I've been going here 2-4 times a week since last October. I have major gym anxiety, and I've been very comfortable here with the small classes and remarkably inclusive instructors (shout out to Jennifer and Jairo). My only hesitation is that it's a boutique style setting, and classes are expensive. They don't offer classic unlimited memberships - I wish they did! Overall, I really love the place, and hope you'll give them a try. There's something for everyone at every fitness level and with every possible physical challenge including injuries, age-related concerns, and mobility limitations. Thanks BFL!

Reviews
Strongly recommend! I've been coming here for 15 years due to the consistently excellent support I receive for my health. Julie has an outstanding team of professionals who bring knowledge, attention, and encouragement to all kinds of clients in a friendly, inclusive, and clean space.
Amanda is an almost magically talented massage therapist who has by far the best understanding of trigger points I've experienced in decades of seeking help for different back issues. It's a fairly long drive for me to get to Balance for Life and it's not on the way to anything else that I visit, but I've made a habit of coming here just for the massage therapy.

I’ve been a regular at Balance for Life for two years and can’t say enough about the experience. At almost 80 years old, I’m in the best shape of my life and really enjoy the classes, the instructors and the camaraderie of the shared experience. The studio is welcoming and supportive, lots of positive energy and smiles. I highly recommend Balance for Life for everyone!
