I'm so thankful I found Genea and her business Balanced Health & Fitness. She has been a major help…read morein improving the quality of my life and overall health over the last couple years. I originally started going to Balanced Health & Fitness to seek help for digestive issues as well as food sensitivities, allergies, eczema, inflammation, etc. I immediately started coming in for weekly detox foot baths and was surprised to learn about all the icky build up that accumulates in our bodies over time. It was interesting to see the toxins at the end of your bath, and see exactly what each of the different colors mean. Soon I started infrared sauna sessions as another form of detox alternating between the foot baths. I am glad I did - the sauna is so relaxing! After taking a shower, I feel like a renewed version of myself. The hair analysis test has been a major help as well. Through understanding what minerals I was deficient in/ had excess of, I was able to change my diet and take vitamins and minerals better suited for my body's needs. I can happily say I no longer experience any of the digestive symptoms I had originally sought help for. During our 2 years coming here, the owner, Genea, has always been very professional and knowledgeable about a variety of subjects pertaining to well being. I highly recommend Balanced Health & Fitness!

It does not get boring because she always changes it up. She prepares the machines for you. puts the equipment in place for you, so you an get right to it instead of fumbling around with the weights on a machine. That way the workout gets even more effective. I love it and hope she stays there forever!!!

She knows so much about bodies and how best to make them work, train, exercise, slim down or else, that she becomes necessary for your health, both of body and mind. I exercised for a whole year with Sunita and ended up at the wharf to wharf race, a first in my lazy life! I still remember that experience, unique... I was totally into prepping for any and all the next races, but instead was pleasantly surprised by my pregnancy. Sunita helped me through a very uncomfortable 8 months by guiding me and or encouraging me to do the right exercise for my body in my condition, helping me get stronger and stronger for when labor came. Years have passed, and I know I owe Sunita being strong and fit for the hard work of delivering a baby. I learned to trust my body because she taught me how to move, stretch, push it to the edge and cultivate it. I recommend her studio to everyone, old and young, pregnant in particular, because she will be step by step helping you achieve your goals.

After three months of consistent workouts, my posture improved and I was 100% pain-free. At 51, I am building muscle, and I look and feel better than I did in my 30s. Rocky and his team are fun and friendly and so incredibly knowledgeable about muscle mechanics and movement. They create interesting, different workouts each day and will modify anything to suit your specific need and help you reach your goals. The environment is 100% supportive, and in the group classes, everyone works to their own edge while supporting each other along the way. I read a quote recently that said something along the lines of "how you spend your 50s will inform how you spend your 60s and 70s." RFC is absolutely the best investment you can make in your health. Highly, highly recommend.

I met Doug Barsanti owner of ReInvention Fitness via Toadal Fitness over a year ago. He was…read moreassigned to me when I first joined the gym to provide 3 complimentary training sessions. I was in a critical point in my life. I had recently lost about 40lbs and was starting to gain some back. I really wanted to start running again as I had not done so in too many years to mention. I decided to make an investment in myself by signing up for personal training sessions with him. I've been seeing him consistently since September 2010 and thanks to him I just completed the Nike Women's Half Marathon. The training we did focused on strength, endurance and agility. Throughout my training Doug was aware of a prior knee injury and always kept that at the forefront of our training. He has also worked with me on nutrition and to some degree on raising my self esteem around body image issues - because yes our bodies do change once we reach 40!

I was still in physical therapy at Dominican and Doug coordinated my workouts with my P.T., which gave me a very consistent training regime.

He makes you feel comfortable and at the same time maintains a very professional approach to training. I would definitely recommend Doug as your next trainer. You won't be disappointed.
