Services Offered:

Balanced Body™ Reformer

The Reformer is probably the most famous and versatile piece of Pilates apparatus. It consists of a mat on a bed frame called a carriage, which are attached to springs. Your job, on the Reformer, is to resist those springs. Reformer’s headrest, shoulder blocks, foot bar, and straps give tactile feedback and assist you to perform the exercises more correctly and efficiently.

Balanced Body™ Trap Table (Cadillac)

A jungle gym of sorts consisting of an elevated mat on top of a long table. It has arm springs, leg springs, a rollback bar to challenge length and spinal articulation, and a push-thru bar to challenge shoulder stability and assist stretching. Not only will you tone and strengthen your abs, inner thighs, triceps, glutes and hamstrings, but also challenge your joint stability and flexibility. The Trap Table’s versatility allows for either a gentle or a killer workout, depending on your mood or needs.

Balanced Body™ Tower Reformer

Attached to the Reformer, the Tower allows you more variety of moves with the same efficiency and alignment. In addition to a great option for flexibility training.

Balanced Body™ Ladder Barrel 

Developed for core strength and flexibility exercises, the Ladder Barrel combines ladder rungs with a barrel surface to lengthen and tone the body helps you isolate deep postural muscles while challenging the body in all planes of movement.  The sliding base adjusts to accommodate different torso sizes and leg lengths.
