I can’t say enough good things about The Balance Room! From day one, I felt so welcomed by the amazing community Mari has built. Mat & reformer classes are challenging for all experience levels (perfect for beginners and the advanced) and the instructors are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and supportive. I’ve noticed such a huge difference in my physical and mental strength and I always leave class feeling stronger, more balanced, and centered.

I have been taking private lessons with Karlee since the fall and also started taking reformer classes with her this winter. Going to the balance room has been a highlight of my week every week. The energy is always so positive. I always feel immensely better both physically and mentally after doing both my privates and my reformer classes. I’m so excited to continue my Pilates journey here as it’s been the missing link that I needed for my life here in Philly. Highly recommend!

The moment I walk through the door, I feel like I’m coming home. The instructors know your name, remember where you’re at in your body, and genuinely celebrate your progress — not in a performative way, just in the quiet, attentive way of people who actually care. The balance room has giving me the sense of community in my neighborhood I’ve been yearning for.

Since discovering the Balance Room (quite by luck) I cannot imagine not having this space/place to regroup with my mind and body and feel truly "reformed" after a session on the reformer. The instructors are wonderful and the space is small enough to be intimate and so very calming. With one exception, Ava's jump board classes are like being a kid again and going out for recess...pure joy! Speaking as a true Pilates junkie, I hold this space near and dear to me...thank you thank you.

The Balance Room is great! At 70 years old (male) I decided to try something new, and I'm glad I did. I've been taking private lessons and plan to eventually start with classes. Katrina is my instructor, and she is excellent at explaining things clearly and catering to my specific level of ability. I've gotten a glimpse of other instructors at The Balance Room, and they seem to be skillful as well. I look forward to my time there each week.
