Center of Balance Fosters Toxic Atmosphere Beware of the Center of Balance in Mountain View, California - it's not the peaceful sanctuary it claims to be. During a Pilates class, I was appalled to hear one of the instructors, Susi Strigl, make shockingly sexist and racist remarks. According to her, "the problem is because of boys. Wherever there are boys, there are problems." This kind of toxic attitude has no place in any professional setting, especially not in a wellness center. Despite promptly terminating my membership, the response from owner Tom McCook and Karen deMoor was lackluster, asking me to continue paying for services despite the blatant misandry present within their establishment. Susi Strigl may have an impressive background, but her behavior is unacceptable. No one should have to endure discrimination and hostility during a workout session. If you're okay with condoning sexism and discrimination against men, then this might be the place for you. But if you value inclusivity, respect, and professionalism, steer clear of the Center of Balance. In summary, this establishment has failed to uphold basic standards of decency and professionalism. It's my hope that they take swift action to address these issues and create a more welcoming environment for all customers. Until then, I cannot in good conscience recommend their services to anyone seeking a truly inclusive and respectful fitness experience.
I see Vicki for massage, she is nice and has literally become a friend when i come in that I feel comfortable talking too. She is great at massage and I look forward to every appointment I make with her. Thanks Vicki for being you and making my aching bones not ache . Karen
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.
