Preserving the Legacy of Joseph Pilates
Pilates is a method of movement developed by Joseph H. Pilates in the 1920s as a way to strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, and restore natural alignment. Rooted in principles of precision, control, breath, and flow, the method continues to stand the test of time.
Originally named Contrology, Joseph Pilates’ approach emphasized the integration of body and mind through intentional, full-body movement. In his 1945 book, Return to Life Through Contrology, he outlined a system of Mat exercises and guiding principles that remain the foundation of classical Pilates today.
At Balanced BodyWorks, this legacy lives on. Our approach is founded in the classical Pilates method and the original teachings of Joseph Pilates, while also embracing contemporary movement principles and post-rehab modifications. With a strong classical foundation, we adapt the method to meet the needs of modern bodies—whether you’re building strength, recovering from injury, or looking to deepen your practice.

Group Pilates Studio
Our boutique group studio is where we hold our level-specific Pilates classes. This space is fully equipped with eight (8) of each of the following apparatus: Reformer/Tower Combo Units, Chairs, BOSUs, and Orbits, along with numerous small props to help modify or increase the intensity of your workout. Our group classes are designed to vary each week, allowing you to work on a different apparatus and focus on different areas of your body. This style of teaching provides for an exciting and diverse Pilates experience.
Fully Equipped Private and Duet Pilates Studio
Within our main studio or primary studio, we teach private and duet sessions. This studio is set up to reflect a more traditional environment, highlighting our wood apparatus, which includes 2 Reformers, 2 Trapeze Tables, 2 Chairs, 2 Barrels, and a CoreAlign. Enjoy privacy and individualized attention in an atmosphere that is calm and welcoming.
Massage Therapy Room
ne of the things that sets us apart from other Pilates studios is our massage therapy program. In our studio, we view massage as more than just relaxation, we view it as the perfect complement to your Pilates work. Therapeutic massage before your Pilates session can warm and loosen muscles. Massage after your Pilates session can alleviate tired, sore muscles and relax the central nervous system. The hands-on techniques used in the different massage modalities we offer target tendons, ligaments, joints, and dysfunctions that exercises on the apparatus can’t address. Regular massage can also help to maintain the spinal alignment we work so hard to achieve in Pilates. We believe massage and Pilates uniquely complement each other, and we are proud to provide you with this service.
