In-Person Group Classes
We offer a range of group classes at various levels which include apparatus with special small props (Oovs, Spinefitters, etc.) to create a sensory-rich experience with appropriate challenge to our multi-level population.
Our unique KONNECT Reformer Classes use the state of the art KONNECTOR® Retrofit on our Balanced Body® Reformers, creating a neurological smorgasbord of variations that you can't reproduce with standard reformers because the strap system allows for more a functionally comprehensive experience. The towers allow for additional exercises that would normally only be accessible on the Cadillac/Trapeze table in a private session.
No other studio in the area has a more fully outfitted KONNECTOR® & Tower class studio as ProBalance®.

Group Apparatus Classes
How do I know if I’m in the right level of class?
We offer multilevel classes designed for various populations. Note that while the levels provide a guide, there will be times when we may require a certain level of proficiency in a private or duet session to ensure your safety before being allowed to participate in a class. Group apparatus classes are 50 minutes in length unless otherwise specified.
LEVEL 0 - Intro or Specialized Rehab Class
Have little or no experience with Pilates exercises on the mat or apparatus. Need a slower pace, moderate assistance with changing settings on apparatus, and/or assistance with modifications & positioning for pre-existing medical precautions (i.e. low bone density, prenatal/postpartum, sciatica, total joint replacements, spine issues, balance, etc.). Need significant instruction and cuing on posture and movement fundamentals. Slow pace with additional instruction for safety, set-up, form, & body positioning.
LEVEL 1 - Basic or "Deep" Fundamentals
May or may not have Pilates experience (past or present) on either mat or apparatus. May need minimal/moderate assistance with changing settings on apparatus, and/or assistance with modifications & positioning for medical precautions. May need minimal/moderate cuing for posture and movement fundamentals. Deliberate, un-rushed pace to experience the movement in your body and to experience the nuances that bring depth to the exercises.
LEVEL 2* - Flow - Intermediate
Moderate fitness level and have substantial Pilates experience within ProBalance, specifically working on the apparatus (Konnectors, Oov, etc) in a class setting or privately within the ProBalance Studio. Able to change most spring/apparatus settings with little or no assistance. Able to self modify and properly position with necessary props for any pre-existing medical conditions. Have a solid grasp of posture/movement fundamentals with good body awareness with more complex sequencing/exercises. Faster pace with more complex transitions and variations.
LEVEL 3* - Advanced/Athlete/Teacher Training Level
High fitness level and/or in-depth understanding of Pilates, practicing Pilates consistently at least 2x/week for 6+ months privately or in classes, and/or is currently in a Pilates Teacher Training program or is a Pilates teacher. Able to change all spring/apparatus without assistance. They must have excellent body awareness and a solid understanding of any limitations within their bodies as there will be exercises that may include movements not suitable for all bodies.
*Classes marked with the * require instructor approval to participate and may require contacting us directly for scheduling.
PRIVATE SESSIONS FOR THE PRICE OF A GROUP CLASS: TRY OUT AN APPRENTICE TEACHER
The ProBalance® Studio is a host teaching facility for the globally recognized Polestar® Comprehensive Teacher Training Program, as well as several movement related continuing education courses/workshops.
We periodically have Apprentice teachers who have been approved to see clients so they can log in their required Apprentice Teaching hours and gain experience teaching on all of the major apparatus (reformer, trapeze table/tower, combo chair, ladder barrel, and spine corrector).
The benefit of working with an Apprentice is that they will put you through a fitness screening session to identify your problem areas and then work privately with you using most, if not all of the major apparatus in your session for the same price of a 50 min Apparatus group class.
