Here at Pure Balance, we have three types of reformer Pilates classes offering a wide variety of movements, intensities and atmospheres. The philosophy behind these classes is for all of them to work in harmony with each other, building upon the balance and strength you gain differently from all three.
Pilates is a mental and physical discipline that uses spring-loaded resistance and body weight exercises to strengthen, lengthen, and tone the body. With an emphasis on core engagement, Pilates strengthens your body as a whole, creating proper alignment and improved posture. The reformer, a Pilates apparatus, provides an intense yet low impact workout, making it perfect for any and all bodies.
I want to help you make goals and promises to yourself and hold you accountable to them- all while giving yourself grace that no one is perfect. I want to remind you that you are worthy of being taken care of. I want you to see that without your cup full, you cannot continue to give and give until there is nothing left.

My husband and I started Pilates about four months ago at Pure Balance. Both of us were novices to Pilates. Thanks to the wonderful instructors at Pure Balance we have both felt comfortable and feel stronger and more fit. Classes are never larger than seven people, which allows instructors to keep an eye on everyone and make corrections to form when needed. I was interested in improving core strength and overall balance; my husband was interested in strength and flexibility. We both feel that we have gained from our experience at Pure Balance!

After a debilitating accident a number of years ago a physician friend recommended I try Pilates reformer to see if it would help with the chronic pain I was experiencing. In the first few weeks of taking reformer classes I was feeling better than I had in years. My back, hip and pelvic floor pain went from almost unbearable to very little pain in a few short weeks of regular classes. I've been an avid Pilates Reformer fan ever since and know it's something I'll do for life.
Over the ensuing years, I've had the opportunity to visit many studios across the country and experience many Pilates instructors

I have been a member for 5 months now, and it is absolutely wonderful! I take two private lessons per week, and 3-4 classes per week. Honestly, I don’t have anything negative to say. Every instructor is wonderful, Megan runs the business seamlessly, and Ali has created the most beautiful community for women. Athens is lucky to have Pure Balance, and I will be a member for life!

I love everything about Pure Balance. The instructors are all so very knowledgeable and helpful. The class size is small, in a non stressful environment. It’s like you have a personal trainer each class. They emphasize correct form, and are always watching each of us as we are working out. The instructor is mindful of our individual strengths and weaknesses, and continue to support our individual goals. It’s all about attaining, improving, on our own strengths, our sense of balance ,both physical and mental, and definitely a confidence booster. There are self improvement and health based,

I have been a massage therapist in Athens since 1995, and I am picky about pilates. When Pure Balance opened I was so excited because the owner has been trained and seems to deeply value the true rehabilitation and transformative nature of what Joseph Pilates intended when he designed the reformer and the exercises that make up Pilates movements.
I went at first and then I stopped going for over a year and I tried a class again this week and all I can say is: they attention to details about form, the positive atmosphere, it may feel hard to walk in to your first class, you may wonder if you will

Attention to details is what pilates is about. Pure Balance gives you details. They maximize results fast because of those details. I appreciate the attention and care that they give me during that one hour of my time. Very well worth it. So glad they’re in Athens! Tired of the big box atmosphere? Try Pure Balance and maximize your time and get results fast. Thank you Ali!❤️
