“I followed Balanced Pilates Studio on Facebook for the longest time, watching the reformer Pilates classes and seeing all of the amazing things people were doing. I wanted to join so many times, but honestly, I just didn’t think my body could do it. I was hurting, I didn’t feel strong, and I had gotten to a point where I was just so tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own body.
My sister and I finally joined! I decided that I needed to do something different and took the leap to join Julie’s reformer Pilates classes. I can honestly say I cannot put into words how incredible Julie is, not only as an instructor, but as a person.
From the very beginning, Julie makes you feel welcomed, safe, encouraged, and confident. She meets you exactly where you are and somehow has a way of making you believe you are capable of more than you ever thought possible. She is always encouraging, understanding, flexible, and willing to help. Her passion for what she does is so evident, and it truly leaves me in awe.
But what makes Balanced Pilates Studio so special is that it feels like so much more than a workout. It feels like a sisterhood. Everyone encourages each other, celebrates each other, and you genuinely feel like you belong.
Reformer Pilates has been life-changing for me. I never realized just how strong my body actually was or how much I was capable of doing, especially after dealing with pain and limitations for so long. I’m doing things I never thought I could do, and I’m learning to trust my body again.
So if you’re sitting there wondering if reformer Pilates is for you, wondering if you’re strong enough, flexible enough, or if your body can handle it, I say GIVE IT A TRY. I was that person too. I watched from the sidelines for so long because I was afraid my body couldn’t do it. Taking that first step has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.
Julie, I am beyond grateful for you, your encouragement, your patience, your passion, and the community you have created. You have helped me see my body in a completely different way, and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come.
You truly are an incredible person, an amazing instructor, and someone I am so lucky to call my friend. ❤️”
