ALDRIDGE MURRELL

I have been unable to stand very long or walk some distance without pain for some time; I was drawn to BODY-N-BALANCE by a news article that mentioned its name. I have now been going regularly for 3 years. The staff has helped me strengthen my core muscles, which, I believe has allowed me to travel extensively and handle most of the negatives associated with travel. These will include the long plane ridges, the walking and standing etc. They have made me aware of my body and how to take care of it physically so that I can endure these things to experience the joy of my travels.

In my job as a computer professional, I sit straighter and have even changed my chair to be more ergonomic. I walk differently; I also ride my bike longer which sometimes gets to my son. I also love to dance, salsa. The exercises have kept me flexible and stronger to move easily though some turns. This keeps me coming back, sometimes the work is hard and pushes my limits, which also extends them and I feel GREAT. I really appreciate what has happened to me though PILATES and the staff at BODY-N-BALANCE. It has had a very, I think, a positive profound impact on my quality of life.

"You have started me on a journey of health and flexibility that will serve me well for the rest of my life."

DON WEBER

Next month, June 2008, marks my fifth anniversary as a devoted client of BODY-N-BALANCE. I only came the first time, as a result of receiving a gift certificate from a good friend. The word PILATES was not even in my vocabulary, nor did I know how to spell it. After learning the basics like how to breathe properly, slow down repetitions and building up strength, I was next being stretched and tugged in every direction on a series of machines that looked like they were out of a medieval castle. Somehow, I began to look forward to my hour long sessions. Already I could feel and see the effects on my lifestyle and body.

The first phase of my plan was to move from obese to fat (waistline under 40 inches) and exercise coupled with healthier eating habits led me to lose 25 pounds over a couple of years. Phase two, began last December, when I again got serious and set a goal of a 36 inch waistline. I’m almost there after losing an additional 20 pounds. For the first time in ages, I can see my knees and toes and tie my shoes a lot easier. Not bad at age 72. The benefits are many, as I feel better, have a higher energy level all day long and sleep better at nights.

The management and instructors of BODY-N-BALANCE have earned a special place in my heart and mind for motivating me to return regularly (at least weekly) to do PILATES, GYROTONIC and PHYSICAL THERAPY. One noticeable observation after five years is the marked increase in the number of male clients grinding away. My conclusion: try it, you’ll like it.

As an original client of BODY-N-BALANCE, I continue to be amazed and pleased with the complete experience. Through the years I have been able to utilize all of the services BODY-N-BALANCE has to offer. All the classes I have participated in, including GYROTONICS, PILATES, mat and small prop classes, massage and physical therapy sessions have proven to be the best the area has to offer.

Over the years I have had personal trainers and tired all kinds of exercise programs. I have never experienced the results that I achieve at BODY-N-BALANCE. I have worked with many of the instructors and therapists and find them to be highly qualified, professional and fun. I would recommend BODY-N-BALANCE to everyone who is looking for an innovative way to fundamentally change the way they look, feel and carry themselves.

BODY-N-BALANCE has changed my life in so many ways. My body is now leaner and stronger from Pilates. Sandi has helped me so much with my neck and TMJ pain. She is a miracle worker. All of the instructors and Physical Therapist are well trained and very helpful.

JENNIFER HOLLEY

I have been a quadriplegic, from a car accident, for the last 38 years. After reaching and maintaining a plateau for almost 25 years, I began to show decline in strength, stamina, and mobility. I joined a gym and tried to exercise on my own for about a year but saw little progress. One evening, watching the local news, I saw a story on BODY-N-BALANCE and the new Gyrotonic program. I decided to make an appointment to see what this was all about. It certainly looked like something that would help me with my mobility issue. For my first hour-long evaluation to present, I continued to be impressed with the level of attention and expertise that the staff at BODY-N-BALANCE gives to each patient. For each session, I have undivided and uninterrupted therapy from acknowledgeable and enthusiastic physical therapist. Both Sandi and Maria-Elena are continuously updating their craft to assure that their patients are getting the newest techniques in physical therapy.

Over the past nine months I have made significant improvements in my mobility and stamina. I am most impressed with the strength that I have gained in my back and therefore improved posture.

I can honestly recommend BODY-N-BALANCE for anyone who needs and desires a therapy program that will be designed especially for him or her. From the time you enter the door you will have a warm and inviting experience.
