Welcome! Join us and practice Reformer Pilates in Claremont and Applecross
Welcome to Balanze! If you’re new or returning to Pilates, you’re in the right place.
At Balanze, we’ll guide you through a practice that feels supportive, clear and uplifting, with expert instruction and layers so you can choose the option that feels good for you.
Expect a full body workout, with a focus on technique first, so you can build strength, improve your posture and feel more confident in your body. Because Pilates is a mind-body practice, you’ll also leave feeling a calm energy.
Start with our $99 Welcome Offer:
- Claremont: Reformer Pilates + mat Pilates
- Applecross: A dedicated reformer Pilates studio
If you’re a beginner, we recommend starting with Technique Reformer, or a private Pilates session tailored to you.
Practice with us on our premium Balanced Body Allegro 2 reformers. They’re super smooth and offer the infinity footbar for more versatility. Start with Technique Reformer (beginner to intermediate), then progress to Energy Reformer (intermediate). If Teaser on the box and standing on the reformer are your jam, then challenge yourself with Sweat Reformer. Please bring grip socks or purchase them in studio.
Explore our mat room at our Claremont studio. Diversify your workouts with Powerhouse Mat (mat Pilates). You can BYO mat or borrow our Manduka mats. Change rooms and toilets are available. Please bring a sweat towel and water bottle.
