✨ Feel strong. Stay energized. Move with purpose.

At Balance, we focus on what helps people feel and function at their best.

Everything we offer—from training and massage to yoga—is designed to support your strength, energy, and mobility.

💪 STRENGTH
We offer one-on-one training that’s built around your goals. Whether you’re getting started or looking to fine-tune your routine, we’re here to help with structure, support, and accountability. You’ll learn proper form, figure out which exercises make sense for your body, and build strength in a way that feels clear and doable. We bet you will even have some fun doing it!

💆 ENERGY
Recovery makes a real difference in how you feel and how your body responds to everything else you’re doing. Thai massage is a great way to release tension, improve circulation, and bring things back into balance. We also offer other massage therapies, plus Myodetox treatments with José. You can check out our website for a full list of options.

🧘 MOVEMENT
Consistent movement supports strength, focus, and the way your body feels overall. Kundalini yoga is one of the ways we help people reconnect with breath and awareness, but it’s not the only option. We also offer tai chi, qi gong, private yoga sessions, and pole fitness. There’s a full list on the website if you want to explore.

This is Balance. A welcoming space where you can train, recover, and move with expert support.

🛠️ Every transformation starts with possibility — the chance to create something stronger, better, and new.

🙊 Our space began with piles of debris, clashing walls, broken fixtures, exposed wires, and stains and smells best forgotten.

💪🏻 Change — in a space, a body, a life — takes desire, hard work, and belief in something better.

✨ Every effort builds on the last, and it’s how desire becomes real results.

🧱 Reach out when you’re ready. We can’t wait to help you build something incredible!

🏋🏼‍♀️ Strong bodies start with better movement.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) uses short, repeated stretches to lengthen muscles, relieve tightness, and boost circulation.

It helps improve flexibility, restore range of motion, and speed up recovery.

At Balance, we can incorporate AIS into many of our personal training sessions—it’s a key part of how our trainers help clients stay limber, strong, and injury-free.

👉 Craving more stretch time? AIS is also available as a standalone dedicated stretch session!

🎨 EMBRACING OUR DIFFERENCES at BALANCE 🖼️

🌺 We love this piece, “Cultivation”, and the message it conveys, from our Embracing Our Differences giclee collection.

It seems particularly significant this month of love and thoughts of Valentines! Winner of “2022 Best In Show - Adult” and created by artist, Samantha Miller of Sarasota, FL.

🕊️ “The way you think can change how you act; the way you act can change how others think.” - Yasser Mecate, San Juan, Philippines

💐 Artist Statement: “Just like plants, we grow as a person depending on what we feed ourselves. If we continually live in the negativity of hate, jealousy, and resentment then we will fail to bloom as a person. By feeding ourselves positive attributes we can grow and help others as well.

For this piece I was inspired by my own little home garden, and what it needed to be healthy. If we continue to build each other up, we can create a healthy and thriving community.” - Samantha Miller, Sarasota, FL.

😍 Come by to see this beautiful work in person. Each giclée is available for purchase with all proceeds to the Embracing Our Differences non-profit.

WHO WE ARE - LET’S GET TO KNOW PERSONAL TRAINER, MADISON BARNES!

Hometown: Des Moines, IA

🔵 How would your clients describe you or your sessions?
My clients would describe my sessions as fun, educational, and challenging. I love to educate my clients on the WHY!

🔵 What is your favorite hobby?
It’s hard to answer with just one! I love to read, dance, and watch football!

🔵 What qualities do you think make a quality personal trainer?
I think one of the best traits of a great trainer is someone with the heart of a teacher. We all want to help people but how do you go about helping someone? Everybody goes through so much in their day-to-day life, that it’s important to give people grace and hold them accountable, when necessary. I also believe it’s so important to teach clients how to do the things we do in session, so they feel confident going into the gym between sessions.

🔵 What do you do for your fitness?
For my training, I love lifting weights, doing yoga, and going on walks. It’s so important to do the things you love instead of forcing yourself to do something you dislike. I have made so much more progress by doing what I love and it makes it more sustainable!

🔵 What do you listen to while exercising, if anything?
I am a big podcast person so I listen to New Heights, Dave Ramsey, or any true crime podcasts!

🔵 Are there essential exercises you recommend?
To me, it’s not as much about the exercise but the movement pattern. It is so important to train for life, so, I make sure my clients always have a hinge, squat, push, pull, reach, carry, and rotating movement in their workouts. Movement needs to be functional!

🔵 Your motto, or something you often say to encourage people?
My motto is Act or Accept. You have 2 choices in every single thing you do and it is up to YOU how you live your life!

We are so excited to welcome Madison to our team! Follow her at
