I've been enjoying the workout at InsideOut since the beginning of my pregnancy. Jessica is a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor. She is very attentive to each student's condition and always provides appropriate, clear instructions. My body really has benefited tremendously from Pilates throughout the pregnancy. The studio is clean, organized and filled with great energy. The staff is also always very responsive and helpful. I'm hoping that I can return to classes not too long after the baby arrives.

I am bias because I do work here a few hours a week, but I started as a client and continue as a client. Fabulous instructors and acupuncturists. Quality equipment and the instructors take continuing education seriously. Because there are PT staff in the studio and a Teacher Training Program, special topics are often covered. Having instructors that can collaborate with the PTs in house to provide continuous care post-PT really delivers fantastic results.

I have been going to InsideOut for ten plus years. I have yet to find a studio that can match or surpass their level of attention, expertise and friendliness. The instructors and equipment is top notch and the space is beautiful and in a great location. I have taken equipment and mat pilates as well as TRX and worked with their acupuncturist and physical therapist. They are a well rounded studio that I cannot recommend enough. If you've never done these type of exercises, they are a great place to start and if you've been doing it for years, they can keep you challenged.

InsideOut Body Therapies is not only the best rehabilitation center in Durham, I consider it to be the best in the Triangle and one of the top places to rehab in the country. Their Pilates-Based Physical Therapy Program is second to none. As a Certified Rolfer dealing with many clients suffering from acute and chronic pain, I feel confident in referring even the most fragile people to IOBT. I have been doing Pilates since the early 90's and their approach is top-notch: classical, authentic, and innovative.
Many of the instructors were trained at The Pilates Center in Boulder and most are PMA-certified. The instructors are caring and attentive; the classes and private instruction are challenging and fun; and the atmosphere is calm and nonjudgmental. Full Disclosure: One of the owners, Deborah Matthews, is my wife. I honestly consider her to be a rehabilitation genius and could not admire her skill and compassion more.
