Craig Pepin-Donat

After spending 30 years working in the fitness industry and making all the mistakes you can make lifting too much weight or lifting too often, I have developed some serious injuries and my body finally told me it was time for a change. Having operated clubs my whole life, I have never paid a penny to exercise so needless to say I was skeptical. I really needed to find the right solution and a team of professionals that understood my personal needs. I found all that and more at...

I have been doing Pilates and Gyrotonic for the last 10 years and it has eliminated my back pain, especially the problems that I used to have with my back when I traveled. At this point I am looking for an exercise program for life, one that keeps me flexible and fluid in my movement. I recommend Pilates and Gyrotonic for Life!

Helen Short

Pilates (and gyrotonics) became a regular part of my fitness and personal care routine after suffering through a herniated disc in my neck, followed by a partially frozen shoulder. The Body Balance Institute has the most wonderful setting and the greatest instructors. This has made a positive difference in my life!

Michael Coe, NFL football player for the New York Giants

I was looking for a place to do pilates and yoga during the off season to get more flexibility in my hips and work on some other things that I needed. I was referred to Body Balance Institute and what is so cool about this place is all the different techniques they offer including gyrotonic and powerplate. They offer so many different ways to reach your goals and so much more than just the standard stretctching.

I am hooked on Gyrotonics and Pilates. I had neck and shoulder pain for years. I tried every kind of medical and chiropractic treatment with no relief. I tried Pilates at Body Balance and within 6 months was pain-free. I have now been a client at Vicki's studio for seven years and swear by their methods. I had looked for years for a training and exercise program that would be a part of my weekly routine, but had never been satisfied. Body Balance was my answer.

"I've been coming to BBI for the past year and find the staff and equipment second to none. Over the past five years I have visited several studios using various Piliates methods, but none have equaled BBI. The difference has been that, rather than focus on a particular system, BBI's trainers focus on the client and adjust the workouts to their needs. Over the past year each workout has been unique and integrated into my overall fitness regime. I have also taken...

Body Balance Institute is such a helpful caring place. I have gained tremendous benefit for my shoulder and neck injuries here. The atmosphere is very conducive to healing, relaxing and focusing on whatever your needs are. It is completely different from some of the gyms I have been to. There simply is no other place like this.

The best perscription my Physician ever gave me was to join Body Balance Institute. It has changed my life, mind, body, and soul.

Annie Werhle

Body Balance institute is the best pilate studio in Jacksonville and might be in the country. They helped transform my body and made my core stronger at every step of my pregnancy (pre and post portum) with a great personal customized program. My energy level while pregant and after pregnancy was superior and I know the instructors had a lot to do with the fact that the birthing process was easier this time. Their personalities and encouragements...
