Every journey starts with a private class and assessment to safely go over the basics, learn the equipment, and get your baseline.  


 We’ll discuss your history, any injuries, and your specific "Roadmap" goals to ensure you start on the right foot.

Select the Mat, Core, Premium, or Signature membership that aligns with your goals. 


Once your path is set, you’re ready to go. Attend your first session, meet your community, and start seeing the results of a dedicated Pilates practice.



Step One: THE INTRO

To ensure you get the most out of every session, we begin every journey with a private 1-on-1 INTRO. It’s the best way to ensure your practice is safe, personalized, and effective from day one


This discounted ($50) private Pilates session with one of our expert instructors allows us to guide you through some Pilates basics while we assess your starting level.   A pro-level tune up!


In your 50-minute 1-on-1 Private class, we will:


  • Discuss Your History: We’ll talk about your goals, past injuries, and what you want to achieve.


  • Master the Equipment: Get a hands-on introduction to our professional Merrithew Reformers at your own pace.


  • Find Your Settings: We’ll determine your personal machine adjustments so you’re ready to "plug and play" in future classes.


  • Build Your Roadmap: You'll leave with a personalized recommendation for the class styles and levels best for you.  Our staff will then help you decide on the perfect membership that fits your life, goals, and budget.


Not a beginner? You’ll still benefit from refining your form, learning our equipment, and getting a feel for our teaching style before jumping into regular classes. Plus, what a great way to take advantage of a Private class at a such a low cost!


If you haven’t already requested to book your INTRO class, you can do so by completing the form below. We’ll get back to you within 24-48 hours to schedule your private Pilates session.


We’ll help you choose the right class styles and membership after you’ve completed the INTRO class.

Every IBP membership is designed to create a clear path toward your strongest self, ensuring the consistency, progression, and lasting results you’re looking for.

Questions? We’re here to help.

No matter your level or experience, all new Inner Balance clients must begin with an INTRO class. This discounted 1:1 class ($50) allows us to guide you through a few Pilates basics while we assess your starting level. During this session, we’ll also determine your personal Reformer settings and make any necessary modifications for your comfort and safety.


BOOK NOW

The INTRO being a 1-1 session allows our expert and experienced instructors to guide you through a few Pilates basics while we assess your starting level. It allows you to learn techniques and get familiar with the equipment at your own pace.

Short answer? Yes, you have to take INTRO first. But the best part? Your INTRO class will be based on your current level, so you’ll get the opportunity to take a private lesson and work on your form at a discounted rate.


All studios are different--with differnt equipment and Pilates methids.

Great question! We recommend comfortable athletic wear—nothing too baggy or bulky, mainly so your clothing won’t get caught on a Reformer machine or get in your way during Mat work. Think Yoga and Pilates leggings or gym shorts with compression shorts underneath. If you run hot or cold, be sure to dress in layers so you can either shed outer clothing or put on more to be comfy.

The INTRO is a heavily discounted private session.  The total cost is $50, making an amazing opportunity to experience 1-1 training.

Absolutely! We’re certified in pre- and postnatal Pilates, and we’d love to help you move through your pregnancy as long as you have clearance to do so from your doctor. 

Once your INTRO class is scheduled (which you can request to book here), we’ll send you an email with your onboarding materials to complete beforehand, including a general health questionnaire, a waiver, and your payment for the session. After completing the INTRO session, you’ll be able to select your membership and set up your auto-pay account.

Pilates Is For EVERYONE at IBP

Beginner Pilates Classes

Our beginner Pilates classes are designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of Pilates and help you build a strong foundation. You'll learn proper breathing techniques, alignment, and basic Pilates exercises (on both the Mat and the Reformer) that will help you improve your posture, increase your flexibility, and strengthen your core.

Group Pilates Classes

Our Mat and Reformer Group classes are kept small, private and inviting.  With no more than 6 students, there is no need to feel intimated.  Work alongside fellow dedicated clients for a period of weeks--progressing as a group.

Semi-Private Pilates Classes

Experience the personalized attention of a private lesson with the energy of a small group. Our Semi-Private classes are tailored for those ready to move beyond the basics and dive into more technical Reformer and apparatus work. With a focus on precision and intermediate progressions, these sessions help you refine your form, increase your core strength and flexibility, and achieve your specific fitness goals alongside like-minded partners. These sessions allow for more customized modifications than a standard group class.

Private Pilates Sessions

Get personalized attention and guidance with our private Pilates sessions. Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to improve your athletic performance, or just want one-on-one instruction, our certified instructors will work with you to create a customized workout plan that meets your specific needs.  Enjoy using the entire suite of Pilates apparatus.

Pilates for Rehabilitation

Pilates can be a great way to aid in the rehabilitation process after an injury or surgery. Our certified instructors have experience working with clients who are recovering from a variety of injuries and can help you develop a safe and effective workout plan that will help you regain strength, mobility, and range of motion.

Pilates for Athletes

Pilates can be a great complement to any athletic training program. Our certified instructors have experience working with athletes of all levels and can help you improve your performance, increase your flexibility, and reduce your risk of injury.

Pilates for Seniors

Pilates is a low-impact exercise that can be a great way for seniors to stay active and improve their overall health and well-being. Our certified instructors have experience working with seniors and can help you modify exercises to meet your specific needs.
