Client Comments:

Why I love Balanced Core Pilates!
I've been taking Pilates lessons with Joanna Daniels/Balanced Core Pilates for over a year and she has helped me in so many ways.  Joanna constantly cues you to use the correct muscles for each exercise and reminds you throughout each workout what to do to properly engage your core.  One of the things I love about Pilates is the amazing equipment.  Joanna has a complete studio of specialized equipment where you can put your body into so many configurations with the bars, straps, and springs of varying resistance.  There are literally hundreds of exercises so it is never boring and always a fun new challenge. 
Being a Nurse and Reiki therapist helps Joanna tailor each class to my needs that day.  Joanna is a fun and caring instructor, who is always focused on me and my needs.  Joanna has a way of making each workout unique and she helps me stay motivated to meet my fitness goals.

I have never been one to work out in any way but every time I work with Joanna, I feel relaxed and energized.  Her medical background is reassuring and I can trust that our work will not aggravate my physical ailments.  I am more conscious of my body; and I stand taller and sit straighter!
