Pure Balance has been amazing with supporting me through a knee injury. I’m stronger and more body aware because of my time with them. I can’t recommend them more!
2.5 years later and I still love them! There’s something for everyone so come join us!

I started classes as a total newcomer to Pilates and Balance with Corrine has been a great class for me! She is so good at explaining the exercises and providing modifications for everyone in the class. She is very considerate of different anatomical needs. Pure Balance is such an inviting and clean space!

I’ve taken a few classes now and have fallen in love with it! I have pretty achey joints and these classes are fantastic low impact exercises that still make you feel the burn. The instructors are so nice and explain each movement so well. 10/10 recommend!!

I initially tried Pure Balance as a way to supplement physical therapy while I recovered from a surgery, but quickly became hooked! The instructors are always so kind and happy to offer modifications to exercises, and make Pure Balance a welcoming place for all body types.

I was recommended to Pure Balance by Thrive Integrative Medicine & I’m eternally grateful.
I have scoliosis, PTSD, and a connective tissue disorder which makes me injury prone & misunderstood by most providers and teachers.
Ali (the owner and an instructor) is familiar with my condition (hyper mobility / ehler’s Danlos syndrome) and is trauma-informed.
She and the team at PB are kind, competent, skilled, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive.
I consider Pilates the most important investment into my health, energy, mobility, strength, and safety, and PB is my favorite studio ever.

Pure Balance Pilates has transformed my body in ways the gym never did. The classes work tiny muscles that help support your core and tone the whole body. I feel strong inside and out!

Ali is so kind and welcoming! I am always so skeptical of fitness businesses due to many being weight loss centric and body shaming, but there is ZERO of that here. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and they truly are careful to tend to all abilities!

As a Pilates instructor myself, I’m very picky about where I take classes. The instruction at Pure Balance is excellent, with some of the best bodywork practitioners and trainers in Athens often moonlighting here. I even recommend my own clients branch out and take classes here. The community events and workshops make it feel like a space where you can meet and take friends as well.

I absolutely love pure balance, Ali and April are AMAZING and make such an effort to really know you personally and make sure you’re getting the best experience, I have EDS and both of them always look out for me and keep an eye on how I hyperextend and I’m SO grateful for that!!! Best studio ever

It has been three months since my first class at Pure Balance and I was hooked immediately. All the instructors are so knowledgeable and encouraging. I leave each class stretched, stronger and empowered. Small classes insure personal adjustments and advice so all levels can be together creating a supportive, encouraging and safe place. Absolutely love this studio!

Pure Balance has changed my life for the better! My PT recommended private Pilates sessions with Ali to help me correct muscle imbalances from old injuries and other soft tissue problems. It helped me so much! Now I’m in multiple classes a week with all of the knowledgeable, kind, and supportive instructors. Ali has created an intimate, warm and welcoming studio for all ages, all body types, and all levels of fitness. This is my safe place to push away the outside world and reconnect body and mind. PB lifer!

I love this pilates studio. They have a wide range of classes and instructors to satisfy all levels of difficulty. Additionally, the environment is very welcoming and warm. I’ll miss this place and I hope to find a studio that compares to Pure Balance. Highly doubt it though. 100% recommend.

I have been a member at Pure Balance for almost a year now. I was nervous to try a new way of exercise and now I am addicted in the best way. Every single instructor at PB is encouraging, knowledgeable, and non judge mental (special shout out to April!). I have made this a regular part of my exercise routine, and it has become like therapy to me. I highly recommend Pure Balance to anyone interested!

My husband and I started Pilates about four months ago at Pure Balance. Both of us were novices to Pilates. Thanks to the wonderful instructors at Pure Balance we have both felt comfortable and feel stronger and more fit. Classes are never larger than seven people, which allows instructors to keep an eye on everyone and make corrections to form when needed. I was interested in improving core strength and overall balance; my husband was interested in strength and flexibility. We both feel that we have gained from our experience at Pure Balance!

After a debilitating accident a number of years ago a physician friend recommended I try Pilates reformer to see if it would help with the chronic pain I was experiencing. In the first few weeks of taking reformer classes I was feeling better than I had in years. My back, hip and pelvic floor pain went from almost unbearable to very little pain in a few short weeks of regular classes. I've been an avid Pilates Reformer fan ever since and know it's something I'll do for life.
Over the ensuing years, I've had the opportunity to visit many studios across the country and experience many Pilates instructors and I can say Pure Balance is a real gem in Athens! The studio is warm and welcoming, the instructors are well trained with an eye to detail and alignment and the energy of the space is very positive.
We all have 'different things' we are looking for when searching for a studio. The top three things that are important to me are: the quality of instructors and ambience of the studio, the noise (music volume and quality of music) and lighting.
When I take a class I want to focus on my breath and movement staying 'tuned into' my body so I prefer soft music (not loud or blaring) or even silence. I've enjoyed the music offered by PB teachers! Another factor for me is lighting. Since you're lying on your back on the reformer most of the time looking up, the lighting above can be which overstimulating, bright and even blinding. PB has offset scones and dimmers on lights that make all the difference. I know these things may seem minor to some, but they are important to me.
I love this 'attention' to detail that Ali, the owner, put into the Pure Balance. She and her teachers are well trained and offer a great variety in all of their classes. As a teacher it's easy to go on "auto pilot" and not put planning or effort into preparing to teach a class. I've never felt this from any of the teachers at PB.
So if you're looking for a great pilates studio in Athens, I recommend Pure Balance!

I love everything about Pure Balance. The instructors are all so very knowledgeable and helpful. The class size is small, in a non stressful environment. It’s like you have a personal trainer each class. They emphasize correct form, and are always watching each of us as we are working out. The instructor is mindful of our individual strengths and weaknesses, and continue to support our individual goals. It’s all about attaining, improving, on our own strengths, our sense of balance ,both physical and mental, and definitely a confidence booster. There are self improvement and health based, (mental and physical ) topics offered, for small group support, and discussion , I highly recommend Pure Balance. Try a class… it’s awesome.

I have been a member for 5 months now, and it is absolutely wonderful! I take two private lessons per week, and 3-4 classes per week. Honestly, I don’t have anything negative to say. Every instructor is wonderful, Megan runs the business seamlessly, and Ali has created the most beautiful community for women. Athens is lucky to have Pure Balance, and I will be a member for life!

I have been a massage therapist in Athens since 1995, and I am picky about pilates. When Pure Balance opened I was so excited because the owner has been trained and seems to deeply value the true rehabilitation and transformative nature of what Joseph Pilates intended when he designed the reformer and the exercises that make up Pilates movements.
I went at first and then I stopped going for over a year and I tried a class again this week and all I can say is: they attention to details about form, the positive atmosphere, it may feel hard to walk in to your first class, you may wonder if you will be able to do the class or that even if you can do it if you will feel comfortable and all I can say is GO here - everyone is welcome! Every instructor has the same class culture, they are there to help you feel great inside and out.THANK YOU
Pure Balance Pilates!

Ali was so attentive, friendly, and knowledgable. If you're new to pilates, she does an excellent job of breaking down the movements and making you feel comfortable in the studio. If you're a pro, she knows exactly how to challenge you. I leave class feeling strong but lean. I love that Athens finally has a pilates studio!

Attention to details is what pilates is about. Pure Balance gives you details. They maximize results fast because of those details. I appreciate the attention and care that they give me during that one hour of my time. Very well worth it. So glad they’re in Athens! Tired of the big box atmosphere? Try Pure Balance and maximize your time and get results fast. Thank you Ali!❤️
