classes at several cancer survivorship centers around the Chicagoland area.

Right now, Solaris is an onsite only business, offering sessions both in clients’ homes and at a couple of different studios. I plan to open a brick-and-mortar studio in Chicago soon—stay tuned!
