LifeBalance

I was referred to Life Balance for a hip issue that prevented me from sleeping on my sides without pain. Tressa has worked with me for 8 months and I have been able to sleep on my sides pain free. Tressa knows my limitations and challenges me "a little bit more" that I feel good at the end of a class. Pilates and Tressa have become a necessary habit that I can not do without my weekly group classes. I highly recommend anyone that has discomfort, pain or just wants to try something different, to try Life Balance.

I wished I’d discovered Pilates and Life Balance sooner. Even though I’m in my 70’s, it has been life changing for me. Tressa has provided a positive and safe environment for me to improve my strength and balance. She helped me prepare for and get through a knee replacement with flying colors She has helped me develop a “can do attitude” when it comes to excercise which I never thought could happen. Thanks, Tressa

Tressa is a great teacher. She knows her students and provides accommodations for specific problems each individual may have. She paces the classes appropriately for the skill level of the group.
During the pandemic, she has arranged the studio to maximize “social distancing” and has been rigorous with cleaning. Having just completed my first year of regular classes, I see significant changes in my strength & flexibility.

LifeBalance is a top notch Pilates studio! Tressa is my favorite instructor and is a knowledgeable and dedicated. This is a small studio but you will receive individual and personalized instruction for you and your body - no matter what your level of fitness is. Being a member for the last 3 years and doing Pilates at LifeBalance has truly helped with my back pain and increased my core strength overall. The studio environment is just one more reason to check out LifeBalance. I highly recommend LifeBalance and Tressa!

The best thing I have ever done for myself!

I have never felt better or stronger. My knee and back pain has vanished. My negative side-effects from having a baby the natural way (ladies...you KNOW what I mean), have almost completely resolved themselves. And while I didn't start Pilates with Tressa to loose weight, I've dropped a dress size and my clothes fit much better with little to no change in my diet.

My husband, who owns Jacksonville Sport and Spine, insisted I start working with Tressa at Life Balance after taking 4 years off from working out after having a baby.

I was so out of shape, I was starting to get achy and knee/back pain. I needed to re-hab and start slowly to prevent injury from a new workout-routine. When I first scheduled with Tressa, I had no idea what Pilates really was, or what it was capable of doing. It's like Physical Therapy meets strength training meets yoga meets barre...I can't even describe it. After a few sessions, I realized I didn't need to do Pilates to get ready to do a different workout...Pilates IS the best exercise/work out I have ever done! (and I've done MANY...Cross Fit, Orange Theory, Personal Trainers, Barre, etc.)

Several months later, I'm still very happy and challenged every class. Tressa personalizes every session to what I need that day and my overall goals.

It is perfect for every fitness level. I recently found out that my former Kindergarten teacher trains with Tressa, too! (She looks amazing, by the way). For reference, I was in Kindergarten in 1987.
