A Body In Balance Pilates Studio

Really poorly taught class with Maia. She gave 0 instructional cueing, no hands on adjustments and the class was slow and boring. She was quiet 70% of the time and to top it off– she started gossiping after class about someone that I actually knew! Horrible– sorry to say it because I’m an instructor myself– but there was no reasoning for the exercises– no anatomy references, we stretched too long too frequently and no back extensions or lateral spine movement– it was just bad. Hopefully she can improve and learn to not gossip about others in the community!

I’ve been doing Pilates with Matt and his staff for about 6 months. I needed to do something to stay in shape now that weightlifting is not much of an option for me due to too many surgeries. In the 6 months I’ve been going (two times per week) I’ve notice my back/​core seems to have loosened up which is great as I sit at a desk all day. I have not done any of the mat classes yet. Instead, I do the reformer classes. Matt recently ordered all new equipment and it is great! If you’re looking for something different, and have had problems working out due to injuries, I strongly recommend you check out this studio!

Never really knew what Pilates was all about, was told by a friend that it could potentially help out on some sports injuries and back pains I encounter caused by a severe car accident years ago. Was consulted by Matt, and he explained the science and method behind what pilates is, did some small exercises with me, and I am not exaggerating when I say this, I instantly felt relief and cracks in my body that I did not know about, and I felt amazing walking out of his studio. Beyond just the knowledge of Pilates, Matt is very knowledgeable in diet, nutrition, and vitamins and works with very reputable companies involved in the vitamin and nutrition world. Best thing about the experience there was NO PRESSURE! you almost felt like you belonged in the studio. All I know is I have tried therapy and massages for years, but the real question is where has Pilates been??? A Body In Balance… well there’s not much too say you must see it to believe it, or I should say FEEL it to believe it.

If you haven’t been here before go take a look! Brand new equipment and friendly staff to match. I’m very new to Pilates but Matt did an amazing job explaining the benefits to me. I’ve been referred to A Body in Balance by several folks and now I know why. I’m very excited to get going and do my body a favor!

I will always be grateful to a body in balance. I gained a lot of weight during the recession, and felt like I didn’t have any money to start working out again. I was able to buy a Groupon for body in balance, and it startled me back I’m working out. I’ve lost almost all the weight I gained. and I’m in better shape. So again I’m very grateful to body in balance for getting me started on my workout routine again.

great place, great teachers. really flexible schedule.

Highly recommend! I purchased the 20 class Groupon, considering it’s a «no brainer» for the price.
I find this studio different from others because there are different instructors throughout the day every day and the instructors lessons are different each time you see them. (never boring)
I have had 2 back surgeries and feel completely comfortable with the knowledge of the instructors. Now its almost a year later and I go religiously 3 – 4 times a week. I have recommended this studio everyone I know and every single one who has tried it LOVES IT!
I have found that the front desk is always willing to work with me on scheduling or late cancelations. Also Matt, the owner always welcomes feedback and will do what is necessary to make you comfortable.

I enjoy going here for my Pilates sessions because it is clean, well maintained and the staff is fabulously friendly and well informed. There are a variety of teachers, which is good, as you can find which teachers and which style works best for you and your body.
I’d highly recommend A Body In Balance, in fact I have, many times.

I love this studio! Two years ago a friend asked me to try a class and I never left. Matt, the owner is very personable. He’s always up front to say hello and answer any questions you may have. He’s also a great instructor. He has studied pilates extensively and it shows in his classes. He pays a lot of attention to detail and really gives you a proper workout. The other teachers are just as great. They are friendly, fun and always know you by name.
Each one hour session covers legs, abs, hips and arms. It only took 10 sessions before I began to see all my muscles. Today my body is completely toned and people often tell me how great I look! When I tell people it’s pilates they always look a little shocked. I don’t think people have any idea what a great workout it is. What I don’t tell them is that I only go eight times a month — that’s it! It is easy, fun and gives great results. Give it a try and I guarantee you’ll be hooked!

Staff is always friendly. Classes are small, which is nice. I have only taken the Pilate reformer classes. They really focus on form and true Pilates, vs classes I’ve been to at other locations that are more «cardio», fast Pilates on reformers.
The only draw back is that my everyone in class is not always on the same level. The teacher adjusts, but sometimes it can slow the class down.
All in all, I would totally recommend this place. I found it with a groupon, and it was well worth it!

A Body in Balance is like my «mother» Pilates studio: I visit other studios but I always come back here. I began my Pilates journey here and I have learned a lot. I feel much stronger now and more in control of my body, although I still have a ways to go. They have some great instructors — Maia, Darrelyn, Galina, Kiera — just to mention a few. I like that socks are required and the studio and equipment are kept very clean.

I just started attending the group classes after completing a few one-​on-​one session purchase through a Groupon. The owner and teachers are all very friendly and professional in their approach. The equipment and classrooms are kept very clean & organized. The other people in my classes all seem very pleasant.
After each class, I can tell how well each muscle group was worked and feel progress each and every time. I highly recommend this place for all fitness levels. The attentiveness and expertise of the staff is more than I expected by far. After I use my Groupon classes up, my intention is to continue on. The prices are relatively reasonable.

In Brief: Do not waste your time or your money. The only instructor I liked was Anna, but the facility is not great and the owner is a rude know-​it-​all who only cares about making money and not the health/​welfare of his clients.
The Long of It: I used to go to ABiB when it was in Summerlin, and I must say the original was much better than the new location/​owner. First, I am not particularly fond of the seedy shopping center the new location is in. If the rent is cheaper there, then why are the prices the same (and some more $$)? Plus the facilities are very stark, not warm and welcoming as before. Second, the new owner is rude, unhelpful, and condescending. I’ve been active in Pilates on and off for five years and he told me I had to take 15 essentials (basic) classes before I could pay for a private lesson to evaluate whether I could advance to the regular classes. Seriously? Third, because the Groupon package I purchased was only 20 classes and I missed four of them due to serious illness I would not have even had the opportunity to take intermediate classes. This leads me to my fourth point. I scheduled most of my classes weeks in advance (if you don’t you won’t get a spot). I ended up extremely ill for three weeks and inadvertently forgot to cancel the four classes I had scheduled (Pilates was not the first thing on my mind when I could not even leave the confides of my house). When I went to schedule more classes a month later, I realized I had fewer classes available than I thought. When I contacted ABiB to work something out with regard to the missed classes (I even offered doctor’s notes) they decided extortion was the proper route and told me they would only credit me for the four missed classes if I bought another package! Are you kidding me??? Why would I give them more money? Needless to say, I was shocked and disgusted with the poor customer service and lack of concern for their clients. For a place promoting healthy living, I cannot believe they didn’t even care about the fact that I was sick.

I was a bit intimidated about taking a class here because I have never done Pilates and really didn’t know what it was all about. I liked that in all of the classes the instructors really take their time to make sure you are in the right positions so you can benefit from the exercises. There were some cases where I wasn’t flexible enough to do some of the moves. Instead of sitting out during that particular exercise the instructors will find a different way you can work on the same muscle everyone else is working on. I also like how each of the instructors are so different in their teaching styles. They all have different types of exercises that they work into the class so there is a variety in your routine.
I like that it is exercise but at the same time it is also relaxing. Pilates has really helped me with my back pain, and tenseness in my back and shoulders. I have also shed a little weight too! Everyone at this facility is super friendly and easy going which is wonderful when you are starting something you have never done before!

I absolutely love this place! It has easily become a second home. Everyone is so amazing and generous!
