About our founder, Hope Pedraza

Hope Pedraza is a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor of 20 years, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Reiki Practitioner and Human Design Guide. Her 20+ years of dance experience led her into the Pilates and fitness space 20 years ago where she worked to achieve multiple certifications in Pilates, group fitness, barre, cycling, sports medicine, and more.

She created inBalance in 2012 to give people an opportunity to love movement as much as she does, and provide them options for classes that they will find nowhere else in town.

She wanted to create a space to inspire people to nurture their body and their soul, and to provide a sense of belonging and community with students. Classes at inBalance rely on a variety of proven methods that take students out of their comfort zone, and follow what she calls the 5 Pillars of Sustainable and Functional Fitness: balance, strength, mobility, flexibility and endurance.

The method she created works to strengthen the body and improve flexibility by developing a balance that utilizes a fun and focused approach to movement, and all of this is done with top-notch, expertly trained instructors.

inBalance isn’t here to create a fad dedicated to fitness. We aim to create a lifestyle that demonstrates a love of movement and TOTAL wellness and prides itself on connecting the mind, body, and spirit for wholeness.

She serves as the lead Functional Practitioner at inBalance (as an FDN-P) where she helps people get to the root cause of chronic symptoms and create balance in the body with functional labs, Human Design, hypnotherapy and energy medicine.

Hope has spoken on national stages, over a hundred podcasts, and hosts her own podcast dedicated to wellness and wholeness, called Hopeful and Wholesome.

The inBalance Team

With combined thousands of hours of training and over 75 years of experience, our instructors come from dance, fitness and physical therapy backgrounds and are the best of the best! We don’t slack on talent around here, and you will see the difference when you jump into one of our classes. We’ve designed every class with you in mind. And we’re here to help lead you to MOVE WITH PURPOSE.
