Balance gym in Chestnut Hill doubles in size and mission

CHESTNUT HILL (WPVI) — Balance Gym has transformed into Balance Life.

There are still the group classes and personal training Balance is known for, but now there is a full medical team to a primary care physician, acupuncturists, a physical therapist and nutritionists.

Owner Amy Carolla says she wanted to create a place where everything needed for health and wellness was under one roof.

With the expansion, the gym more than doubled in size, adding a Pilates Reformer studio, a new cardio zone and recovery area where you can book a stretch session, and a new Techno Gym Checkup, a tool that calculates your wellness age.

Through a battery of tests, the machine identifies your strengths and your weaknesses, giving you a starting point to get stronger.

And, for the first time since its founding in 2008, Balance is an open membership gym, meaning people can come in and work out on their own.
