Our owner Joakim, a Swedish born Australian came to the UK in 1998. A former Australian Army Reserve Commando, Bondi Beach Surf Life Saver and TA Physical Training Instructor, Joakim is a Level 3 Pilates Teacher and Sports Therapist.

The warmth of rich wood, soothing aromas and custom built furniture create a relaxing atmosphere. The natural interior colours were specially designed to support earthiness and help one find inner balance. For a touch of fun, all the signage within Bälans is in Joakim’s native tongue, Swedish, as is of course the name of the business which means ‘Balance’. This word was chosen with the intention of creating a space where everyone can refresh their connection with themselves and find a healthier, more balanced way of living

Balans offers the complete range of Studio Apparatus, including 4 Exo Chairs, 4 Reformers, a Ladderbarrel and the Cadillac.

Each piece of apparatus has its own repertoire of exercises many of which prepare you for the Classical Matwork Routine. The use of adjustable springs to provides resistance which challenges the muscles in new and positive ways.

Fitdankbaby

Fitdankbaby is a very unusual fitness class which is perfect for mums who want to get back to their pre-pregnancy fitness.  It is a German concept which means ‘fit thanks to the baby’ and what is unique about the method is that the baby is an integral part of the class.

During the class mums wear the baby in the patented Fitdankbaby Velcro belt.  This belt allows the weight of the baby to be safely distributed onto the mum’s hips allowing for greater movement and more effective training. The baby is an essential part of the class making the exercises effective for mum and bonding for the child. And even better: the training weight increases as the baby grows throughout the course!
