MOTR® and Midtown Athletic Clubs
MOTR® is a key player in the company’s drive to build the best club in North America

Midtown began as a single tennis club in Chicago in 1970 and has since grown to
comprise 8 high-end facilities: four in the Chicago area and four others in Atlanta,
Montreal, Rochester, New York, and Weston, Florida. Recently the original club in Chicago
has undergone a refurbishing. The goal, according to Richard Earney, Midtown’s National
Program Director, is to create one of the greatest clubs in North America, with state-of-
the-art facilities and captivating programming.
Part of that captivating
programming?
MOTR from Balanced Body. MOTR (MOre

of a foam roller with the challenge of
three weight level resistances, giving
clubs a challenging and diverse workout
tool. Exercise categories include cardio,
balance, functional training, mind-body,
agility, strength training and more – all
in an economic 43” cylinder. In addition,
many Reformer exercises can be
simulated on MOTR.

 What is a Reformer?
And what makes Balanced Body® Reformers different?
The most popular and versatile piece of Pilates equipment, the Reformer opens the door
to hundreds of strengthening and stretching exercises. Add in variations on Joseph Pilates’
original exercises, and the Reformer is limitless in its possibilities.

 Keeping it Green at Balanced Body®
At Balanced Body, we want to leave this planet in better shape than we found it.

All Balanced Body woods come from FSC (Forest

Stewardship Council) suppliers who purchase wood
from well-managed North American forests. In
these forests, tree growth exceeds removals by a
nearly 2-to-1 margin.

From choosing only sustainably harvested lumber

for our wood products to using recyclable shipping
containers and packing materials, we are constantly
improving our efforts to conduct business in
environmentally-friendly ways.

We are headquartered in a “green” building in

Sacramento. It’s a 100,000 sq. foot building that
houses our office space and manufacturing facility.
The building features 1,000 solar panels, as well as
skylights, climate-controlled fans, dust collection
systems and a foam roof. You can even see how
much energy-saving solar power we generate on

 The Finishing Touch:
Wood Choices
Wood choices
Strong, beautiful, environmentally sensitive. No compromises.
Balanced Body® wood is beautiful, inviting to the touch, absorbs
noise and is built to last a lifetime. Our woods and construction
methods are time-tested for 40 years, giving us the seasoned
confidence to offer—and stand behind—our Lifetime Warranty.
We offer two standard wood choices, Strata® Rock Maple and
Strata® Artisan Maple. Strata’s superb strength and durability
come from its solid, multi-grained core, laminated in alternating
grain directions. This creates an exceptionally strong, straight
board, neutralizing the forces that could otherwise cause
twisting. The result is an unusually strong, sturdy wood—ideal
for Reformer frames—with a distinctive “butcher block” look.
The Strata engineering process also uses more of the tree with
very little waste, making it not only stronger than single-plank
wood, but more environmentally sensitive.
All Balanced Body woods come from FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council) suppliers who purchase wood from well-managed North
American forests. In these forests, tree growth exceeds removals
by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

A. Strata® Rock Maple

Standard for Balanced Body Reformers, Rock Maple is one
reason our equipment lasts practically forever. Rock Maple has
a hardness rating unmatched by beech, oak and pine, and also
a tighter, more consistent grain. You get a superior frame:
»» Better resistance to expansion and contraction from changes
in temperature and humidity.
»» Better durability against dents and wear.
»» Joints remain strong.
»» Bolts remain tight in the solid wood.

B. Strata® Artisan Maple

Strata Artisan Maple is also durable and even more eco-friendly
because it uses still more of the tree. A artful alternative to
the more uniform grain and color of Strata Rock Maple, it is
available at no additional cost. You will notice more natural
color, character and pronounced grain detail.

Balanced Body Select Strata®

We also offer Balanced Body Select Strata in Cherry (shown at
A. B.
right), Mahogany, and Walnut, for an additional cost

All Balanced Body woods are complemented by a smooth,

lustrous finish that brings out the beauty of the natural grain
and protects the wood. Our wood Reformers and Trapeze Tables
are backed by the Balanced Body Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The world’s first four point suspension system for fitness!

Bodhi is Sanskrit for “awaken”. The Bodhi Suspension System® helps you awaken the
potential in your body and your mind.
Developed by Khita Whyatt and Kirsten Sell, the Bodhi Suspension System includes two independent ropes which create four
suspension points. You get endless opportunities to suspend the body from each point, and each point choice adds strength,
flexibility, balance and proprioceptive challenges.
No other single suspension system can do this.
Suitable and adaptable for all populations, the Bodhi Suspension System is perfect for group exercise, semi-private and private
sessions, post-rehab sessions and home use. Options include attachment anchors for a wall, ceiling or door.

 SCI Recovery: Going Float-less
Learning to stand, snorkel, and reclaim a sense of self — By Theo St. Francis, theovercoming.org
Editor’s Note: In our last catalog we featured Theo as he began using Pilates and mindful movement to recover from an
SCI injury. Since then he has made dramatic progress so we thought we would check back in with him a year later.

What would it feel like to be able to just jump – and start flying? Well, I don’t know, and the birds won’t say, but I’ll bet the
experience would be indescribable, and ‘indescribable’ is something I know.
When your body has been partially paralyzed for almost three years, you forget what some things feel like. That’s how our plastic,
use-it-or-lose-it brains work; the subconscious patterns of walking and standing, of dancing without thinking, don’t get reinforced
when the muscular connection isn’t present. This is part of the overwhelming feeling of loss that accompanies a paralyzing injury
to the spinal cord (SCI) because, in some ways, one’s very sense of self fades with the loss of those patterns. When the physical
manner by which you relate to the world is changed, its emotional nature is as well.

Anatomy + Movement™ Skeleton – new this year!
Calling all students and anatomy nerds...
Born of many years teaching our Anatomy in Three Dimensions™ courses, Balanced Body®
has deeply explored compelling ways to teach musculoskeletal anatomy. Building muscles
in clay on a specially-designed skeleton is effective, engaging and fun.
For those who prefer personal exploration, or who teach anatomy in other settings, we are excited to introduce our new Anatomy +
Movement™ products for your own use.
No contract or licensing is required, and photography of the Anatomy + Movement Skeleton is freely allowed.

Accurate, beautiful, detailed

»» Anatomically correct and more detailed than others available
at this price. Similarly detailed skeletons cost twice as much.
»» One side shows major tendons and ligaments.
»» It is custom-designed specifically for the purpose of teaching
anatomy through the use of clay. Not an artist’s interpreta-
tion, the beautiful design comes from scans of actual bones.
»» Designed in the USA.

Easy to use, removable parts

»» Arms and legs show a variety of positions to facilitate a clear
understanding of how muscles change length and position
with movement.
»» Arms detach easily via magnets at the shoulder, making
them easy to build and attach.
»» Skull removes to allow for building.
