Welcome

The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand.


We listen to reply. -Steven R. Covey
Do you know it was only 13 years ago that Mark Zuckerberg introduced Facebook? And only 10 years ago that Apple
unveiled its first iPhone? Our methods of communication have changed exponentially in just a short bit of time and
show no signs of slowing down. But, as Mr. Covey states, if you are not listening with understanding you arent really
communicating.
Thats what we love about our community of movement professionals. We do listen to understand to what our
clients are saying, to what their bodies are saying and to what our fellow colleagues are saying. It is maybe the most
important aspect of our jobs and how we can all affect positive change in a persons life.
This catalog is living proof of the importance of listening. So many of these products, programs and stories came
to life because of conversations with you: our customers and our inspiration. We hope you enjoy it. Remember that
we print just one catalog each year. Please keep it as a resource, pass it on to a friend, or recycle it when no longer
needed.

And what makes Balanced Body Reformers different?
The most popular and versatile piece of Pilates equipment, the Reformer opens the door
to hundreds of strengthening and stretching exercises. Add in variations on Joseph Pilates

transitions and seamless flow. Easy adjustments and maximized comfort. The result is an
enhanced, effective session for clients, club members, rehabilitation patients and for you,
the Pilates professional.
How does the Allegro 2 do this? First, the EasySet Footbar and SoftTouch rope system will change the way you teach Pilates. The
new universe of exercise possibilities will inspire you, along with smooth-as-silk transitions even while lying on the carriage. Smaller

The Allegro 2 also grows with your Pilates program. Start beautifully basic, then add legs, a tower and accessories, all without
requiring additional space. If space is limited, your Allegro 2 rolls, stacks and stores on end.
Quite simply, the Allegro 2 is the most intuitive, adjustable, easy-to-use Reformer on the market. Perfect for professional and home

Keeping it Green at Balanced Body
At Balanced Body, we want to leave this planet in better shape than we found it.

All Balanced Body woods come from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) suppliers who purchase wood
from well-managed North American forests. In these forests, tree growth exceeds removals by a nearly
2-to-1 margin.

From choosing only sustainably harvested lumber


for our wood products to using recyclable shipping
containers and packing materials, we are constantly
improving our efforts to conduct business in
environmentally-friendly ways.

We are headquartered in a green building in


Sacramento. Its a 100,000 sq. foot building that
houses our office space and manufacturing facility.
The building features 1,000 solar panels (35,000
sq. feet!), CNC machines that maximize product
usage and minimize waste, as well as skylights,
climate-controlled fans, dust collection systems
and a foam roof. You can even see how much
energy-saving solar power we generate on our
web site.

The Finishing Touch:
Wood Choices
Wood choices
Strong, beautiful, environmentally sensitive. No compromises.
Balanced Body wood is beautiful, inviting to the touch, absorbs
noise and is built to last a lifetime. Our woods and construction
methods are time-tested for 40 years, giving us the seasoned
confidence to offerand stand behindour Lifetime Warranty.
We offer two standard wood choices, Strata Rock Maple and
Strata Artisan Maple. Stratas superb strength and durability
come from its solid, multi-grained core, laminated in alternating
grain directions. This creates an exceptionally strong, straight
board, neutralizing the forces that could otherwise cause
twisting. The result is an unusually strong, sturdy woodideal
for Reformer frameswith a distinctive butcher block look.
The Strata engineering process also uses more of the tree with
very little waste, making it not only stronger than single-plank
wood, but more environmentally sensitive.
All Balanced Body woods come from FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council) suppliers who purchase wood from well-managed North
American forests. In these forests, tree growth exceeds removals
by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

A. Strata Rock Maple


Standard for Balanced Body Reformers, Rock Maple is one
reason our equipment lasts practically forever. Rock Maple has
a hardness rating unmatched by beech, oak and pine, and also
a tighter, more consistent grain. You get a superior frame:
Better resistance to expansion and contraction from changes
in temperature and humidity.
Better durability against dents and wear.
Joints remain strong.
Bolts remain tight in the solid wood.

B. Strata Artisan Maple


Strata Artisan Maple is also durable and even more eco-friendly
because it uses still more of the tree. An artful alternative to
the more uniform grain and color of Strata Rock Maple, it is
available at no additional cost. You will notice more natural
color, character and pronounced grain detail.

Balanced Body Select Strata


We also offer Balanced Body Select Strata in Cherry, Mahogany,
A. B.
and Walnut, for an additional cost of $595 per Reformer. For
more information, please call.
All Balanced Body woods are complemented by a smooth,
lustrous finish that brings out the beauty of the natural grain
and protects the wood. Our wood Reformers and Trapeze Tables
are backed by the Balanced Body Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Bodhi Suspension System

The worlds first four point suspension system for fitness!


Bodhi is Sanskrit for awaken. The Bodhi Suspension System helps you awaken the
potential in your body and your mind.
Developed by Khita Whyatt and Kirsten Sell, the Bodhi Suspension System includes two independent ropes which create four
suspension points. You get endless opportunities to suspend the body from each point, and each point choice adds strength,
flexibility, balance and proprioceptive challenges. No other single suspension system can do this.
Suitable and adaptable for all populations, the Bodhi Suspension System is perfect for group exercise, semi-private and private
sessions, post-rehab sessions and home use. Options include attachment anchors for a wall, ceiling or door.

Pilates and Placekickers
Kicking in the NFL is a stressful job and takes a tough mentality. While the action rages
on the field during a normal football game, you can usually find the kicker standing on the
sideline or simulating field goals by kicking into a net at the end of the bench.
When a kicker finally sees action, many times its with the game on the line. Often its a
single kick that wins or loses the game. Youre either the hero or the goatthere is seldom
an in-between.

Anatomy + Movement Skeleton
Calling all students and anatomy nerds...
Born of many years teaching our Anatomy in Three Dimensions courses, Balanced Body
has explored compelling ways to teach musculoskeletal anatomy. Building muscles in clay
on a specially-designed skeleton is effective, engaging and fun.
For those who prefer personal exploration, or who teach anatomy in other settings, we are excited to introduce
our Anatomy + Movement products for your own use.
No contract or licensing is required, and photography of the Anatomy + Movement Skeleton is freely allowed.

Accurate, beautiful, detailed


Anatomically correct and more detailed than others available
at this price. Similarly detailed skeletons cost twice as much.
One side shows major tendons and ligaments.
It is custom-designed specifically for the purpose of teaching
anatomy through the use of clay. Not an artists interpreta-
tion, the beautiful design comes from scans of actual bones.
Designed in the USA.

Easy to use, removable parts


Arms and legs show a variety of positions to facilitate a clear
understanding of how muscles change length and position
with movement.
Arms detach easily via magnets at the shoulder, making
them easy to build and attach.
Skull removes to allow for building.
