ABOUT US: Body Balance is the creation of Sandi Knox & Sheldon Gephter. They had a vision of a place where people could come and workout, feel that they belonged, not judged on their appearance, age, fitness level, etc. Body Balance was to be a "friendly" atmosphere and a place you could call your own. A place where you walk through the door and everyone knows your name like "cheers" :) After a year of renos (as the building was a Chicken Delight) Body Balance opened its doors in 2008. It started with 1 instructor teaching 2 classes a week to 15 participants. In 3 years, has grown to 15 instructors teaching 15 or more classes a week to over 300 participants. Body Balance also has many Corporate contracts whereby instructors go into businesses and teach various classes.
Along with amazing, educated, experienced instructors, Body Balance prides itself on being "real" & having something to offer "everyone"!
Body Balance also gives back to the Community by volunteering at various Events each year...
