    Fitness Balance began as an in-home personal training service. Clients worked one on one to achieve personalized goals using innovative techniques and state of the art knowledge. In 1996 Fitness Balance made significant changes to its business model. The first Fitness Balance “studio” was opened. This facilitated the addition of one full-time and several part-time staff, classes available through memberships and an expansion of activities. Pilates, Spinning, yoga and tai chi classes were added to personal training services. Within 24 months staff grew to four full-time and Fitness Balance was one of the first, if not the first, site in Wisconsin to offer Spinning. Fitness Balance was profitable in its second year of operation at the studio fueled by a 58% revenue increase. The business experienced over 50% growth every year except one since 1996. Fitness Balance asserted itself as Madison’s leader and innovator in fitness. Additionally, a clear niche in personal service gave Fitness Balance an edge over health clubs. Fitness Balance maintained the most complete Pilates equipment available complemented by certified Pilates instructors in the region.My primary responsibilities included managing twelve trainers and instructors, developing innovative programming and marketing while maintaining over 75 clients.
