Pilates is the addition you didn’t know you needed ✨

Strength isn’t just about lifting heavier—it’s about control, precision, and building from the inside out.

Here’s an 🔥 oblique progression from our Pilates instructor Beka—designed to fire up your core, support your spine, and make everything else you do stronger.

Because when your core is actually working…
→ your lifts feel better
→ your posture improves
→ your body moves the way it’s supposed to

This is how we train at Balance—intentional, smart, and built to last.

We’ve been saying this for 17 years… and for those of you who’ve been with us the whole time — the proof is there.

Consistency wins. Every time.

Not the flashy workout.
Not the one “perfect” week.
Not the quick fix.

👉 It’s showing up — again and again.

Here are the facts:
• Consistency beats intensity when it comes to long-term results
• Small, repeated actions create lasting change
• Strength, endurance, and resilience are BUILT over time — not rushed
• The people who stay consistent are the ones who still feel strong years later
• Progress isn’t always visible day to day… but it compounds

We practice what we preach.
We walk the walk.

And if you’ve been here, you already know — this isn’t luck.
It’s years of showing up.

Keep going. That’s the whole game.

Terryann is the ultimate coach — the perfect balance of strength and flow. 💪✨

She knows exactly how to push you to get stronger while making sure your body stays moving, feeling good, and running smoothly. It’s not just about the workout… it’s about longevity, confidence, and showing up better every single day.

“I met Terry Ann in the winter of 2026, and she quickly altered my entire approach and understanding of weight training. Our semi-private sessions are something I look forward to each week. Terry Ann is patient, supportive, incredibly posiitive and her energy is contagious. She really takes her time to explain all of the reasoning behind each exercise, and takes incredible pride in not just providing challenging workouts, but in also educating me on the purpose of each movement, and the potential benefits. She has such an acute understanding of the body, and how all of my moving parts affect one another. After just a few months, I already see a difference in my body, my strength and even my posture. For the first time in my life, I am literally receiving unsolicited compliments on my arms! For anyone looking to dig a little deeper, really challenge themselves, and to truly enhance their workout routine, I would highly recommend meeting with Terry Ann, and learning more about her unique approach to full body strength training.”

Testimonial Tuesday 💬 | Coach Susan

There’s a difference between working out… and truly understanding your body.

Coach Susan has a way of helping you slow down, tune in, and actually learn what your body needs—so you can feel stronger, more energized, and more in control of your health.

“I can’t recommend Susan Brown enough, or to enough people. As a Nurse Practitioner trained in Functional Medicine myself, I am wowed by the depth of Susan’s knowledge. Like most practitioners, she got to this place through the alarming and too common personal experience of not having her and her family’s health needs met by conventional medical people. I’ve attended workshops and cook-a-longs with Susan and also have the great fortune to be able to “talk shop” about Functional Medicine with her informally. While I have a similar training, I found myself learning new things and being happily reminded about and re-inspired by information she shared in her workshops. It makes me want to shout from the rooftops all over again. All health care should be approached this way. It’s become clear to me that, even with a Functional Medicine provider, which I do go to, it is the nutritionists who get into the day-to-day details. Additionally, Susan is really clear and organized in her thinking and is an exceptional teacher.

Do not be fooled. This is different from typical nutritionist services. Susan goes way deeper, and is able to order specialized tests that give her foundational information to make personalized recommendations.

Susan is an ideal person to work with alongside either an Integrative or Functional Medicine provider, or even a conventional one though they will likely not have much understanding of what she’s recommending. If you really want to take your health into your own hands, I highly recommend working with Susan Brown. It’ll be a LOT of new information for folks who are new to Functional Nutrition/Medicine, but I can attest to the quality of her research-based information, and as long as YOU are willing to do what needs to be done to feel better, it’ll be WELL worth your while to work with her.”

This guy. Our guy. Light work. Easy work.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

“Kaheem is like the sun, he shines brightly, warms your day (warning, he might cook you) and pushes you to grow.  His workouts are innovative, never boring and effective, if you like being sore that is!  I love that he listens and is there to help you go after your goals.  Give the man a mission and he’s on it!  My workouts with Kaheem are an essential part of my “Balance Life” and working with him is challenging and as equally important, fun!  I’ve made progress through his guidance and always look forward to seeing what kind of “light work” he is going to send my way.  Side note, in addition to being a master trainer, his massages are unbeatable!  Takes the pains out of the gains!! “ BW

Testimonial Tuesday 💬

Meet Coach Howard + Schuy Nunn.

Consistency. Trust. Results.

I’ve been attending Howard’s Small Group Training sessions for years, and it continues to be one of the most impactful parts of my fitness routine.

Howard shows up prepared every single time with workouts that are not only challenging, but also genuinely fun and engaging. He has an incredible ability to meet you where you are while also pushing you just beyond what you think you’re capable of. Somehow, he always knows when you can go heavier, dig deeper, and rise to the next level.

What truly sets Howard apart, though, is the energy and inspiration he brings into every session. His motivational talks and quotes throughout the workout aren’t just filler they’re powerful, personal, and deeply authentic. As a world record holder, Howard doesn’t just coach resilience he’s lived it. His story, his discipline, and his mindset come through in everything he does, and it elevates the entire experience.

You leave his sessions not only stronger physically, but also more confident, motivated, and grounded mentally.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of his SGT community.

Why do trainers always save core for the end? 🔥

Because your core has already been working the entire workout.

Every squat, lunge, press, and pull demands stability—so by the time you hit that final ab block, your core is already fatigued and primed to work even harder.

🔥That’s where the magic happens: better activation, smarter training, and more efficient results.

Stat to know: Research from the American Council on Exercise shows your core is activated in nearly every major lift—so finishing with targeted core work maximizes both fatigue and effectiveness.

Train smarter. Finish strong.
