Check out the massage therapy for all your healing needs. The most most important life changing decision you’ll make is to contact personal trainer Jessica Ashman.

Balance Fitness is an awesome gym. While small, it has everything you need for overall fitness. Michael, the owner, works very hard to keep the gym in perfect shape - clean, functional equipment, nice restroom/shower/sauna facilities - and he is passionate about providing a great space for his members to work out in. For the price, hours and amenities, Balance Fitness is a steal! I highly recommend Balance Fitness, Michael deserves more than 5 stars for the hard work and love he puts into the place. More...

The last time I stepped foot in the gym was 30 years ago. After I left, a lazy lifestyle change led to weight gain, eventual planters fasciitis, severe back pain, and eventually learning that I had bone spurs and two compression fractures in my spine from old accidents. I went to Balance Fitness, explained my situation to Michael, and that I wanted to try strengthening EVERYTHING in hopes of some pain reduction with the back. He gave me a pass to try it out, I met up with trainer Pili Kaaihue, and started back at it. Pili is awesome. He listens, plans, and is patient in getting things going. He is actually paying attention while you do the reps, making corrections and not afraid to change things up if the exercise is too much. No ego. No judging. Just full attention. His prices are very fair, as are the gym’s monthly fees. I’m six weeks in and not too intimidated to stop. Thanks guys! More...

I joined the gym because it was convenient to work. This gym has been one of the best gym I have ever joined. It has everything that you need for a good workout. Mike the owner takes such good take of the gym by keeping it clean and making sure to add touches like soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers, mouthwash and towels. I really enjoy the sounds system and that you can pick the station- I really enjoy it when I forget my headphones. More...

Love this gym! Locally owned, and it's very well equipped and maintained. The owner is super nice. The gym itself is very clean, and it has almost everything you can fimd at a large gym. There are ample cleaning supplies at every station. There's a sauna, too! The vibe is cozy and intimate. No gym bros! More...

The owner Mike will brighten your day as he greets you and you’ll find yourself looking forward to going to the gym like I do! Mike puts his members first and it shows. He solicits ideas and feedback to take care his members. He is a part of the gym community and takes great pride in his business. Encouraging sayings decorate the walls along with vibrant colors to make this gym feel warm and inviting. Not to mention it’s kept impeccably clean. This is the best gym I’ve ever gone to and very affordable. More...

Can I give 6 stars? Mike, the guy who owns the gym, is just the nicest guy and the facility is great! I like that it's smaller and not your cookie cutter giant gym. That being said he still has plenty of equipment to go around. There's weight machines and free weights and just about anything you could hope for in a gym. They have the typical hardwood floor area for classes etc. and they even have a punching bag available which was a big selling point for me! Nothing but good things to say about this facility and the owner. I ended up having to cancel my membership because I was moving, but didn't deal with any issues when I called to cancel. I've experienced jumping through hoops with other gyms, having to call xyz number and give my account number and just been a real hassle, but Mike was professional and understanding. If it wasn't a 45 min drive to this gym from my new place I'd stay with Balance Fitness in a heartbeat. More...

Clean, incredibly tidy and well-maintained. A no-frills gym - the kind I enjoy working out in, and exactly what I was looking for during my shirt visit to Hillsboro. Day passes available for $5.

This place is amazing! I've never been a huge fitness fanatic but when I signed up for a race for my church I knew I needed to find somewhere to start training. Luckily I found Balance Fitness and couldn't be happier! Its a down to earth, work out at your own pace, don't get judged kind of place. I love the fact its a local and a small business. The prices for memberships are absolutely perfect and best of all there are no hidden fees or contracts. I've been coming for almost 2 months now and couldn't be more satisfied. This is truly wat small business should be like. I highly recommend Balance Fitness for anyone who wants a top of the line gym with the newest equipment and has absolutely every machine or free weight imaginable. The owner is super friendly and not once have I felt judged or looked down on. Definitely worth 5 stars! More...

Great gym! It has everything you need, it is clean, not crowded, great music (and you can ask for what you like). It also has different classes, massage and a sauna! I met and train with the owner, Mike, he is very knowledgeable, explains each exercise well and the muscles that they target, he accommodates to your needs and listens to your concerns, gives options, it is patient and motivates. I found this gym through Yelp and I am very happy I did. If you are a beginner and want guidance or advance and wants a good environment, I really recommend this place. Hope you have a good workout!

I had a great experience as a member of this gym, and was bummed to have to drop my membership when I moved out of town. Owner Mike and his staff are always very helpful and kind. As someone who has been a member of a bigger gym (24 hour), I found Balance Fitness to be a huge improvement. This gym not only has every piece of equipment you could ever need, but is also clean and never overcrowded. I also very much appreciate that membership is on a month-to-month basis, as I was not locked into a year-long contract (like at 24 hour) and responsible for paying out such a contract when I had to drop my membership due to a move. Thank you Mike!! More...

I've been working out at this gym during my lunch break for the last 7 or so months, including running on the treadmill, taking a fitness classes (yoga, PiYo, and Bootcamp), and relaxing in the sauna. The owners are friendly and supportive people who know their clients' names—makes for a personal experience. Instructors are equally friendly and lead well planned/prepped classes. The only reason I don't give the gym 5 stars is that the class room is small and can get crowded and hot during popular classes. More...

I love this place! And now they have a sauna, and I'm super spoiled. Love the Tuesday spin class, great instructors! Love the yoga class, and ZUMBA! Great little gym with quality weights, and machines that are well maintained. Super friendly, family owned business, and at the heart of downtown Hillsboro.Whether you're into group fitness, a quick workout during lunch, or want to walk a treadmill with a friend, this place is refreshing to say the least. Especially enjoyable if you're not into the big box gym and overwhelmed by there being too many people or overwhelmed by a hyped up atmosphere.Truly a place to get in your zone and focus on your health and fitness!

This is a great place to workout. It's clean and they have everything I need from cardio to free weights. I have tried other performance based gyms but really enjoy the feel of a neighborhood gym. The owners are always there to help and motivate you. The locker room, showers and sauna are a bonus. This is a wonderful new addition to downtown Hillsboro. I can run to the gym from my home. It nice to drop the kids off at school and get a workout in in a cozy non-threatening facility. Carla, the owner is really passionate about seeing me succeed. I hope to try out the spin and yoga classes too. It's only been open a few months and is family owned. The gym is a perfect addition to the growing downtown Hillsboro community. I would highly recommend it. They will let you try it out for a few days to see if it is a good fit. More...

Local Business, No Tricks, Nice FacilitiesI'd been hoping for a long time that a gym would go in within walking distance of my work. I'd tried 24hr Fitness on TV Highway, but it took too long to drive there and back and also get in a workout and look presentable for work.Finally, we have a gym in downtown Hillsboro! The owners, Carla and George are very kind, encouraging, and personable. I love doing business with a "mom and pop" over a corporate facility. Additionally, their rates are very reasonable and you don't have to sign your life away. I pay month to month, and can stop at any time with 1 month notice. The space is roomy enough, the equipment is varied and solid, and they keep it ship-shape. The women's locker room has showers, lockers, and some additional appreciated items such as body soap and a hair drier. They also have a group room and classes, but I haven't tried that yet.I don't need a gym to be big and fancy, so this works perfectly for me. The only thing I miss is a pool/spa, but since all other fitness needs are met, it's a small compromise. If you are interested in joining a gym in the downtown Hillsboro area, I encourage you to pop in and take a tour. While it's great that it's not yet crowded, it would also be nice to see them build this business and thrive in the downtown, Washington County campus area. Go for it! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Every session, and every workout, is geared toward the individual. I would make sure that I am tailoring each session to the individual's specific needs. All of our bodies are different, and nothing is a "one size fits all." That standard, and the fact that nutrition plays a large role in a healthy lifestyle, is why I would be able to help.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Passion and drive. One can say that they don't have enough time, one can say they want to wait until this or that to start working out, but the main motivator for me to achieve where I want to be is passion for fitness. Once you start exercising and seeing results, you get hooked. :)
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people. Getting to know their goals. Being part of an industry that I truly enjoy. Helping people to be active and healthy. Helping them seeing results! Finding that drive inside of people that really makes them push that extra percent harder. Many things!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had always wanted to own a gym. At least, for many years. Just again, this passion and drive for fitness.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have compassion for other viewpoints, I show respect to all things, and I am dedicated to a healthy lifestyle myself. I have been exercising pretty nonstop for the past 10 years (after battling a horrible eating disorder), and it has all been uphill from there. You can get better, you can get healthier, both mentally and physically. I've been there.
