I have received physical therapy, private lessons and group classes at Balanced Pilates and Wellness Boutique since February 2025.

The staff is outstanding. They are professional, knowledgeable, and well trained. Each one is kind and encouraging, and provide high quality services.

I cannot say enough positive comments about the classes. They are that good. I have seen so many positive changes in my strength, flexibility, coordination and balance.

My quality of life has greatly improved since I started taking classes at Balanced Pilates. I definitely believe "Exercise is Medicine," and for me, Balanced Pilates has helped me work toward that goal.

Balanced Pilates is a great way to stay healthy. The instructors are caring and supportive. I had a setback this year and had rotator cuff surgery and they have helped me on the road to a safe and quicker recovery. The multiple options for classes, online or in person, make it easy to find a slot that works for you. It is also great to meet and talk to new people that join us!

The Balanced Pilates and Wellness team is great. Warm and welcoming, they quickly put you at ease. You know they are there to listen and to help you find the right solutions that meet your needs. The instructors are well trained and keep their classes fresh and challenging. During COVID I took full advantage of their online live classes which I still do today – convenient if you cannot make it to the studio. I also enjoy the equipment classes which are frequently a bonus exercise for my brain. This year the team helped me prepare for 2 weeks of walking in Europe and it sure paid off - I was able to navigate some steep steps without a hitch. I consider my ongoing membership to be a personal investment in my longevity and quality of life.

What an amazing studio to have found. Balanced Pilates and wellness boutique is truly a one stop shop. Betsy has created a wellness center that incorporates Pilates, nutrition, dry needling, Physical therapy, and so much more.

However, the best part of balanced Pilates is the community that has been established. The trainers are absolutely amazing!!! They make sure to provide multiple ways of modifying or intensify a work out. And the members are absolute gems. What a blessing it is to have found that’s amazing group quite literally in the heart of Midland Michigan.

One of our goals when we retired last year was to commit to excercise plan. We heard about BALANCED pilates, took Intro classes (which are great as you get to know which each class offers, etc.) and we are not disappointed! We actually look forward to classes! Betsy and her team of knowledgable and friendly instructors work with you--personally- modifying exercises for us if needed, ensure we are doing exercise properly to avoid any injury, and make classes fun all while getting a good workout in! Thank you all so much! Eline & Paul Morabito

I simply CANNOT RAVE ENOUGH about the incredible physical therapy I have been getting with the owner of Balanced Pilates, Betsy O'Malley! After seeing SO many physical therapists over many.... many.... years for an injury I sustained in a car accident in 2008 I was starting to be resigned to the fact that I was never going to get well. But I feel like I am finally starting to make REAL progress with Betsy's pilates-based PT and I keep wondering if I am dreaming... can it really be true? YES!

But don't let her "sunshiney" demeanor and very upbeat and positive personality fool you! Every move you make is constantly under her watchful eye and scrutiny as she is constantly evaluating what is working, what is not working which leads her to almost constantly revise and improve your treatment. This is something I have never experienced anywhere and is what makes this clinic so great as she clearly REALLY CARES and wants you to get better! You simply cannot do any better than this! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I really enjoy deep stretch. Not feeling as tight with the movements as I used to. Before, bending and stooping for an extended period could be a challenge. My muscles don't feel as tired. Highly recommend.

Chair Pilates was an awesome class. Instructor - Beth worked all parts of the body including arms/upper body, leg muscles, using the band to work legs and leg muscles which all contribute to helping with balance and maintaining it. We also stood using the back of our chair or the bar on the wall to do squats, lunges, and pushups. It is such great over all body workout doing reps that make you feel stronger with this class and not hard on joints but you do feel stronger after doing it. The people in the class are awesome and so welcoming when you come to this class and you all grow close in improving our bodies for life past 50. Just because most of the class is done from a chair; it truly a great workout.

I have been a member of Balanced Pilates for over 7 years now and feel so strong and healthy. I love how Betsy and the instructors make classes interesting and fun and they keep adding more activities. Chef Robert and Nutritionist Dawn Ernesty make such healthy and nutritious food, too.

Three plus years and going strong ❤️❤️❤️
You know you’re in the right place when people greet you by name, really, really get to know you (your limitations and your yet to achieve goals) AND when doses of humor are sprinkled within your sessions to make it fun. Smiles are exchanged as much as encouraging looks from your fellow friends urging each other, “yeah, you got this”. Balanced Pilates and Wellness boutique has really transformed my life-physically, mentally, emotionally.

Love, love, love this place! Coming from someone who had previously dreaded working out I truly look forward to my classes at Balanced. The instructors are great and are all very knowledgeable and welcoming. As an added bonus they offer so much more than just classes. Coffee is always ready to go, and the kitchen has yummy (healthy) treats and meals available to grab. Your future self will thank you for making Balanced part of your life - I promise!

Edited to add: Class times are offered for even the busiest of schedules. Love that I can carve out a piece of my day early in the morning just for me. It's the perfect way to start the day. The mental and physical benefits of incorporating Balanced into your life far outweigh the costs.

After taking a looong hiatus from exercise classes, I finally decided to take my health seriously. From the private lessons to the Pilates classes, I’ve experienced nothing but positive, encouraging instructors. The variety of classes has been a huge benefit for me. I truly believe that I will be able to stick with a health routine via Balanced Pilates for a long time to come.

If you knew me you know I’m not the type to love working out but these ladies make it fun! For the first time since high school I don’t walk away from every workout with back pain or a stiff neck. I’ve truly come to enjoy and look forward to my classes, plus, it feels good to take care of ME for a change! If you’re looking for a super motivating environment with literally zero judgement and low impact training I HIGHLY recommend checking them out! You won’t regret it!

Edit: 4 months later and I’m STILL loving this place! 💜💜💜

A side benefit is that I am meeting so many new friends!! I highly recommend Balanced Pilates for anyone😍

I started at Balanced in January 2020 (pre-pandemic), and since the stay-at-home orders began, I have been a daily member (one class per day). It has been the best decision I've made all year! The community is inviting, and all the instructors are simply phenomenal. There is never judgment or need to be nervous - every class offers adjustments for your body. No one ever pushes you to do something your body isn't ready for [today, tomorrow, ever]. I cannot recommend Balanced enough.

“I’ve enjoyed doing STOTT Pilates with Betsy for more than four years. Classes are both relaxing and challenging. Betsy is very accommodating and suggests modifications for any movements that don’t work for an individual. With her commitment to wellness, she is open to discussing any challenges that people are experiencing. Betsy is very patient and wants all of us to understand the purpose of each movement. This builds our self-awareness of how our body functions and encourages us to be mindful of how we move outside of class. So glad we’ve found her.”

Balanced Pilates and wellness Botique is THE place to go in Midland! Betsy has created an atmospher of warmth and welcoming to all the walk through the door. Being new to Pilates, I was a bit nervous as to how it all works...especially with the reformer and spring wall classes...but Betsy and her staff walk you through every move so you know your doing it the correct way. They are very passionate about their craft, and it shows every time you’re in a session.

I love these classes! The environment is so relaxed and welcoming. I enjoy all the people I have met through the spring board classes. I have been a physical therapist for over 27 years and I am always looking for classes for my patients to participate in. I have great confidence that Betsy will provide proper guidance in her classes. There are a variety of ways to exercise, gain strength and flexibility at BALANCED. I highly recommend it to everyone at any fitness level!!
