Before the first time I came to Equilibrium, I judged Pilates as a form of exercise for thin, blonde ladies only, and boy, was I so wrong. I have gone to this Pilates studio for years now, and all of the instructors here have unlocked a love for movement and exercise that I never thought I would achieve separate from appearance based goals. Elissha, Debbie, and Kelly are all wonderful at working with people with complex physical limitations. The pain relief I've achieved through working with these instructors is priceless. read more

I have been taking Pilates classes for several years and have found this studio to be exceptional. The instructors are well trained, the studio has well maintained excellent equipment. If you want an excellent Pilates experience I highly recommend this company. Larry Smith read more

One of the best pilates studios in the area. The instructors here are highly trained and focus on correct form. Everyone one here is very knowledgeable but also supportive and kind in helping you to reach your goals. I'm unaware of any other pilates studio that has physical therapists on staff, which speaks to the fact that their methods are safe and effective. There are options here for everyone whether you are 18 or 88, are brand new to pilates or a pilates rockstar. They offer affordable (compared to other studios) private and duet sessions plus a boatload of reformer and mar classes. Their equipment is clean and always in good working order. The other members are always friendly and no one comes off as snobby or rolls an eye if you're less advanced then them which makes for a supportive environment. read more

I don't know where to start. This Pilates Studio is amazing. I started Pilates a year ago and the instructors here have helped me change my body in the most positive ways. In the past I was a regular at the Chiropractor but no more. It is with time and putting in the work that at age 66 my posture is the best it has ever been and I am the strongest I have been in years. I have taken many classes and every instructor is as great as the last one I took from. The attention to detail that the instructors provide and how your body works correctly all adds up over time. I will continue my journey for as long as life lets me. Thank you Equilibrium for being so great!! read more

This place is the truth! I mean, I've done Pilates before, or at least I thought I had...but after a 60 minute Xtend Barre class I had a new respect for Pilates students and teachers alike. The class was very challenging, and if you were more advanced, you could add weights or balls to your workout to make it even harder. The music was fantastic. The teacher was also very encouraging. It's tucked away off Telegraph road, so you might want to map it before you come. Also, follow them on twitter or like them on facebook for specials and freebies! I got to go to a free class, just for wearing my U of M t-shirt! Otherwise, go online and pay for your class and reserve your spot via their website! read more

Equilibrium is hands-down one of the best Pilates studios in Michigan. All the instructors are fully certified in the Stott Pilates method (although they do have some apprentices who are less expensive to train with) and they have all the best Stott equipment - reformers, cadillacs, chairs, barrels, plus smaller equipment like foam rollers, balance balls, weighted balls, etc etc etc. They offer a wide variety of classes all day long (every day except Sunday) so whether you just need some gentle stretches or you really want to have your butt kicked, you can get it done here. The instructors are really nice, they monitor you constantly to make sure that you're safe, working at the right level, and having fun! In addition to being a great place to get a workout, they're also the only Stott Pilates training center in Michigan, so many of the instructors are also Senior Instructor Trainers, which basically means they REALLY know what they are doing. Having a private session with one of these trainers is not cheap, but you'll get a very high quality workout! Plus if you ever wanted to become a certified Pilates instructor, it's really nice to have a comprehensive training center right here in Oakland County. I've actually been coming here for many years, primarily for instructor training sessions but for classes too, even when I lived really really far away. Yes, it's worth it to drive in from Marshall or North Branch, I've even had classmates who have driven all the way from Toledo. I'm really glad I live a lot closer now!! If you have any interest in Pilates, you will love Equilibrium! read more

I personally think this Pilates studio is the best in Michigan. It has a structured certification program for Pilates instructors that is rigorous, monitored, and has been in place for years. A lot of franchise type studios hire instructors with various backgrounds who may or may not have received excellent training. So, it's kind of hit and miss. Equilibrium has been around since the late nineties when folks didn't even no what Pilates was. There's a reason they're still thriving and doing well. read more

Amy SLOWIK AT Equilibrium is an amazing instructor. She has improved my golf game to an unbelievable degree

Good class and staff is very well educated my complaint is their pricing. It's super confusing like you buy one package for group classes but it only applies to certain teachers and there's multiple levels of teachers and it's very confusing. What happened to buy a membership and going to whatever class you want! read more

I genuinely like ES. I was going because they were the only studio with affordable one-to-one i.e. private Pilates sessions. ES has a genius price structure that includes affordable private Pilates sessions with an apprentice. Sessions with an apprentice are the least expensive and the pricing increases as the instructor's training, experience and etc advances. I was taking lessons with an apprentice and I truly enjoyed the experience. They also have packages that further reduce the price even with the discounted apprentice pricing. It is absolutely amazing and allows everyone to benefit for the wonderful practice of Pilates. Pilates is a great form of exercise that truly works the muscles and stabilizes the core, however, it is often priced outside the budgets of many people that would benefit from the practice. As an educator, I was extremely excited to find an affordable Pilates studio. Unfortunately, my experience didn't last very long as the studio has limited apprentices and my instructor ended up leaving. I was open to switching to another apprentice but there were none available during the days/times I needed. As result, I wasn't able to continue. The studio did graciously call and attempt to accommodate but simply couldn't. I had several future appointments scheduled but they cancelled them and offered to keep me informed once their bandwidth of apprentices increased. Hopefully, one day their services will once again be available to me. read more

This studio has a great environment! I especially enjoyed using all the specialized rooms & equipment!

Equilibrium is a one stop shop for me. I don't need 3 other memberships to get a variety in my workout. Between reformer xtend barre, powermat, total body conditioning and high intensity interval training classes, I get everything I need. And not to mention after 3 months I have seen a change in my body for the better. I'm stronger and feel better. I just love it! The staff and instructors are very welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. And the best part is the new early morning classes offered 5 days a week so now I can workout before work! read more

I took the springboard class with just two other students. I came away with sore upper traps and quads. This is antithetical to the aim of Pilates. The instructor repeatedly reminded us to drop our shoulders and use our butt, which makes me think that the other students were experiencing the same problem. I won't be going back. read more

I just started taking some of the classes here and I love them. I have been doing the Xtend Barre and the HIIT55 classes and they are both such a good workout. I am a runner and thought that I was in decent shape until my first HIIT55 which was an intense amazing workout. Both HIIT and Xtend work muscles that my standard workouts were missing. The facility is clean, the class sizes are small and the instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Equilibrium is the best! Their instructors are highly qualified. You get an amazing workout and the instructors make sure that you're doing the movements correctly. They've been around for a very long time before folks even knew anything about Pilates. They have a sterling reputation and there's a reason why. I tried Pilates at another place in Novi because it's closer to my home. There's no comparison. I quickly left the Novi place and returned to Equilibrium. It's a much longer drive for me but it's worth it. read more
