What Makes Us Special?

In Their Own Words

“Joining Every Body Balance has transformed my relationship with exercise and my body. Discovering this gem of a gym and especially meeting Susan has been the highlight of my year. It’s not every day do you come across a fitness instructor who is also a distinguished MIT scientist! At Every Body Balance, I enjoy a variety of classes, including yoga, Pilates, barre, and spinning. Each class is infused with a warm, friendly, and joyful energy that creates a welcoming environment. Working out here is fun and rewarding, thanks to the sense of camaraderie and the exceptional personalized attention. Susan’s extraordinary ability to understand and adapt to everyone’s unique needs and preferences makes every class feel like a tailored personal training session. The studio is a serene and inviting space, with windows opening over a tranquil pond surrounded by beautiful greenery. Occasionally, glimpses of wildlife through the windows add a touch of magic to the atmosphere, enhancing this special place's charm and enriching each visit.” – November 2024

"I am so happy I found this studio! Susan is a wonderful teacher. The classes (I do Yoga, Pilates and Barre) are excellent- challenging but always the option to modify. Class size is small so Susan always asks if there are specific areas anyone wants to work on. The studio is clean, bright and inviting. The timings (8:45am, evening and weekends) fit perfectly with my schedule. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone interested in these classes." - September 2024

"Thank you for your great yoga classes. Not just today's class but all the classes I have attended thus far. What makes Every Body Balance classes special is your teaching, your kindness to help me at my own pace, and enabling me to get to a point to enjoy and complete the practices. This class has been 100% responsible for me to have reduced pain, improved flexibility and less inflammation. Even my physician was stunned to see that my feet that were earlier deteriorating (my metatarsals were stiff) are now flexible and have minimal bone loss. I am now very flexible overall and have less pain and fatigue. Every Body Balance is an amazing place to be." November 2024

I have been teaching barre since 2016. I was drawn to it because in my younger days I was very involved in musical theatre and performed in dinner theatre; moving to music just makes sense to me! I am also an occupational therapist...so to combine music and movement is a win/win! We are taught to teach to the lowest level of participants. I disagree. My classes can be challenging, but there are lots of modifications. I want you to have fun; I want you to have a great work out; but I also want you to be able to feel and see your progress.

As an active (aka hyper) kid participating in gymnastics, cross country and track & field it was only natural to incorporate fitness into my life as an adult. I have been with Every Body Balance since 2016 but I’ve been teaching fitness classes for over 10 years. I hold several certifications that include Barre, Piloxing, POUND, and Marsala Bhangra but my passion is Pilates. I love to combine a balance of strength training and stretching so you feel strong and lean after each class. My hope is to inspire and challenge you! I’ve worked with all ages and levels, small children through aging adults, from beginners to professional athletes and everything in between!! I also work as a school adjustment counselor so I understand the importance of self care and mindfulness, both of which can be achieved through fitness.
