I generally do Gyrotonic sessions with Susan. She is very skilled in observing and providing corrective advice as to where my execution of the various exercise routines can be adjusted to be more effective and better adapted to my body's capabilities and limitations.

Deep In experience. Susan offers skilled ways to help my body get stronger and more flexible. Always with an eye to protect from injury, she has been critical to my injured back's recovery. I've worked with several other staff and had the same experience. Highly recommend!

The studio is always a pleasure. Everyone is friendly, and the instructors are clear and challenging. The get to know their clients and work to help them with any of their personal pilates challenges. There is something for everyone at Balance which is why I go, and would always recommend them.

loved having Susan as my Pilates trainer. Super knowledgeable about Pilates and very caring to make sure I am doing the moves without injuring myself since I had a hip fracture a year ago. Excellent in every way! Highly recommend.

The instructors at balance are excellent and have taken the time to understand my limitations and issues. The variety of equipment available at the studio is also hard to beat, with both Pilates and gyrotonic equipment available. I started taking classes at the studio before my wedding over 10 years ago. Getting back to in-person sessions after being away during the Covid shut down made me realize how much the work on the equipment has helped me!

Nirinjan explained everything very clearly and provided helpful tweaks and tips that immedialy led to seeing (feeling) helpful adjustments. I defintely felt the burn, but not too much, The studio is very neat, clean and spacious. Everything was right on time and I went straight from walking thru the door to getting in position on the first piece of equipment, no additional paperwork or waiting (just a glob of hand sanitizer). Would definitely recommend it.

Susan does what only the best trainers do: Understands your unique condition and limitations, while continually challenging you to push yourself further. Through spinal troubles, I’ve worked with her on both reformer and mat Pilates, several times a week for 3 years now, to keep my back happy with me and my body limber enough to manage small children. I often find myself telling younger friends with disc degeneration to go see her before they learn the hard way, but I’d recommend her to anyone, in any condition. Wherever you start, she’ll make you better.

I’ve been going to Balance for about 15 years and continue to be impressed by the caliber of instructors, the efficiency of the studio management, and the number and variety of classes offered. During the pandemic, the studio morphed seamlessly and effectively over to zoom classes, and I’m pleased to be able to continue my practice. I take both Pilates and Gyrotonic at Balance and hope to continue for many years to come.

This is a cute, clean, and bright studio. I have experienced both private and group Pilates classes with different instructors. Instructors are all great and very experienced. In addition, classes are small which makes it possible for instructors to pay close attention to each individual.

I have had a Balance monthly group mat class membership for several years, and I love this studio. The physical spaces are attractive, and always clean and bright. The classes are small and led by the very best instructors. The vibe is very communal and friendly. Also, the free parking is a huge bonus. I am so grateful to have Balance Pilates & Yoga Studio in my life!

I have been going to BAlance Pilates and Yoga for years, primarily for the Pilates classes but also for yoga and other fitness classes. The instructors are professionals who help you get the most out of what you hope to achieve through the classes. The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly, and my twice a week classes are the best thing I do to support my health and well-being...

This is the best place for Pilates and Gyrotonics in Bethesda. My daughter went there because she had very specific needs for ballet and needed Gyrotonics. Alesia is a former ballet dancer and is an amazing coach.

I am a dancer in a pre-professional program. Because I dance every day there is wear and tear on the body and recently I have suffered from a few smaller injuries. I began Gyrotonics classes at Balance a few weeks ago and it really helps to make me aware of muscle groups that I may not be using correctly, especially in my core. It has also helped me focus more on arms and upper body when dancing.

Love Balance Pilates! Liz is a fantastic instructor for private equipment lessons as well as group classes. She understands my individual strengths and limitations while helping me push for more. Trying to rehabilitate after a back injury can be challenging. Protecting me from injury while strengthening my core is the goal and Liz is the perfect instructor for realizing this goal. Judith is a wonderful instructor! Love her class so much that I brought my husband along. Her detailed teaching style allows for easy following. She always has modifications for exercises that flow seamlessly into her teaching. Her spirit is so nurturing and positive that taking her class is always a pleasure. Rebecca's classes are always a good workout. She pushes for the class to work harder without making anyone feel they should work beyond their ability. She's a positive and inspiring instructor. Debi, Karen and Brianne are terrific, accomplished instructors who are generous with their teaching style. When I leave Balance Pilates I always feel good physically and mentally. The instructors and staff are kind and positive.
