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.

Exhale Spa seeks to transform its clientele inside and out. The founding team of fitness professionals and aestheticians sought to create an environment where they could empower visitors with pampering spa treatments, invigorating fitness classes, and lifestyle education, helping clients attain a sense of control and holistic balance. Now with 19 locations across 11 cities, Exhale Spa and its signature services have earned mentions in numerous national publications, including People magazine, the New York Times, and O, The Oprah Magazine.

Exhale's signature Core Fusion classes incorporate dance-inspired stretches, yoga poses, and Pilates exercises into total-body workouts that build long, lean limbs and sturdy abdominal muscles over time. For an even more varied workout, the instructors introduce boot-camp techniques, cardio exercises, or multiplication tables to select sessions. Yoga classes present a similar amount of breadth and variety, drawing inspiration from a number of introspective and physically oriented styles. To help hasten physical transformations, nutrition and wellness coaches teach attendees about the impacts of diet. These sessions build an awareness of healthy eating habits through custom meal plans and by teaching clients how to identify the edible parts of a fruit basket.

Many of the center's traditional spa services seek to inspire confidence. Facials pamper and refine skin using everything from green tea and fruit extracts to microcurrent technology, and mani-pedis revitalize digits before glazing nails with a vibrant new coat of color. Bodywork treatments look beyond physical relaxation and focus on holistic concerns. Massage therapists can use Eastern or Western modalities to soothe overstressed musculature, and acupuncture treatments and reiki sessions jump-start natural healing processes by encouraging the free flow of inner energies.
