Turbosonic is a whole body vibration device that replicates natural vertical vibration. It improves slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers by increasing production of human growth hormones, which increases muscle endurance and strength.

Welcome to Body Balance Institute and congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier you! Whether you are looking to do privates, semi-privates or group classes, please take a moment to review the information below. We look forward to meeting you!
1. Create a MINDBODY account
The first step is to create your personal MINDBODY login. An online account will allow you to view your schedule, make payments, sign-up for classes, update contact information, review your history and so much more!
2. Schedule Your Initial Consultation
To schedule, please call 904.223.4079 or e-mail [email protected].
3. Complete our Client Intake Form
For your convenience, please print and complete the Client Intake form prior to your first session. If you don’t have access to a printer you may complete one out at the studio; please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
We encourage all of our new students to establish a strong foundation prior to moving into duets or group classes. Once you have completed your Initial Consultation, we recommend taking a minimum of 3 additional private sessions. The personal attention provided during private sessions is extremely valuable and we understand that. That is why we designed an “Introductory Package” specifically for new clients at a special rate! These sessions will help you become more familiar with our instructors, teaching styles, basic exercise, cueing, the equipment and your body. After your 3rd session, we may recommend additional private appointments or will suggest some classes that may be beneficial for you.
Scheduling a Recurring Appointment
A recurring appointment is an appointment that happens every week at the same time with the same instructor. If you need to cancel any of your appointments, simply e-mail us 24-hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Please note; in order to accommodate other clients and honor our instructors’ time, we allow two consecutive cancellations; after which we reserve the right to open the appointment to others. Recurring appointments are a great way to make your health a priority and ensure you won’t have to wait for an appointment to become available. Please take advantage of this service by contacting the studio to schedule!
Class Participants
To attend an Equipment Pilates class, students with no or limited experience must complete a minimum of 3 private sessions and receive instructor approval. New students with equipment Pilates experience must contact the studio for approval. Once approved to take classes, simply register and pay online via MINDBODY. Non-equipment class participants do not need prior approval.
Classes fill quickly… please add yourself to the waitlist, it does clear and you will receive a notification as soon as you are added to the class!

Olivia was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale and moved to Ponte Vedra Beach in early 2019. Olivia studied dance from the age of 5 until 18.

Olivia discovered her love for Pilates and Yoga in her early teen years and has been practicing as much as she can ever since!
