February 2026 Spotlight | Studio Fit Chicago
Carrie Alden: Studio Fit Chicago’s February Star
At Studio Fit Chicago, we celebrate women who show up, put in the work, and inspire others through consistency and heart. This February, we’re thrilled to spotlight Carrie Alden, whose dedication to keeping up with her kids and welcoming spirit make her an invaluable part of our SFC community.
Nickname
Carrie’s family calls her Care for short, but otherwise she doesn’t go by any other nickname!
Carrie's Chicago Favorites
When she’s not crushing workouts in the studio, Carrie has some fantastic recommendations for Chicago’s vibrant food scene. Her favorite bar is The Aviary—she loves their creativity! For restaurants, Carrie is always up for trying new places and has never had a bad meal at Armitage AleHouse. While she’s not a sweets person, she does miss the delicious treats from Dinkel’s Bakery.
The Studio Fit Experience Through Carrie's Eyes
Carrie is a huge advocate for the supportive environment we strive to build. Her reason for encouraging other ladies to join SFC is powerful:
“Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. Studio Fit gives you the structure, accountability, and motivation to stay consistent without any intimidation.”
It’s a perfect reminder that the right community makes all the difference in showing up and staying committed to your fitness journey.
A Journey of Strength and Balance
For Carrie, joining the Studio Fit Boss Year has been a total game-changer for her daily life. Her favorite result? Increased mobility, agility, and energy to be able to keep up with her kids! There’s nothing more motivating than having the strength and stamina to match your children’s boundless energy, and Carrie has found exactly that at SFC.
What’s on Carrie’s Playlist?
Carrie’s workout soundtrack is a throwback to the golden age of Hip Hop! She’s been loving introducing her kids to old school 90’s Hip Hop and Rap. There’s something special about sharing the music you love with the next generation while getting an amazing workout in!
Carrie, your energy and commitment are a true inspiration to our community. You’ve shown that when you find the right environment with structure, support, and zero intimidation, staying consistent becomes second nature—and the results speak for themselves!

Symptoms of Perimenopause?
We’re Here to Help!
Perimenopause is simply a natural transition in a woman’s life, yet let’s be honest; when hormones start doing the tango, it can feel anything but “simple.” That’s where supportive fitness and nutrition can make all the difference. At Studio Fit Chicago, we help you adapt to these changes so you can keep conquering your day without missing a beat (or a squat).
Nutritional GUidance and Support for Holistic Health
Exercise is important, but it’s only part of the picture. Every woman’s body is different, and so are her nutrition needs. Boost energy, lose fat, build strength, or just feel more in control of your health, we got you. A strong semi-private training program goes beyond workouts. It should include a look at your current eating habits, with practical guidance around nutrient timing, and balanced meal.
