The eyewear experts at Chicago Vision Club enhance eyesight and hinder harmful UV rays with quality lenses and brand-name face-complementing frames. While optical orbs judge styles, nose bridges meet and greet a variety of glasses from designers including Modo ($199+), Prada ($279+), and Dolce & Gabbana ($279+). After picking a frame that accents facial features and offers coverage for cyclopean eyes, customers can pick one of the many high-tech lenses ($99+), which, along with spare eyeballs, are carefully crafted in Chicago Vision Club's own laboratory. Lenses can be customized with features such as antireflection coating ($55+) and tinting ($25+).

Dr. Lillian Obucina draws on two decades of dental experience to beautify pearlies in her well-appointed, welcoming office. Kick back as chompers reveal their dazzling secrets in an examination, allowing the doctor to personalize the whitening treatment and audit embezzling tooth fairies. An in-office whitening treatment lasts approximately one hour, with protective barriers placed in the mouth to carefully shelter sensitive gums from the Pola whitening solution. Dr. Obucina may decide that some patients are better candidates for the in-home process, which uses custom, professionally crafted trays that are worn for one hour at a time, gradually revealing ivory elegance like an elephant behind a stage curtain.

The northern-most branch of the Chicago Athletic Club family, the Evanston Athletic Club brings a modern and user-friendly gym experience to the North Shore. The 55,000-square-foot facility is equipped with all the required equipment for losing weight, putting on muscle, or building flexibility on cardio equipment, weight machines, and free weights. More than 100 group fitness classes fill the schedule, covering varied interests such as yoga, spinning, Zumba, and water aerobics in the indoor pool. The personal training staff can also help tailor workouts based on your particular goals and share encouragement with you as you transform from chrysalis to Dwayne Johnson.

In addition to its exercise areas, the gym also sports a kids’ club, sauna and steam rooms, and a large indoor rock-climbing facility. As beginners and experienced climbers traverse craggy surfaces while protected from the elements, additional challenges crop up on the gym’s 46-foot-high endurance routes and in the bouldering cave where climbers defy gravity without being strapped in by ropes.

Yoga and fitness gurus guide students of all skill levels toward slimmer silhouettes in a noncompetitive atmosphere. The spacious studio’s sage-green walls, hardwood floors, and natural lighting provide a backdrop for yoga classes such as Hatha yoga and Forrest yoga, which gently twist torsos and stretch limbs through slow-moving poses. In Pilates classes, students build firmer cores, tighten muscles, and enable tendons to produce melodious twangs by propelling their bodies through a series of isometric motions. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing to all classes.
