Their story of success continues to inspire and motivate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/business\/biz-columns-blogs\/cathie-anderson\/article151451117.html\">Balanced Body founder Ken Endelman kept saying no to custom equipment requests<\/a> right up until he became the world\u2019s largest supplier of Pilates equipment to studios and for private use. The story about the California native, who grew up just outside of Los Angeles and now lives in Sacramento, credits a life-long interest in working with his hands for the company\u2019s current success.<\/p>\n<h2>From Waterbeds to Reformers<\/h2>\n<p>Endelman was building frames for a waterbed company in the mid-\u201870s that was on its way down when a customer first asked him to create a Pilates reformer for her personal practice. He agreed, without giving it much thought.<\/p>\n<p>After finally taking a look\u00a0at the apparatus he\u2019d agreed to reproduce, which he&#8217;d put off as long as he could, he saw plenty of room for improvement, and the enterprise that began as a series of one-at-a-time orders for custom equipment today sits leads the pack of manufacturers of professional Pilates machines.<\/p>\n<h2>Built to Last A Lifetime<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cQghFTLA0lw\">Balanced Body equipment reflects the founder\u2019s reputation as a builder of fine furniture<\/a>, from the doweled joinery of the reformer to the rock maple,\u00a0one of the hardest woods available,\u00a0used for the frame. The glued dowel joinery keeps the frames perfectly aligned for a lifetime of hard, everyday use.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cQghFTLA0lw\">Watch How Balanced Body Reformers Come To Life<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yourpilateslifestyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balanced-body-video-2017-06-14-at-3.43.40-PM.png?resize=625%2C420\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yourpilateslifestyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balanced-body-video-2017-06-14-at-3.43.40-PM.png?w=951&amp;ssl=1 951w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yourpilateslifestyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balanced-body-video-2017-06-14-at-3.43.40-PM.png?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yourpilateslifestyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balanced-body-video-2017-06-14-at-3.43.40-PM.png?resize=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/yourpilateslifestyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/balanced-body-video-2017-06-14-at-3.43.40-PM.png?resize=446%2C300&amp;ssl=1 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cQghFTLA0lw\">Attention to detail and nearly indestructible construction<\/a> are the hallmarks of Balanced Body&#8217;s professional line of Pilates apparatus.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the nearly five decades the company\u2019s been in business, Engelman has accumulated 28 separate patents for Balanced Body Pilates equipment, including the Revo Springbar reformer adjuster that maintains constant spring tension for the carriage in various seating configurations.
