Balanced Health Fitness has become an addiction. Bridgette, Meredith, and Jahel have been such amazing trainers. I never thought I could lift and be as strong as I could today if it weren’t for them. Highly recommend this gym!
Balanced Health Fitness is an exceptional, personalized gym aimed at individualized programs that really challenge clients to reach their potential. The coaches, Bridgette, Meredith and Jahel, are extremely knowledgeable and attentive to their clients. The gym is exquisitely kept and is a community.
Balanced Health Fitness has become my happy place. Bridget & Meredith are very knowledgeable in their craft and very supportive. I've been going here 4 months and love it. I'm sorry I didn't join sooner!

I'm out of shape. Is this for me?
Yes. Most people start exactly there. Your first visit is a free consultation and a PAR-Q+ health screening, and your program starts at your level, not ours.
What happens at the free consultation?
You and a coach talk through your goal, your schedule and your health, including the PAR-Q+ health screening. It is free, it takes 60 minutes, and you can do it at the studio or by video. You book it online. You leave knowing the session length (45–60 minutes), how often to come and the package price.
How much does personal training cost?
Sessions run from $60–$100 per session, depending on the package. 10 private sessions cost $1,000 ($100 a session). 30 private sessions plus 4 Balanced Classes are two payments of $1,035 ($65 a session, $30 a class). 50 private sessions plus 8 Balanced Classes are two payments of $1,600 ($60 a session, $25 a class).
Can I train around an injury?
Yes. Tell us about your back, knees, shoulders or anything else that hurts, and your coach changes the exercise so you keep getting stronger. Bridgette and Meredith are Pain-Free Performance Specialists. We are coaches, not a medical clinic, so your doctor may need to clear you first.
What's the difference between private, buddy and small group?
Private Training is one coach with up to two clients, each on their own plan, for 45–60 minutes. Buddy training is a private session you share with someone you bring. Our small group class is The Balanced Class: 45–60 minutes, no more than 5 people. Class times are posted in the app about a month ahead.
Do you train men?
Yes. Men and women train here. Strength training for women over 50 has its own page because it is one focus, not the whole studio.
What are your hours?
Class times change month to month and are posted in the app about a month ahead. Studio hours: [HOURS].
Where are you, and is there parking?
3828 Sunrise Hwy, Seaford, NY 11783. It is our only studio. Parking: [PARKING].
