My favorite Pilates studio in Tucson! I've taken numerous class at the Central and Oro Valley locations - love instructors Evie and Valentina. I always feel challenged whether it's a flow, sculpt, or tone class and love resetting with stretch. The themed months keep things interesting and the studio is always hosting fun events. read more

I went to Pilates at Inbalance with Ashley and took her Sunday class, when I tell you I was sweating and shaking, I mean it in the best way. Ashley is an amazing instructor. She walks around the room making sure everyone has the correct form and will gently correct you when needed, which I really appreciate because it helps prevent injuries and keeps your posture on point. She explains everything so clearly, and you can truly tell she's passionate about what she does. If you've been thinking about trying Pilates or are looking for a new studio, definitely check out Inbalance. They have a few locations around town, and I promise, you'll be hooked. read more

Tried In Balance Pilates for the first time. I was not impressed with Mallory at all. The class was, "gym vibes," and when I brought up the fact that it was very intense she laughed maniacally at the fact that I could not do all the moves. My experience is that Pilates is for all bodies, not just ones who can do what she expects them to do. When I asked her why it was hiit focused she said, "we level up here." Mallory is very off putting and I do not like that she made me feel like I wasn't welcome as I am. I will be joining club Pilates down the way and encourage anyone older or less flexible to try a different place. Real Pilates is not focused on hiit or going as "hard," as possible. You can come as you are other places and fall in love with the original reason for Pilates which was to rehabilitate soldiers with injuries. read more

Went to the In - Balance Pilates x Lululemon x La Encantada outdoor event & had a blast ! Cant wait for the next community event. read more

In balance is my go to place for reformer Pilates in Tucson. I've been coming here for over a DECADE!!! Shawna is the owner and is very sweet and a fantastic Pilates instructor. The studio recently got a makeover and it's very clean, calm and cool! Every class is different ma Dray have all the props- reformer, box, erg, TRX, weights and more! It's a great 50 minute workout. read more

Popped in while on a layover and it was wonderful! Dana was terrific and incredibly helpful! I'll be feeling this later!!

I've come to this studio now a few times and really love it. The location is great, the facilities are clean and welcoming and the instructors are friendly and helpful. I am currently trying out their 5 classes for $50 deal for new customers. I think their flow class is a great way to start working out if you haven't ever or in a long time. read more

This is an wonderful studio!!!! I love all the instructors they are knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. The instructors I go to regularly on Sunday, Monday Wednesday - Mallory she's is ammmmmmmazing !!! Tiana on Tuesday Shawna on Thursday and Letty on Friday . Every single instructor is so good, I couldn't choose a favorite it I tried !!! This studio is a must try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Love this studio! I've been coming to In Balance for a little under a year and they are the primary reason I get out and exercise. I have rheumatoid arthritis and several of my joints are affected, so I often have to trick myself in order to do any sort of physical activity and they make working out a pleasure. All of the instructors I've taken classes with: Ashley, Natalie, Alicia, Shawna and some of the apprentices are amazing and make the experience a real treat. They always have great modifications that can be incorporated and will advise you to listen to your body and not push yourself if you aren't up for it. I've been to class a time or two after a long night out drinking and have appreciated this messaging Highly recommend this studio, for a newbie or seasoned Pilates pro, you won't be disappointed! read more

Love this studio! The coaches here are fun and lively. I had not done Pilates until I moved to Tucson and was recovering from a rib injury. I thought this practice would be a good way to strengthen the supporting abdominal muscles and develop on balance and equilibrium. Very glad i found this studio, Nani is the best!! read more

Cannot get enough. Nani's classes are my fav! Register for classes on their app in advance because the schedule gets booked but it's worth the wait. Awesome studio. read more

Natalie makes Pilates accessible for all and fun. She explains and demonstrates and helps with gentle corrections. So glad I found this class! read more

I thought the classes were good but they are the rudest group of women I have ever encountered. It's impossible to get a hold of anyone. You must text . I have seen these girls do dangerous moves as well. I would not recommend. read more

I highly recommend giving it a try! I'm a mom of three babies so I don't get a whole lot of time to myself, but when I do in-balance is one of the places I go to treat myself. They are super patient and mindful when instructing. My first time going there, Shawna, the owner was my instructor and she went out of her way to make sure I had a great first experience. I'd say they're inclusive and very welcoming. read more

I can't stop raving about this place! Tiana, Ashley, and Shawna are absolutely fantastic - they're patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The range of classes they offer is impressive, catering to beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels. Their personalized approach sets them apart, providing modifications to accommodate all abilities. This is hands down the best group fitness class in town! You'll get an incredible workout, receive expert guidance to prevent injury, and walk out feeling fantastic. Personally, combining CrossFit and Pilates has been a game-changer for my health and body. I'm convinced that the unique movements in Pilates are the key. Huge thank you to In Balance Pilates! ....P.D. They just renovated their central location, and it is gorgeous. read more

I've never done pilates before and this place was the perfect place to start my lifelong obsession. It has a clean, light spa fragrance, uplifting, spacious, artful vibe. The community here is incredibly friendly & welcoming to new comers. After 2.5 weeks of going pretty hard challenging myself, I can see my waist is getting snatched & abs are working their way out of my long COVID fluff. This is SUCH a fantastic place to start for those of us who have been bed ridden, recovering from injury, or on the flip size, also great for weightlifters who are injury prone & need to work on their mobility to stay buttery. You'll find all shapes and sizes here & no judgement. Instructors I've super enjoyed: Shawna, owner: Her easy confidence in herself makes her fun to be around. As a young woman business owner, she's an inspirational force. Fantastically clear, encouraging instruction. Her love for pilates will radiate into you. Very fun & challenging classes. Marina: She's so at ease with herself, has the best pilates vocab, and had a serene vibe like she's been meditating for 60 years, but she's in her 20's. Such a fun character to be around. Provides such great challenges & ease-backs to accommodate all. My best sweats come here. Michelle: This woman is funny!!! She also provides such unique classes and delivers quite the burn so good feeling! Caitlin: My very first pilates teacher ;). After her class using the 5 package, I booked unlimited for a month. Such unique movements & a great burn! With two locations, Central & Oro, it's very easy to find the type of class at the time that works for me. I just hope I can find a studio this exceptional back in my home state. I'll see you all next year! read more

This studio is an absolute dream and has made Pilates my new passion. I wanted to acknowledge Mallory for not only being an excellent instructor but also emphasizing the importance of breath work. I've never realized how much it can enhance the workout and throughout the class she provides guided instruction to remember to breathe! I'm really impressed by every instructor and always leave with a great burn :) I also want to give a shout-out to Shawna for making me feel so welcome and providing muscle specific descriptions for each workout. She is so knowledgeable and great at what she does! Thank you in balance so happy to be part of the family! read more

Such a clean and inviting atmosphere! I visited this studio while I was in town on holiday visiting family in Oro Valley and couldn't have wished for a better studio... all of the three different instructors I had over my time here were very nice and helpful. They offer a great range and variety of classes/times. I wish I could take them back to Yuma with me but sadly I'll just have to come see them again when I'm back in town!! Edit to add: I didn't realize there were two locations. This review was meant for the Oro Valley location but with that being said I believe Shawna owns them both, and I did take a stretch class instructed by her at O.V., she was very nice and welcoming on my first day, and it was one of my favorite classes read more

Natalie is one of the best instructors. Her experience shows in clear instructions, smooth transitions between exercises, and careful planning that always includes different exercises from the previous class. She is a consummate professional. Highly recommended! read more

In-Balance is a perfect option for someone who is unfamiliar with reformer Pilates as they allow you to do a free 30-minute session so that you can see what it is like before making a commitment to something you've never tried. I worked with Bruce, who was friendly and very knowledgeable and has been a trainer for years. The studio was very chic and clean. The reformers are wiped down after each session and the entire studio and the reformers are cleaned regularly. There were pictures of nature in the ceiling for you to look at while on the reformers, which was a nice touch. I had heard of Pilates with a transformer from a personal trainer who thought that it would be beneficial to me, as I have fibromyalgia and am always in pain, especially if I don't exercise. However, I need to be careful with exercising because if I hurt myself too bad, it may never heal. Stretching and doing something more lightweight like Pilates, is going to be a lot safer for me and will help me feel a lot healthier in the long run. After just one session with Bruce, I noticed that I was subconsciously correcting my posture and my stance. Thankfully, the packages that In-balance offers makes working with reformers much more feasible than most places, especially as a student, like I am! I plan on making Pilates a habit! read more

I go to the Tucson area for work and was looking for a Pilates studio to take classes in and found In Balance through their positive reviews online. All of the classes I've attended have been with Maria and she has been an excellent instructor (and I'm positive the instructors would also provide the same experience). The classes are well structure to flow from area to area in a manner that challenges you. Since the classes are at max ~8 people there is a lot of individual instruction ensuring your posture is correct, you're getting help with machines as needed, and you're receiving modifications as needed. As someone who comes on a non-regular basis I've found that the classmates and also the instructors have been incredibly friendly in keeping the class upbeat and welcoming. All in all, In Balance is one of the best Pilates studios I've attended and also incredibly well priced. read more

The absolute best studio I've ever been to. It is warm and inviting and there's never any pressure to do a move that you aren't comfortable with. Modifications are always available and the instructors do not hesitate to help you make them. The instructors and the owner are amazing! I will probably be a lifer.... read more

This is a fantastic studio! Danika gave an exhilarating class and really got my Monday off to a great start! The studio is extremely clean and very welcoming! read more

Love this studio and it's instructors. Reformer Pilates changed my life. I have practiced 4 times a week for 2 years. The practice relieved me of 75 pounds, cured the pain in my hips and knees, and corrected my posture to name a few of the benefits I received. read more

Athletic Sculpt with MJ R was amazing!! First time on the reformer and had so much personalized attention and a great workout can't wait to go back! read more

I have been going to In Balance Pilates on and off for a couple of years now. I have taken many reformer classes all over the country and can say with conviction that this place is special. The owner, Shawna, is so passionate and creative that every time I go to one of her classes I leave thinking she can't top it and every time she knocks it out of the park. She knows her stuff. On top of that, the studio is beautiful. She is hired the most talented instructors who each bring their own special some thing. We are so lucky to have the studio here in town. Do yourself a favor and take a class. It's really special there. read more

I just tried the free demo because I was thinking about joining this place and I LOVED IT!! the energy was great and in only the 30 minutes of the demo I was feeling the burn. The pilates studio is so nice and it makes the exercises feel more like fun than work. I really wanted to start focusing on my health and fitness and I am so excited to start my journey here! read more

I absolutely love in-balance pilates! I've only done personal classes before and was a bit intimidated by group classes, but I love it! The instructors are all very kind and great teachers. They make sure to let you know you should follow what your body can take, and I really appreciate that. There are so many different types of classes. My personal favorite is stretch because I really feel like I'm stretching out all my muscles! If you're looking to start pilates, come here!! read more

Good group of instructors, and great work out in Oro Valley.

I've been going to In Balance about three times a week for almost two years now, and I was hooked after the first class. It's never easy, but it's never too hard, either. And it's always fun using the reformer with its ropes and pullies. Pilates fits my personality way better than yoga does, although both focus on alignment, strength, balance, proper breathing, and flexibility. I think Pilates is one of the best things you can do to keep your body aligned and strong as you age. You start to feel and see a big difference in your strength and posture after only a few classes. Sometimes the music is calm & classical like for stretch classes, and other times it's a mix of familiar music from various decades - it always seems to fit the mood of the class. People in classes seem to range in age from their early twenties to their seventies, mostly female for whatever reason, and everyone is super friendly. read more

Loving In-Balance Pilates studio! Diana is a great instructor; I took her class today. Her workouts are quite a challenge, and I always feel great after it's over! She's one of the many wonderful instructors at In-Balance. read more

It's tucked away in a small plaza but is big on fun and fitness. Exercises are good and Bruce is a great and patient instructor. I truly enjoy and look forward to class here. read more

Started coming to IBP about a month ago and it has been so rewarding. The staff is incredible as well as the environment. If your looking for an amazing studio to start or con your pilates journey I would definitely recommend IBP. read more

Decades ago, when Pilates first came on the scene as the next "it" thing, I had tried a few classes on the Reformer and found the pace to be too slow and the classes unchallenging - an excuse for injured athletes or dancers, middle-aged people with bad backs and weak limbs to get some semblance of "exercise". Disillusioned, I re-joined my barbell-squatting, wife-beater wearing peers for some lift-till-you-get-hemorrhoids workouts. Cut to today, when I have also joined the thrown-back, and shoulder-sore population. It was time to hang up the wife beaters and kettlebells and trade them for the straps and stirrups of a Reformer. I sadly signed up for a 4-class Groupon at In-Balance. Mary, the owner, quickly and warmly responded to my initial email to set up a class with my Groupon and added me into the system, suggesting that I start with the Basic Core Reformer classes. Through the online booking system - which is the only way you can book and pay for classes - I could easily browse and book classes online - or cancel them. Besides the Basic Reformer group classes, there are also Intermediate and Advanced Reformer group classes, Reformer Cardio/Jump Core and Reformer Barre Core. Semi-private and private classes are also offered. The classroom is large enough so it just holds about 8 reformers. Besides the Reformers, there is also a Bosu ball, mat, barre, straps hanging from the wall, the chair, among others. Even the beginners classes incorporate all of the equipment at one point or another. I've had classes that went from the Reformer to the Chair to the Barre and then Bosu. Instructors always provide us with the different spring combination for each level of difficulty and clearly explain the exercise. Despite the fact that classes are usually full, the instructor will take time to make corrections for individuals who may need them. Variations are given to make the exercises more/less challenging depending upon difficulty level. And because many who take the classes have some back/shoulder issue - the instructors frequently remind us about proper posture and breathing. After a month of the Basic Core classes I've finally become emboldened enough to try the Jump/Cardio class, which is a great way to get the heart rate going without pressure on the back, as all jumping is done laying down flat or on your side on the reformer. But initially, even with several days of hiking and gym a week, the Basic Core made me hurt in areas I didn't (I didn't want to) know about. I've had several instructors - Shawna, Jenny and Mary, who is almost revered as a Pilates rock star by some of the other students, and each one is very knowledgeable about proper technique, and has her own routine and set classes that she teaches. Classes can also be a great deal, if you buy then when there are specials - as low as $9.00 - purchased in blocks of 10 or 15 classes. My only suggestion would be a separate introductory course to those who have not encountered Pilates, or who have not exercised previously. Even with some reformer classes under my belt, I'd forgotten how the system of pulleys and straps worked together and barely managed to escape strangling myself. I can imagine how a newbie would even find it even more daunting. Otherwise, a great addition to my happy non-high impact workout schedule. read more

So thankful I found this studio!!!! It is clean and beautiful and the owner Shawna is the best instructor, I never get bored in her classes because she is always switching it up! read more
