InsideOut Body Therapies

I've been going to InsideOut for nearly a year. Pilates was recommended to me to help rehabilitate a back injury involving discs. I've taken mat classes, equipment classes, private sessions, Nia dance, and acupuncture there. IOBT is a fantastic studio. The instructors are very diligent about your safety and technique/form. They are also supportive and make the classes fun. Don?t get me wrong?you must work hard. The equipment is top-notch. Even the mats are extra thick and durable to protect your spine during rolling exercises (an especially nice touch for me, given my injury). Acupuncture is held in the treatment area, a grouping of rooms that's quiet, private, and comfortable. On occasion I have taken a class or two at other studios, whether on vacation or trying out something new. Nowhere else have I received the superb attentiveness or felt as secure that I wouldn't hurt myself as at IOBT. more

Inside Out is an amazing studio that practices classical Pilates, allowing you to have a deep and challenging work out without getting flustered or injured by moving in an unsafe manner. I have been attending mat classes at IOBT for 6 months and I'm addicted. I live in Raleigh and haven't been able to find a studio that gives me such a good work out - body and mind. Every time I leave IOBT I'm in a GREAT mood and my body is so happy. I can tell that along with making my muscles stronger and leaner, my classes at IOBT improve my mood and posture. The staff teaches in a way that allows you to focus on the way Pilates can affect your body, not on the way the rest of the class is moving. IOBT also offers a range of classes, unlike other studios which may offer ""all levels"" classes, IOBT focuses on where YOU are in the process, really teaching you how to correctly flow through the exercises and get the most out of your workout. I highly recommend IOBT!! :) more

I have done mat work since the 1970s, never having access to a studio or at least one that practiced some form of classic Pilates. IOBT is a rare treat! For more than a year, I have been driving 40 minutes each way from North Raleigh (often in rush-hour traffic) to partake of IOBT's Pilates classes. The instructors are the best--encouraging and supportive but never ultra-critical and negative. They see everything and help you to improve--even if you are a totally self-conscious soul who fears any group-exercise class. My balance and flexibility have drastically improved, and the changes in my body are obvious. I can see how the equipment work and the mat work correlate. When someone asked why do you go so far, I tell them that it's worth it. InsideOut is one of the most positive places I have encountered. I would recommend it to everyone! more

I have been a client of InsideOut for years, seeing Toby for rolfing and taking yoga with Mike and tai chi classes with Jude. I feel more at ease in my body and rarely have a single ache or pain. I feel better now than I ever did in my twenties or thirties! Who knew growing older did not have to mean slowing down and hurting?! I feel lucky to have found such a complete facility so close to home. Pros: wide range of services and professional staff more

InsideOut is an amazing studio with numerous services including Pilates, Rolfing, Pilates-based PT, Yoga, Massage, Acupuncture, and much more! The studio has grown so much since I have been going there (almost 5 years ago!) but they are still able to maintain a friendly, warm, caring atmosphere. I am always greeted by name and feel welcome each time I walk in the door. Not only are the practitioners wonderful people, but they are also the most knowledgeable and highly trained in the area and possibly the state! Durham is lucky to have InsideOut in our community! Pros: Highly trained practitioners, great atmosphere! Cons: None! more

The staff is extremely professional and very caring. Beautiful facility, they always make me feel at home. I recommend for pilates, yoga, massage and rolfing! Pros: Great Pilates, fantastic services Cons: Can't get there often enough more

I started taking classes at InsideOut 4 years ago. It was my first experience w/ Pilates, and I fell in love w/ it! I started w/ mat classes and then began taking equipment classes & private lessons. The staff's knowledge is unparalleled in the area. This studio also offers a training program licensed by The Pilates Center in Boulder, CO in which you can train to become a Pilates instructor. They recently expanded to a new space in Sutton Station which is open & airy & provides a wonderful ambience. In addition to Pilates, they offer Rolfing, Yoga, Tai Chi, Massage, Physical Therapy, Acupunture, Gyrotonic & Gyrokinesis. I'll never go anywhere else. Pros: parking, convenient location more

This studio is amazing and the instructors are the cream of the crop, especially Deborah and Toby Matthews! I have been going to Inside Out for pilates for years and refuse to go anywhere else. more

I started doing Pilates by video. That was great but my dedication lacked. My schedule is busy so my excuses were easier to find than work-out time. So I sucked it up and searched for a studio. I saw InsideOut and their prices and realized I didn't have to work hard at paying off quality instruction. They work you to the core but provide a relaxing and educational environment. Now i have muscles I didn't know existed and my love handles have finally fallen off! ~ Pros: Individual assistance more

Rather than join a gym to access their yoga and pilates classes, I shopped around and decided to purchase a block of floor classes at InsideOut. I was just getting back into a fitness regimen and didn't want to be enrolled in large classes with people who were just dabbling. The classes are capped at 8 students, and for the price you get a really intense workout. Some classes that I would love to take are only offered during hours when I am at work, however there are enough items on the schedule to find something else to take. Pros: Great decor, Ample parking, Knowledgeable staff Cons: Minor sched. probs. more

I've been going to InsideOut Body Therapies for about 18 months and can certainly feel my body getting stronger every class I take. The instructors don't let us stagnate. We are free to take it easy if that is what we need to do during any particular class, yet we can go the distance if that is how we feel as well. Deborah Matthews is a master at this and really makes sure you know how to do the exercise correctly. This is the most fun and most work I have done in a long time. Highly recommended. Pros: Knowledgeable, Friendly, Individual attention more
