Toning up by butt for pool season. I got a sweet Livingsocial deal here... 5 classes for 49 bucks (normally 200). I had no clue what I was getting myself into. The studio is small and clean (only 4 students per class). I was the only dude in all the sessions. I worked with 3 different instructors (Maria,Monica, and Jen). All very knowledgeable and professional. They focus a lot on toning legs and butts. Its definitely a lot harder than it looks. Overall, the classes helped me increase my flexibility, strengthen my inner thighs, and tighten my butt. Keep up the good work, Body in Mind! read more

Body In Mind Pilates Studio - Pilates Near Me

See all

Body in Mind is located at Palms Place inside Drift Spa. I didn't know what to expect when I first signed up for this. I initially thought we would be using the reformers but it turned out to be an intimate mat style Pilates class given my Nina. She started off telling us about the benefits of Pilates and how she got involved in it. She refers to her class as Bootylates and she is a walking advertisement that it works! I currently take Hot Pilates at another studio so I was familiar with most of the exercises we performed. What differed about this class is being that it is not in a hot room I really felt I could concentrate more on the actual exercise, my form and my breathing more so then I do in a Hot room where I know those things get compromised as fatigue from the heat sets in. This studio is on the smaller side, Nina had 12 mats set up for us and there were about nine of us in class. The class size max is also a bonus as Nina can check form and correct if needed. Although she didn't use the reformers they are in the studio along with some . And just this week I saw a Groupon for a one on one session for $50 which is quite the deal for this type of instruction. Drop in class rate is $20. read more

This class was great and it surprisingly was more of a workout than I had imagined. I had tried pilates once before a few years back at the gym and was excited to try a "real" class this time around. When I showed up I realized this class was called Bootylates, which was a little awkward at times for me and Tony T, the only 2 guys at this particular event. Our instructor and also the owner, Nina, was awesome and showed us each move a couple times before having us do them. She was very encouraging and had us do more advanced moves after she noticed how awesome we were at mastering all the beginners ones. Nina also gave us tips on each move on how not to injure ourselves. I'm sure it helped because we all finished without injury. The thing I liked most about this class was the size. Everyone all got a lot of attention from Nina because there was only about 8 or 9 of us. I believe maximum class capacity for her classes is set at 10-12. I would consider coming back to attend classes in the future. Big thanks to Nina and her studio for having us and allowing us to try out her class! read more

Body In Mind Pilates Studio - Pilates Near Me

Nina's pilates studio is adjacent to the Drift Spa at Palms Place- if you go in by the casino, you'll need to take the Skywalk and it's by the pool. Though tiny, the space is intimate, organized, and welcoming. I especially liked the two screens showing peaceful water and candle images throughout our session. Nina, like her studio, is small and organized too, and super friendly! After a quick introduction and a rundown of her experience and expertise in fitness, we began. Our bootylates class was a combination of balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance, focusing on the backside. We started with a cardio warm up that worked all the large muscles and had a good number of squats, before moving into more pilates-type moves and an entire planking session. Through out, Nina both modeled and verbally directed us to the proper positions and corrected our form when necessary. I liked that the majority of our workout simply involved a mat to work on and a mirror to make sure we were positioned properly. Many of the moves were small but you could feel the muscles engaged right away, and even after the session, I felt a good slight soreness as I walked down the stairs. My favorite move was probably the part where we were visualizing a pencil sticking out of our knee, and drawing a tennis ball-sized circle with it on the wall in front of us. That burned, in a good way, right away! Gonna have to remember that one. Our class closed with a yoga pose and a mini-meditation, and Nina took out a card with a thought of the day involving the act of giving love as key to happiness. Nina's soothing voice and the wording of the message itself came off as very genuine, simple, and applicable to anyone. I left in a very calm and centered mood, and despite not "feeling" like I work out, my body felt like it had been worked- always a good sign! read more

This intimate pilates studio (maximum of 12 people in a session) is located on the second floor (officially level 6B) of Palms Drift Spa and Hammam, between Bodyheat Tanning and Drift Fitness Center. All of this is located within Palms Place, across from Simon Restaurant & Lounge. The best way to access it is to park in the open lot next to Palms Place, away from the main casino. Nina, owner and instructor, has such a wonderful energy about her. She's upbeat, energetic, positive, and most importantly, great with leading and motivating the class. After we filled out forms, checked in, and got settled (yoga mats and small bottle of water provided; so awesome!), we received an introduction to Body in Mind and the specially-formulated "Bootylates" class. We hilariously shared our concerns of getting our butts kicked, but she said that our class was very strong and because of that reason, we received intermediate instruction (she has three levels of difficulty)! So, go us! The class was awesome!! Certainly not as difficult as I thought it would be and lots of fun. I've done pilates before and am a big fan, so this was just as enjoyable. It was all about endurance, strength, and flexibility. There were several different workouts that I hadn't done before and were really great. Some of the "on-all-fours" exercises were extra challenging with my injured knee, but it didn't stop me from trying! Toward the end of class, Nina read an inspiration card that reminded us to love and that if we do, we will receive love in return. Then, we finished with a little meditation and breathing. Such a refreshing, relaxing cool down. How could you not feel at peace? This was definitely one of my favorite sessions of Yelp's Fit Club this month (and my last!) and I highly recommend it to others. Oh, and shoutout to Warren for representing the men of Yelp at Bootylates! read more

Today I took Nina's de stress and stretch class. It was an incredible gift, preparing me physically and mentally for the afternoon of taking care of my 3 kids and husband. The class gave me a thorough, and enjoyable stretch for my body with meditation moments, AND the most unique part of the class -sharing our personal intention cards -reading them out loud -bringing in a community piece to our time, which is VITAL in sustaining our well-being, and getting the most out of life! The atmosphere was accepting and relaxed -without any worry about being judged. read more

I took a Pilates Reformer class with Ronni yesterday via class pass. The studio is located in Palms Place. It was pretty easy to find. The studio is located above the spa so the amenities around the studio are nice and clean. Ronni did a fantastic job! This was one of the better reformers classes I have taken. She had us performing moves that I had never seen on a reformers. She also had us using balls and the box which made it fun. Overall, I felt like I got a nice burn in my glutes and legs. I will likely return for more :) read more

I was in town for NYE and wanted a Pilates based workout so I searched my ClassPass app finding Nina's class. I signed up for 2 different classes and both were awesome. I really recommend this studio and working with Nina. She focuses on "you" and is a wealth of knowledge to help guide you on your wellness journey.

In town for a long and exhausting trade show, I thought it would be good for me to get some yoga in to keep me feeling good and energetic. Not knowing anyone in Vegas, I found Nina on Google and left her a voicemail. Within MINUTES she had me set up with a session that perfectly suited my schedule. She repeated this throughout the duration of my stay - improving the whole experience immeasurably. Couldn't recommend more. read more

My girlfriend and I (pilates instructor in San Diego) recently took a class with Galina, and I must say she's top notch! Her cuing is simple and precise, bringing new perspective and depth even to the simplest of movements. She brought about 4 levels of fitness together into a perfect workout for all! That is genius, and a sign of a true quality teacher! Fabulous! read more

I was in Vegas for work and found Nina's morning meditation & stretch class on my ClassPass app. I've been wanting to add mediation into my daily routine as part of my New Years resolutions. I felt amazing afterwards, much more relaxed and ready to start my day on a positive note ! Nina is also a Pilates instructor. She has an opening for her next class that same morning. So I signed up for that as well. I've been doing Pilates for almost a year now, and really enjoyed her class. Only 6 reformers. Nina is one-on-one with each person in her class. One of her personal touches, is that she hands out inspirational cards (you choose from a deck). I loved this concept. I truly appreciate what Nina puts into her classes and her clients well being. She's inspiring to live a healthy lifestyle I travel a lot for work, so I also purchased Nina's online classes so I can continue to better my health and lifestyle with her support read more

Had an amazing time here for this Yelp event. Finally had time to go to a Yelp fit club event! The studio is actually on the seventh floor and part of Drift Spa. Small studio but feels very intimate. Nina, the instructor, was awesome. Sweet and really encouraging. I felt pretty motivated with her. She had a very positive attitude that melted any insecurity I had in participating. We sampled a bit of beginning to immediate level pilates moves. There were leg stretches that actually had my heart pumping! It wasn't anything too strenuous, but it did engage a bunch of muscles that I normally wouldn't use or push as much. I liked all the valuable tips she offered throughout the class. Like about keeping your belly tucked in to work your core. Or to keep your chin tucked in to prevent strain on your neck while doing sit-ups. I was awkwardly trying to synchronize my movements with Nina's, and after a long while I finally was able to. I had fun laughing at myself with two left feet. This was a really fun class! Felt like no time at all. I believe there's another Bootylates class on march 29th, so it's well worth it to make it out here! Only about an hour long. I'm definitely considering taking a few classes here in the future. read more

This is a very nice studio! I took a Pilates reformer class with Monica and she is an awesome instructor! She pushes you to your limit but doesn't kill you while doing it! She also makes sure that you are doing it correctly so you will get a great workout from it. They have a limited number of machines so make sure you sign up early. And I highly recommend that you take the class with Monica, you won't regret it. read more

I absolutely loved this class! I came in intimidated because the details on the event listing said that you can burn 400-600 calories in a one hour class. I was thinking I was truly going to get my a** kicked. Well with Bootylates we did really work the glues, but the class was more fun than scary. The studio was nice and intimate, many of Nina's classes are only for groups of four, while ours was a group of 12. Our entire class was mat exercises but it was obvious from the studio that there's so much more to pilates... Nina the owner was our instructor, she was so sweet and her body is AMAZING! If she can look like that doing pilates, then count me in!! She demonstrated every movement as well as the dos and don'ts for proper body form, it was so simple to understand and follow. Focusing on Flexibility, Strength and Endurance Nina had us doing a number of different movements from several variations of stretches and planks, to head and hip rolls. Nina kept telling us to get our sexy on, and we sure tried! :) I could really feel the muscles burning but she never worked them to complete exhaustion so we were able to keep going. I kept thinking to myself "Oooh this is good! I need to remember this one so I can do it at home." The hour flew by and I was sad when it was over. I'd really like to take some additional classes to learn more and try some of the pilates machines! With Yelp swag, Kind bars, bottled water and yoga mats all provided, this was definitely another fabulous Fit Club event. read more

I loved this studio! I went to the relax and de-stress class with Nina Waldman and it was awesome. So relaxing and insightful, I felt relaxed and renewed once the class was over! Highly recommend this studio to anyone, they have many classes to fit any need! read more

I took the class Bootylates with Nina. I did see beforehand that in the class you can burn 400-600 calories. I am not sure that we burned that much, but I do feel that certain muscles were used that are normally not. What I find tough about pilates is sustaining a pose and really using the core. Nina makes everything look so easy and gives great tips and visualizations that help you get the moves down. Nina was a great instructor, very positive and encouraging. She asked about injuries in the beginning of the class, which I appreciated. The class had 12 people in a tiny studio that I really feel like 4 would have been the more comfortable number of people, but I understand that it was a special event which we got to know Nina and the studio. Their normal classes have 4 people which I believe would give you more individualized attention. I like the concept of the class with attention on the glutes, hips, thighs. I left feeling like it was pretty easy and Nina had said she made it like a intermediate class because she said we did not seem like beginners. Thanks Yelp for the opportunity to come here, the Yelp swag, and the great workout. I liked the meditation message and card she read at the end. I left in a happy mood. read more

Had 2 sessions with Nina while on a business trip this week. She came up with 2 very different programs but both equally enjoyable. She has a very supportive style - pushes you to the edge (or beyond) your capabilities. She is tough but also gives you positive feedback. Vegas is still not my favorite destination BU working with Nina will make by next trips a bit less annoying. read more

I absolutely loved this class; Nina was very helpful and very motivating. Coming into this class I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it through it, although it was a beginners class it still worked me to a sweat. I liked how she was very informative and showed us the moves before she started us on the new position, I've been to classes before where they just go throughout the work out and don't tell you or explain what you're doing next so your sort of like a chicken without a head before you get your body to go to what the rest of the class is doing. If the Palms weren't so far from where I live I would defiantly look into taking classes here. read more

This place is wonderful! I was in town for a conference and didn't want to abandon my (newly started) fitness regimen. The instructor, Galina - was incredible, she coached me through the routine to allow me to isolate the correct muscle groups (which isn't easy) - was patient and wonderfully encouraging! 6/5 for this place! read more

First off, I love where this studio is located and the fact that they are on ClassPass! I love walking into the spa environment and then walking upstairs to a very nice Pilates studio. My instructor Rana was phenomenal and made sure to challenge me and work me out (I was sore the next day). I also really appreciated that she took the time to explain each move to me and show me the correct way to perform the exercise - even though I am not a newbie to reformer Pilates, I can sometimes get confused with some exercises. If you're in need of a Pilates studio, you e found your place! I'm not normally from Las Vegas, but when I'm in town, I make it a point to stop in for a session! read more

This Pilates class was a great workout. It wasn't too easy and wasn't too difficult. Nice moderate exercise. The space where it is located is so fun -- Palms Place right across from Simon Restaurant. This may become our regular Pilates spot -- on the way home from work for both me and my boyfriend. read more

Nina, Galina and Jen are the best! They are very professional and knowledgable. They concentrate on form in order to make the session very rewarding and meaningful. They take the time to explain the various exercises and the importance of doing each movement correct. Highly recommend Nina and any of her team members. Dennis C read more

I'm from out of town and took two classes at this studio--one with Galina and one with Nina. I loved the small class size and that both instructors were very conscious about my form and alignment throughout class. I'm excited to have gotten tips about correct alignment that I can take with my into my continued pilates practice! read more

Two weeks ago I did Nina's bootylates workshop at xenxen. It was absolutely amazing. At this workshop I found out that she is offering a Bootylates 1 certification program the following weekend. I am so glad I signed up! The certification program took about 3 hours, but was very informative and motivating. If you haven't taken Bootylates yet, you should! It is exactly what it sounds like it would be... Pilates for your booty! (With a bit of cardio and abs.) read more

Body In Mind Pilates Studio is THE BEST studio in Vegas for pilates. Nina is wonderful! She's encouraging, knowledgeable, and experienced in the industry like no other. The studio far exceeds any other studio in Vegas. It's clean, properly equipped and gorgeous...just like Nina. read more

Very good class with Natalia. I and a friend attended a class during our vacation in Las Vegas. If we lived there, we would return. Thank you- read more

Nina was great! I was traveling for business and staying at Palms Place, so it was a super convenient location. I contacted her ahead of time to get signed up, she was super responsive responding back the same day answering all my questions. It was my first time taking Pilates, and first time taking a spin class. She was very patient, and helpful in both classes. She gave great advice and the right amount of challenge focusing on my form and technique. I'm definitely going to sign up again the next time I'm in Las Vegas. read more

I first met Nina Waldman and went to her studio, Body in Mind two years ago. I feel so fortunate that my trainer referred me to Nina. I had previously done some Pilates sessions a few times, but really did not find them enjoyable or felt like they were helpful to me. But, after my first session with Nina, I quickly changed my mind. Nina is a true professional, who brings her passion to her work on a daily basis. She is a gentle, informative and helpful teacher and I always feel good after doing a class or session with Nina. She develops a wonderful rapport with her clients and is always there for questions, even when she is not in class. After three months of working with Nina and her staff, I began to see a difference in my strength, balance and figure. She also "walks her talk" and is a true source of inspiration. My life is better because of Nina and the work she does! read more

Since I am approaching my one year anniversary with Body in Mind Pilates Studio, the time is now to give this studio and the wonderful instructors a positive review. It would be impossible to find a better studio in this town. The instructors absolutely top the charts with their dedication, knowledge, kindness and expertise. I am that girl that hated to exercise... until now ;). They have private lessons amongst many different types of group classes so I assure you there is something for everyone. My mind, body and soul have truly changed and evolved for the better because of Body in Mind. Thank you Nina and the rest of your fabulous studio staff! read more

Amazing! I was in Vegas for a work conference and wanted to do something healthy and fun with a client. I found Nina and her studio online and I am so happy I did! Nina is very sweet, funny and professional. I can tell she knows what she is doing and truly cares about your health when you are in her care. Her studio is kept clean and tidy which I appreciate very much. She is a believer in holistic health and therapy and I love that - she let us smell some essential oils and we read from angel cards (cards with a positive message and words to live by)...I felt strong and lean when I left Nina's class - all of sudden I stood taller; both physically and spiritually...the next time I am in town, I cannot wait to see her again and take a class...you should too! read more

An amazing full body (and mind) workout provided by Nina Waldman and her talented and friendly staff. I've been a client for eight years and I believe that's a testemant to the quality and service provided by Body in Mimd Pilates Studio. It's a fun atmosphere and the best workout I've had hands down! read more

I'm a big fan of Body in Mind. Started attending classes there in June, 2012 and in just a few months I can see a huge difference in the way I feel and look. I have taken a few dozen private Pilates reformer classes with Nina (owner), Joyce, and Galina. All three made me feel very comfortable in the beginning (I had never done Pilates) and I love the studio inside the Palms Place spa. I used to dread working out, but actually look forward to my sessions with them. They also are very knowledgeable about all facets of health & nutrition and I never feel rushed after the work-out is over - they take the time to answer all my questions. Highly recommend! read more

Extremely knowledgable, professional and current Pilates studio. Whether you are learning Pilates for the first time, are an athlete/ performer or just returning back to the practice (like me after several years) Nina's studio is perfect for individualized private session or group class instruction. Lovely people, talented instructors and overall friendly environment. This sophisticated Pilates studio is conveniently located at the chic Palms Place (which is great) and can be easily accessed from the various complimentary parking areas. Flexible session blocks and diverse class schedule that is suitable for all levels. read more

Great guided meditation and stretch session to start your day. I would recommend.

Just went to my first class and absolutely loved it! Did the intro to pilates session and then the beginner reformer class with Marla and she was amazing. She's the perfect person to get anyone started and simply super sweet. Can't wait for my next class! Also, the studio is on the 6th floor inside the Palms Palace, inside the Drift Spa. read more

Simply amazing. This is the first time in my life where I worked out and I never once looked at the clock! The studio is clean, beautiful and inviting. I did my first class with Nina and she has the best energy you could want for an intimidated beginner. I can't wait to come back. read more

We were in Vegas for a week and I took 2 classes here: a pilates class and a beginner level yoga class. Both were great! Mark taught the pilates class and he was a great instructor with lots of energy. Samantha taught the yoga class and she was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! read more

Loved Nina and her studio! Was so happy to find a reformer class close To my hotel while I am in town for a few days. I'll be back every time I visit Vegas. Nina is friendly and knowledgeable and will kick your booty! read more

Class was excellent. In from Houston for the WSOP! Nina was so awesome about getting me in class. Going back tomorrow and everyday we are here in Vegas. Thank you Nina. Can't wait to try out your web-site for your de stress and stretch visor instruction at www.bootylates.com read more

Nina and her team are amazing. I was intimidated starting because I'd never done Pilates before, and I used to think that Pilates was only for thin people but let me tell you - I feel leaner, and better after each class and throughout the day. I'm more aware of my stance and posture and am more productive and efficient. I highly recommend the staff her. You won't be disappointed! read more
