I absolutely love the massage services here. Package options are reasonably priced and you can share with your partner in the same household! So great! The staff are friendly and helpful.

This is the best gym I've ever been to. All of the trainers are great. Perfect rotations of strength and conditioning circuits with great feedback on form. Super positive environment.

This is the only gym that I have ever looked forward to come back the next day. Every class is different and fun. The Instructors are supportive, encouraging and always push you to your limits

So glad I found this place! Wow. Peggy's massages are amazing and they really notice where I'm carrying my tension from week to week. Julie, the owner, is responsive. Front desk staff is courteous and helpful. I'm so happy to support a local business and not a chain, and to get great services and products.

Super safe and clean always, but amazingly so during COVID. Female owned! Staffed by the most wonderful group of trainers, massage therapists, yoga teachers and customer service reps. I love that you pay for what you use versus a recurring membership fee you do or don't utilize. An amazing group of people of helped me fall in love with exercise again and successfully hitting my wellness goals. Cannot say enough amazing things.

Some specific shoutouts: Rhiana (so sorry if I spelled your name wrong girl!) is an extremely talented massage therapist especially if you've got tension and knots and prefer a deeper pressure.

My husband and I have a partners private lesson twice a week. Our instructor is skilled at tailoring each day's workout to meet our needs. Use it or lose it, you know! I love this facility. It's pleasant, well-lit, and clean with machines that are in excellent working order. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I would recommend Balance For Life to anyone interested in staying/getting in shape.

First, Balance for Life is a well-run, top notch facility. Julie, the owner, is attentive not only to clients' physical training needs and schedules but also provides a clean, bright, welcoming space for workouts. Second, I've been training with Kandace for the last couple years, and she has done so much for increasing my strength and flexibility, both very important as I age.

I appreciate how she meets meet me "where my body is at" on the days we train and modifies the session to my particular needs on that day. Third, the front desk staff is excellent--always friendly, welcoming, and helpful--in person or on the phone. Coming to BFL is a bright spot in my week!

Balance for Life Fitness truly is a special place. I have been training (Pilates) there for about three years and couldn't be happier. Julie, the owner, is very attentive to clients' needs and accommodations. The facility is extremely well taken care of. The staff are friendly and caring. I work with Kandace, and she is top notch. Each session she tailors the workouts to my needs. In addition she is very caring and fun, too! I highly recommend Balance for Life Fitness. It's great!

Great studio! Every interaction from the front desk to the trainers/instructors has been positive. In my 6 years as a client, I've had the opportunity to work with a personal trainer and have taken countless Pilates reformer & mat classes; all leave me feeling strong and happy. If you're looking for a fitness studio with trainers/instructors that are respectful and motivating, try BFL.

Love this gym! The group classes are small ( often only 6) challenging and motivating, with personal attention to form. It's a relief to find classes with the music at a low volume so the instructors aren't shouting over it. Personal training with Nikki has been varied and interesting, haven't tried Pilates, but they have a huge array of reformer machines.

I have been going to Balance for Life for over 10 years. I have done group classes, individuals and duos. I cannot say enough about the instructors and their knowledge. Kandance has been my primary instructor for over fours years. I had scoliosis surgery in 2014 and she prepared me for the surgery and now prepares me to handle every day life. She truly challenges me but understands my limitations.

I get a good strong work out. Julie (the owner) works hard to maintain the best group of instructors, operates the facility as a business with a very personal touch! Balance for life has improved my health! Peggy Schmidt

Balance For Life Fittness Center places their clients first! Their highly skilled trainers help you to set goals and then achieve them. If you have any special medical concerns they tailor a plan to fit your needs. The massages I've had there are the best I've ever had. The facility is always clean, the staff friendly and efficient and the personalized attention you receive can't be topped! Staying strong and healthy helps maintain quality of life and helping you achieve that goal is one of their top concerns for all their clients. I highly recommend BFL as one of the best training facilities in the metro area!
