		&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Pilates Reformer is a wonderful piece of equipment invented by Joseph Pilates himself.  The Reformer supports and stabilizes the torso to allow isolation of specific muscle groups while improving core strength.   We use a wide variety of exercises with interesting names like "Mermaid" (shown above), "Elephant and Pyramid", "In the boat", "Scooter and Lunge" and "Hundreds".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

				&lt;div class="article-summary"&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can find lots of reviews for Balanced-Concepts on Yelp.  Note that Yelp  filters out most of them so you'll need to click on the link that says (35 filtered) just below the review.  Then you'll be able to read all the other 35 reviews.  You will need to type in a "Captcha" to prove you're human. Then click on the "Read Reviews" button.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just to make you're life a little easier, we included some of the reviews on this page.  If you want to see these reviews on Yelp, just use the &lt;a href="#" target="_blank"&gt;Balanced Concepts Yelp Reviews&lt;/a&gt; link.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="review_comment ieSucks"&gt;Don't forget - this is just the first page of our Yelp Reviews.  Follow the link to &lt;a href="#" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Balanced Concepts Yelp Reviews&lt;/a&gt; to see 3 more pages of reviews.  Remember, you'll need to type in a "Captcha" code.  While that's annoying, the internet just uses it to make sure you are a human and not a computer robot.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="review_comment ieSucks"&gt;Feel free to write your own review or check-in next time you're at the studio.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=P5n_uAO6IWj8MnyggCtPLg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul class="user-stats"&gt;&lt;li class="is-elite"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=P5n_uAO6IWj8MnyggCtPLg"&gt;Coco P.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="reviewer_info"&gt;Burbank, CA
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;8/9/2011
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="review_comment ieSucks"&gt;Hana and Lisa have been helping me recover from a badly herniated disc. In the 6 months that I have been going they have stitched me back together and made me stronger. My acupuncturist has remarked about how much stronger I am now and that I've gotten myself to a place where my injury is minimized as far as it could be.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
