I started doing pilates at MBP about two and a half years ago as a complete beginner. After a few private lessons with Kim (Instructor and owner) I had learned more about my own anatomy than I ever though possible (I'm hopeless when it comes to biology), not to mention the plethora of new muscles I'd discovered. With Kim's instruction I soon advanced into intermediate classes and began work on the Gratz pilates equipment she has in her studio. It certainly didn't take me long to see changes in my body shape, and skill level. The thing that makes MBP so special is the guidance of Kim Lenzi. Kim is absolutely dedicated to the healing and strengthening methods of pilates, and she cares about the progression and ability of each one of her clients. Her own technique is flawless, and her years of practice allow her to modify the technique of each movement to better suit the specific body types of individual clients. I look forward to many more years of progression and growth at MBP, because if there's one thing Kim has taught me it's that there is always more to learn. read more

Of all the studios I have worked with, this is the best pilates studio I have been to. Andrew, Thea and Kim are highly attentive and well trained to help ensure that you are getting the most from your pilates. I know that no matter which of the three I get as an instructor I will be supported, corrected, encouraged and pushed during my session. I am constantly impressed with the finest details they notice in my technique, and how they always strive to help me do more and do it better. As well my mom has been taking classes from both Thea and Andrew for a year now, and they take the kindest approach with her, they made sure they were aware of her individual needs right from the start and have helped guide her safely through pilates to help with her balance and strength while being supportive of her vertigo and stiff old bones. She has thrived with the nurturing and care they give her. I can't recommend this studio enough, whether you are healthy and strong, weak and stiff, experienced or new to pilates, they will take very good care of you. read more

I have been working with Kim at Mind Body and Pilates for 2 years now. I am in my 50's and suffer from scoliosis. I was suffering from constant pain in my lower back and hips daily. Since working with Kim, I have little to no pain. She has worked to strengthen my spin and improve my overall health. Kim is very focused on your health and well being. She makes a point to understand your underlying issues and adjusts each workout to focus on specific areas of need. I have taken Pilates from other instructors in the Reno area, and found them to be more of a social event (chatty, and over crowded classes), with no real focus on my particular needs. I take the duet classes, (only 2 working out at a time), where Kim can direct and instruct to make sure each exercise is done properly. She will push you, knowing what your limits are way before you do. What seems like an easy workout will challenge you each and every workout. read more

If you have aches and pains (and who doesn't!) Mind Body & Pilates is THE place to go in Reno to address these problems. As an added benefit, you will also stand taller, look thinner and more shapely, and feel better all over. Kim Lenzi, the owner of MB&P, is a remarkably knowledgeable and effective trainer. Kim will customize your sessions with her to address your specific problems and goals. She has worked wonders for me. I started Pilates with Kim in June 2013 mainly to gain some relief from chronic pain due to my arthritic neck. Now, about 10 months later, I am in significantly less pain, my posture is better, and I have never been quite this slim and trim. Plus you'll have a blast. Kim is really fun to work with - whether in a one-on-one private session with her or in a group mat class. You will be challenged, you will be strengthened, you will learn a lot, you will improve in ways you've never imagined. read more

Mind Body and Pilates is life changing....A few years ago I had 4 knee surgeries in 11 months and spent over one year in Physical therapy after having double knee replacement. After feeling like I was losing strength and flexibility I decided to try a Pilates class. After my first class I cried in the car on the way home feeling like I would not be able to do the exercises or have the strength needed. Now almost 2 years later I am still going and because of Kim I am balanced, stronger and feeling great! Kim is amazing, so knowledgeable and dedicated to each of us in class and our individual needs. Recently as I pulled up to class I had to park right in front of my physical therapy office. As I jumped out of my car and grabbed my yoga mat I had an epiphany of how far I had come and how blessed I was. Thanks to Kim and MB&P for giving me back the control that I thought I had lost! read more

I would never think of going anywhere else! MB&P has it down. I've been with MB&P for almost 2 years and I am in love. Best instructors I have ever worked with. Truly dedicated people who love what they're doing. Kim, the owner and senior pilates instructor, takes care of me, she's amazing at what she does. She works with my injuries and helps me strive towards my goals of being in a triathalon (hopefully a pilates instuctor someday!) She loves what she does and you can tell. What I love most about working with Kim has to be her knowledge of pilates, she is constantly bringing your awareness to form and the art of the movement- making sure you're feeling the work in the right places. I've gained so much strength and awareness from working with Kim. Kim is a strong, powerful, caring and kick-butt person. Come check out her new location, it's beautiful! read more

Kimberly Lenzi is AMAZING! If you want an extremely knowledgeable instructor, Mind Body and Pilates is the place to go. I first came to Kim in January to relieve my back pain. Kim developed a personal treatment plan based on my L5 S1 bulging disk injury in August 2013. In four short months I am no longer experiencing the pain that had required three epidurals between late August and December. The classes at MB&P are unlike any other classes. You get personalized training even in the class environment. All of the instructors at MB&P are excellent because that is the standard Kim holds everyone to that she brings into the studio. You will not be disappointed at the amazing results you'll get for whatever goals you set for yourself and Kim helps you achieve. read more

This is by far the best Yoga and Pilates studio in town. Kim creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels like they belong. The space she creates truly relaxes me and gives me time to center myself. She is exceptional at instructing and always gives you many modifications to a position. One of the first things she asked me when I joined her studio was about any injuries I have had or currently have, she then works around them. She also calls me by my name and remembers all of my weaknesses and strengths. The experience is very personal and I appreciate that. Her group classes are small, filled with high quality people. If you are looking for a great experience, and a good work out.... call Kim. read more

Kim (owner of Mind, Body, Pilates) is the best Pilates instructor in the area. I have been going to her classes for two years and she continues to challenge me so I can be in the best shape possible (for a 58 year old woman). I am pleased Kim thought of noon Pilates and yoga classes so many of us who work near McCarren and Talbot and Kietzke and Sierra Rose can easily get a nice workout in during the lunch hour. If you want to feel and look great in 2013 I highly recommend stopping by and checking out Mind, Body and Pilates. If you decide to take a few classes or private sessions, you will work hard but the results in a short period of time are worth it. read more

You haven't really done Pilates until you go to Kim. She knows the classic techniques inside and out, and makes you work towards perfection at all times. She will kick your butt, and you'll love her for it. Pricing is very reasonable, and there's a variety of mat classes, duets, and private sessions, so it's pretty easy to find something that will fit into your schedule.

I would recommend Mind, Body, and Pilates to anyone regardless of fitness level or experience, Kim will work to your level and get you into great shape. read more

I needed an activity physically that would strengthen my joints and connect with my muscles. I am amazed at how my body works today. Private instruction with Kim has changed my body and lifestyle. I am so connected from my mind to my body. I feel so grateful to use my posture correctly and the strength of my muscle is whole. I have done other things like weights which I love, and adding Pilates I get a complete usage of my muscles. I love it:) I use my muscles now and not my joints to work my body. Classic Pilates is hard, but very rewarding for your future in age and life:) read more

Before going to MB&P, I had only done Pilates on videos for 10 minutes at a time. I have to say, experiencing hands on teaching makes all the difference! Watching my body change each time is well worth the effort and time put in. Plus, there's no better feeling than accomplishing little goals you've set for yourself along the way and Kim will definitely get you there. I've taken several of the classes at Kim's studio and I've never been disappointed no matter who the teacher is. It's obvious that she only brings in the best. Don't ever change, Mind, Body and Pilates! read more

Esthetician Services: I bought a Groupon for a Brazilian wax (my first time) and when Kim called me we got to talking and I ended up scheduling a facial as well. She was so amazing! She was very nice and funny and made the notoriously painful experience actually easy to bear. The facial was the best I've ever had!! When she was done, I didn't even want to move. I felt so relaxed and refreshed and my skin felt so much cleaner. I don't live in Reno, but I will definitely make the 1.5 hr drive to go back and see her. read more
