I'm a huge fan of the CONTROL class it's an insane workout and I left feeling like I got my butt kicked in the best possible way.

I have been an SOSer for 5 years now. Which makes it shocking that I'm just now getting around to…read morewriting review, especially since I'm such a mega-fan! I first heard about SOS from a few folks when I worked at L Brands. They had a few loyal customers with whom I worked. To be honest, I was a little intimidated when I'd see these folks post about their workouts on social media. I had thought about trying it circa 2017, but was too intimidated (my loss!). But in 2019, I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training. I was able to barely finish my training for the NYC Marathon, which I did successfully complete in November 2019. But at that point, it was evident that I couldn't just keep running marathons without incorporating strength training into my routine. So in Christmas Week 2019, I started with the 7 class starter pack just to try it out. I even joined Team Tread (their half & full marathon training program)in their Columbus location in January to start training for the Nashville Half in April 2020. Unfortunately for me, my SOS morning routines were abruptly halted in March 2020. But luckily, my team tread registration got me into the "digital studio" which I had no idea what it was at the time. I very quickly uncovered that it's all the same studio instructors and they have recorded classes with new uploads almost daily as well as a huge library of online classes (which as you can imagine has only grown in the past 5 years). I did what everyone else was doing and immediately ordered as many dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment to build up a "home SOS studio" and my equipment has been growing ever since. I moved to Arizona in summer 2021, and have continued to be a dedicated Digital Studio user and advocate. Whenever I come home to Ohio (whether Cbus or Cincy), I get giddy at the thought of going to classes in person and it's a treat to choose which classes I'll take and with which instructors. I can honestly say SOS Digital Studio has helped me get in the best shape of my life. I feel like I personally know all of the trainers (I don't have social media anymore, but when I did, I followed all of them, so again, felt like I kew them personally). When I was in Hawaii for my wedding, SO many people were asking me about my arms and complimenting me. I kept trying to tell them about the DS and how special SOS is. I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan. It's become such a part of my routine that I'm on Christmas Break now with my husband in Kansas (where he's from) and I've brought my ankle weights, light weights and loop bands just so I can get some classes in. Thank you, Gretchen and team for helping me be the best version of myself every day! Can't imagine what I'd do without the DS and my SOS training crew! (Only word of advice to newbies- the System DOES work! Don't skip out on any classes. As you can imagine, being a marathon runner, I favored all of the cardio classes. But it wasn't until I really started incorporating High & Tight as I prepared for my wedding that I noticed the chiseled arms that I'd always wanted. It's a well-rounded program that works wonders as long as you incorporate ALL of the classes). Particularly about the Cincy location, I love the rooms they have (1 dedicated to The Course, 1 for Ebb and High & Tight and another for In The Mix and Control). You can tell it was built after the Columbus locations! I also have only been here about 7 times total (since I'm more from the Columbus area). But both instructors Tyler and Emma have remembered me. Emma is for sure my favorite instructor. I was super spoiled this past Thanksgiving and had her for three straight days of classes! Oh how I wished I lived closer!

The teachers that have led me (Mike, Julie, Kathy) are not only very knowledgeable and passionate about Pilates, but they are very caring and considerate in providing a very personalized experience every time. I primarily train with Mike, whose patience, persistence and attention to detail brought me back to life after suffering an injury at the hands of a yoga instructor at a different studio in Cincinnati two years ago. I trust the instruction, advice and physical adjustments of each of these teachers at BodyMind Balance. I call them teachers and not instructors because I believe there is a grave difference: An instructor can go through the motions and dictate information to a class; but a teacher reaches his/her students through understanding and respect.

I was fortunate enough to try the classes with their 8 classes for $99 deal. The bathrooms were clean, the facility was clean, and the staff was kind. Some people got codes to the door so they could enter for their classes, but I didn't get that luxury. The pricing for membership is decent (might be steep for others depending on your budget), but I wish they offered more medium/low income friendly options. Or at least extended the amount of classes you get access to. The scheduling is online which is great, but the availability was scarce for what I wanted to try. I'm recovering from an injury so the instructors were mindful and offered variations I could try instead that would've cause me pain. Still, I think gentle Pilates Reformer would've worked better for me and I didn't get to try that because it was only offered during the day and never after 5pm.

I first discovered Annah after I ran my first half marathon that didn't go the way I planned. I learned the hard way that strength training was a big component missing in my training. Annah is knowledgeable and a very qualified trainer. She designs workouts specifically for each client and will never have you do the same workout twice. Her personal gym is perfect for anyone, like me, who can get a little intimidated by big gym equipment. She is kind, encouraging, funny and easy to talk to. If there is anything that doesn't feel right or you have questions about she is quick to walk you through it or show you a modification. I have since ran my second half marathon and knocked 12 minutes off my original time. That's huge! You can't go wrong with Annah she is simply wonderful!

I had no idea that one class would turn into something that would become such an important part of my life. From the moment I walked in, the sense of community was undeniable. Two years later, that feeling of belonging still hasn't faded -- if anything, it's grown. What Kyland has built here is truly special. This isn't a place where everyone looks the same, dresses the same, or fits into some narrow definition of "fitness." It's a welcoming, supportive community where everyone is valued and encouraged exactly where they are in their journey. The studio offers multiple modalities and the pricing is incredibly competitive for the level of coaching and programming you receive. The training I've experienced here has completely elevated my fitness. It's helped me go from just working out to accomplishing things I never thought I would -- like competing in the Skyline Three Way and running a marathon 45 minutes faster than I did 12 years ago. Totality gives me exactly what I need when I need it -- whether that's a push, a reset, or a reminder of what I'm capable of. Safe to say, I'm a lifer.

I also really like the variety of class times and formats--between climb, sculpt, and hot yoga, it's been a great balance for my body. The studio has a welcoming vibe, which makes it easy to keep coming back. Looking forward to continuing and getting stronger!

Also, beginner pole dancers are permitted to be an instructor at this studio. Because Cincinnati is a small city without many options, Dimension Fitness is still in business. In other cities, people would choose a professional studio with more experienced instructors and non predatory billing practices. If you live in Cincinnati, find online instructors. Trust me.
