I came to Pilates to recover from a debilitating hamstring injury. I stayed for the increased strength, flexibility, coordination and grace. Now, both the Pilates and GYROTONIC® methods are integral components of my weekly fitness program.

After almost 3 years of no or limited mobility due to back issues and a broken hip, my wife Carol, a BMB client, persuaded me to try Pilates to regain strength. The instructors at BMB are super patient, helpful and observant. Over the past year or so Mike has helped me recover my core strength and mobility. I recently added a 2nd weekly session to Cathy which is moving me forward more quickly. At 75 years my body is slow to heal, but the Pilates method is wonderful. I have a long way to go, but every session at BodyMind Balance gives me more hope, more determination and more confidence that I will not spend my life in a chair! The studio is a wonderful, happy and peaceful setting which is very inspiring!

Over 6+ years of Gyro, I have benefited from better posture, almost none of the lower back issues that used to plague me and more flexibility.  Regular sessions have kept me playing racquet sports more regularly with less negative effects. And, I just feel great after a session.

GYROTONIC^® exercise gets to my areas of tension that I have been dealing with for years. I am a pretty serious cyclist and it has helped a great deal. It's a different type of workout from the gym, so you have to be open to a new experience. It gets my spine from top to bottom. It just has a great payoff for me and it has been extremely beneficial.

My friend, Jeanne Miller, had been talking to me about Pilates for many years. After some difficult years of dealing with dying parents and a move out of state, I was depleted and did not feel strong. Although I was a bit uncertain how I would manage Pilates, I decided to give it a try.

My amazing teacher, Carol, gave me the confidence and spirit to return each week. I love coming now.

The studio is very welcoming. The beauty and safety of the space is calming and includes all the energy of the people there. There is always the inspiration to do more and the dedication of the teachers is obvious. They all care so much! There is a feeling of warmth and connection and trust I feel each time I enter the space. Thank you Julie, BodyMind Balance is exactly right!

'I was so happy to discover BodyMind Balance Studio while here in Cincinnati working at the Playhouse. When I am performing away from New York, it can be challenging to find Pilates taught in the classical approach--Pilates that values the precision of the exercises without sacrificing the dynamic flow that makes it such a great workout. As a Pilates instructor myself, I can be very picky! The quality of instruction and the loft-like studio space at BMB made me feel as though I'd never left home.'

'I had been in a lot of pain from scoliosis, compression fractures, and osteoarthritis. I asked my doctor if I could try one-on-one Pilates training to strengthen my core and muscles that support the spine. He was familiar with Pilates and even made specific recommendations to my trainers at BodyMind Balance.'

GYROTONIC® exercises have given me a freedom of movement I thought I wouldn’t have. The movement has become an hour of heaven for me. I leave with both an incredible workout and a relaxed body. Along with Pilates and yoga, it will be the workout of the 21st Century.'

BodyMind Balance provides a great full body workout reforming both body and mind. It is the best hour of my week!

Early in 2011 I started Pilates at BodyMind Balance to help with chronic back pain. At the same time I was having periodic dizziness. With personal care and attention my instructor has helped me feel stronger physically and mentally. I am eager for my Pilates sessions and look forward to the challenge and continuing to build my physical strength and mental confidence. I am stronger in my 60's than I was when I was younger. Sincere Thanks!

Julie has presented to the Chamber’s WE Lead program for the past two years. The audience is 54 senior level professional women from various companies and organizations. Julie is able to easily connect with this diverse group to provide them with concrete, practical tools for reducing stress and living better. Through her passion and clear explanations, Julie engages even the most skeptical participants. She is one of our most highly-rated speakers and I look forward to having her back next year.

Valuable session and truly hit home. Great takeaways and things we can put in place immediately.

Amazing! To leave with real info about how the muscular alignment impacts stress and how to center with just a few exercises.
