Chinese medicine is amazing, but not many practitioner like Dr. Phua willing to share all his knowledge and experiences to others, it's such a honer to know a good practitioner and teacher like him. Dr Phua is also a very kind and generous person, it's lucky to be his patients.

Tom McCook and his instructors are the most qualified in the Bay Area. Tom is the instructor for instructors and after 25 years of experience, he brings a wealth of experience. He has helped my daughter who is a national team U17 soccer player strengthen her knee and ankles healing an jury the would have kept her off of the pitch for a year. He is the real deal.

I have been going to Center of Balance twice a week since 2005. I was involved in a serious auto accident (head on collision) and had injuries that effected many aspects of my everyday life, including walking, balance and well being. I paid for 5 privates at 5 different studios before choosing Center of Balance. The staff here understood my issues and worked from there. The staff are highly trained, wonderful and always have a positive attitude. They can consistently modify exercises for me and I am now able to do far more than when I started. I can recommend the studio without reservation. The front desk is exceptional; Bridget is warm, friendly and all around lovely.

Center of Balance is a real resource for health and well-being in Silicon Valley. The atmosphere (vibe) is serene and relaxed and the matt classes are great. Tom McCook is a bona fide master of Pilates and the Franklin Method and a great teacher of both, having worked and taught in this field for more than 25 years. This place is the gold standard. Check it out.

I always come out of here feeling better. More relaxed. More in tune with my body. I feel like I even got a workout (and being an endurance runner I have high expectations from a workout). The staff and instructors are amazing, kind, informative and really there for you. I really need to find the time to go more often.

This is an amazing studio!! I come here for private sessions with my trainer Matthew Ryan Carney. They have an extensive selection of equipment and it's really clean and beautiful. Don't get scared off by the crazy looking Pilates reformers -- I was definitely intimidated at first but you will get an extremely targeted and effective workout. Not going to lie, when I first saw a reformer it looked like a medieval torture device or something from 50 Shades of Grey....it's actually great Pilates workout :)! My training with Matthew has helped me recover from a hip flexor injury and has also improved my core, balance, and flexibility. Sometimes you won't feel sore until the next day -- after a recent workout I was feeling pretty good that day but when I woke up the next morning I couldn't laugh without my abs burning! Hopefully I'll get that 6-pack soon! :) I highly recommend training with Matthew if you are looking to sculpt and tone, if you are trying to recover from an injury, or just improve your overall fitness. He one of the most awesome instructors and will give you a unique workout tailored to your needs! I love that our workouts progress each time and it's not just the same class or movements over and over. Each workout is fun yet challenging and he is good at motivating lazy and whiny clients (like me !) I really love the convenient location (right off of 101 at the Shoreline exit). My boyfriend goes to workout at Google on the weekends, so I just ask him to drop me off at Center of Balance down the street. There is always lots of parking unlike at some other studios. Note: The studio also has a cute sitting area and cubbies for your shoes & purses!
