Having at one time been a coach myself, I was not sure I would find a trainer I was willing to work with but in my first meeting with Jan I felt understood, respected and comfortable. She was accepting of where I was and seemed to sincerely feel she could help me become healthier and more fit.

From the beginning Jan tested me, assessed my abilities, provided encouragement and support and gently but increasingly challenged me. In creating a program for me she has taken into consideration: me, my interests, my health and my abilities.

As a result, in the year I have trained at the Balance Institute, I have not only improved my physical fitness but have lowered my blood sugars, decreased my insulin, lowered my blood pressure,decreased my depression, improved my eating, and lost a significant amount of weight. I feel much better about my self and have increasingly become committed to taking better care of myself.

I am continuing to work with Jan and recommend the Balance Institute as a place to train under a highly qualified, committed professional who is willing and capable of designing and helping you to follow thru with a program tailored to your needs.
