I look forward to my yoga classes every week at Balans Studio. The class size is small so you really get personal attention. Many people also like that there are other training options available such as Barre, TRX and Pilates. I like that fact that it is a studio rather than one of the "big gyms". It really creates a better atmosphere to study yoga in a quiet and calm setting. They have several yoga instructors so it gives you a variety of different styles and techniques. The membership options are endless and they allow you to rollover any unused days to the next month. The studio is designed with beautiful dark hardwood floors giving it a spa like feel. I am thankful to have found this studio to study yoga. It has allowed me to regain the flexibility and strength I had when I was a gymnast as a child. It really gives you a balance between mind, body and spirit.

I found out about Balans Studio through Groupon and I LOVE it there! The price for the monthly unlimited package is very reasonable, and the owners John and Josefin, are sooo nice and friendly. I unfortunately had to end my membership cause I moved, and the saddest part about leaving Gainesville was saying bye to the instructors and people who I met at Balans. My favorite class was TRX with Donna. It was a perfect workout where I was able to sweat and was sore the next day. She lets you make the workout as tough as you like, so you can work your way up to heavier weights and harder activities. I liked the Barre and yoga classes as well. The classes differ a lot based on the instructor, so keep that in mind. You can cancel a class up to two hours before so its pretty flexible. Everyone is encouraging and friendly and I would highly recommend giving this studio a try!

Balans is a well designed and complete place to feel and look your best. The amount of detail put into this business is noticed as soon as you walk in the door- from the little things such as brochures, cards, hot tea and organic clothing lines. To the more important things like the experienced instructors and schedules to meet all peoples needs. This is not a typical franchise like so many places around here, but truly a one of a kind studio. They obviously put the clients needs ahead of the business- they allow the clients have complete control over their accounts, no joining fees, no hidden costs, just a well designed and complete place. Options from walk in 1 day passes to 5, 10 and unlimited class cards. Everything is on the web site and easy to read and understand. Bravo

I joined Balans when it first opened and right away I knew it was the right place and pace for me. I love the studio feel, small class sizes, incredible (highly qualified) instructors and camaraderie amongst my fellow workout mates, who quickly become friends. Dont be fooled by the limited offerings of TRX, Barre, Yoga, Zumba, Piloxing and Pilates. Any of these done in the right combination will get you in shape, feel zen like and new muscles you didnt know you had. Add to that, a mini clothing boutique, nutrition coaching and boot camp offerings...why would you even go to the big box gyms to be ignored and do ineffective workouts? Make the most of your (time and money) workout investment and try Balans. Youll be glad you did.

Balans is perfect for me. Unlike a traditional "gym" the studio makes working out fun by offering a variety of classes, such as TRX, Pilates, Yoga, Heated Yoga, Barre, and Zumba. Whatever your fitness level and interests are, the instructors are highly qualified and enthusiastic, and make sure youre comfortable and most of all, having fun!! The best part about Balans isnt limited to the quality instructors though- John and Josefin (owners) are extremely helpful, flexible, and accommodating with clients needs. Youll find that "small community" feel at Balans, that are often lacking in other fitness studios or gyms. I highly recommend Balans, its the place to GO!!

Balans Studio is a friendly and vibrant spot conveniently located in Gainesville, VA. The yoga instructors offer a variety of approaches and experiences which inpire the novice and seasoned yogis and yoginis alike. They are always open to requests and emphasize the need both to honor our own bodies and to accept and love ourselves as we are right now. There is a real sense of community and expect a friendly welcome from the owners John and Josefin each time you walk through the door.The online class reservation system is easy and convenient for anyones busy life style. The class offerings are extensive for a studio of its size. Just dont take my slot :-)

When I moved to Virginia I searched for a yoga studio where I would be challenged in my practice. Balans is that studio and so much more. Each week I learn something new in my yoga classes. The instructions are very talented and well versed in Yoga. When I became pregnant with my second child I worried that would have to put my practice on hold until the baby was born. My instructors amazed me with how much work they did to find poses that I could do while pregnant and still participate in my regular weekly classes. I was able to practice until the day before my son was born. I cannot say enough positive things about Balans.

I have done mostly yoga classes here with various instructors (Jaimis is excellent!!!) and they all were very educated and the classes had a good flow to them. The instructors always give modifications to make if you are looking for more of a challenge so that everyone is getting a great work out - beginners - advanced. The studio is clean and everyone is very friendly. I often have problems finding a class that is open (especially on the weekends) - but if you plan your schedule several weeks ahead and sign up early that isnt a problem.

Balans Studio is Diamond in the Ruff. Perfectly staffed with motivational instructors that sincerely care about your health. Everyday I am greeted with a warm hello and a smile. The studio is more than just classes, you build relationships that help keep you coming back. The classes are fanatastic. I have been a Member of Balans since January and in that time I have never been disappointed with a class. The studio itself has a scerene, relaxing vibe that is perfect location to end my stressful work day.

I have been going to Balans for over a year now. When I first started I was looking for a friendly, group atmosphere to participate in cycling classes. I then tried their Pilates and TRX classes and now that I am pregnant I am loving Yoga and Barre. The variety is perfect, the instructors are great, and the small class size is perfect for a "hands-on" instructed workout; all with extremely convenient class times! I would recommend Balans to all levels of fitness, beginner to professional.

The classes are wonderful and the instructors are so good. A very welcoming environment for a first-time exerciser or a seasoned fitness veteran. The classes are challenging, and the schedule is very accommodating. I absolutely love the online registration and the interface with the mindbody app. I work full-time and also have two small children, so the flexibility of online scheduling allows me to register or cancel a class at the last minute if need-be. I am hooked on Balans!
