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!
