Simply the BEST Pilates studio in Cincinnati because of its professionalism, available equipment and services, and the incredibly knowledgeable instructors. This was the FIRST certified Pilates studio in all of Ohio. The main point there is that they actually are nationally certified in an accredited method of Pilates, unlike most of the other studios in Cincinnati, who teach whatever jumble of stuff they want to. And you can feel the difference! This is the real deal, a serious workout the way Joseph created. I am impressed by the knowledge the instructors have at BodyMind Balance, their attention to my individual health issues, and the fact that safety is priority #1.
When calling a studio ask what accreditation they have. Most do not have ANY certified training, only a mix of stuff they think they know. BodyMind Balance has nationally certified instructors who undergo over 600 hours of rigorous training in the Power Pilates system, commonly know as "Harvard of Pilates education."
If you see a studio that only has mats and reformers, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN, it is not a real Pilates studio that is true to the original method and safety that BodyMind Balance follows. They have ALL the pieces of Pilates equipment, including Trapeze Tables (Cadillacs), Reformers, Wunda Chairs, Ladder Barrels, Step Barrels, Springboard Towers and Ped-o-Puls. Other studios don't have these pieces and are not trained or certified on them.
Besides the great Pilates, BodyMind Balance also offers Gyrotonic. This is a new method of exercise that has helped make my back problems go away completely. It strengthens and stretches all of my back, arms, legs, hips, etc. in a unique way. They have three certified Gyrotonic instructors to choose from.
I have recommended BodyMind Balance to all my friends and family, and told them to not waste their time elsewhere, this is the only place to be for a great workout!
