Balanced athlete workouts have restored my belief that I will recover fully (at age 61) from a total ankle rebuild (at 58. ) I had worked hard to rehab my ankle but it wasn't until Balanced Athlete certification class that I fully believed I could rehab it like a teenager. Recently, I went to a yoga class after three weeks of home practice emphasizing block 1 of the Balanced Athlete, and was stunned at how fluidly my body moved, and at my ability to balance on each leg with precision and control. I can't wait to try running barefoot in the spring, and to help people who, like me, are achy, aged, and able. Thank you, Johnny, for helping me identify and address my vulnerabilities so I may help others do the same. More...

I have a one of my clients rolling her feet with a PVC pipe and doing the Foot Primer I learned at PTCon 2018 from Johnny Gillespie of Balanced Athlete. Previously she had broken one foot and also tore 4 ligaments on the bottom of the other foot. About a week ago she let me know that her Dr. doesn't want to see her every 3 weeks as she has been doing for a few years. He only wants to see her when she needs to. More...

The BA training with Johnny is an amazing experience. He explains the content so clearly that it is easy to understand and incorporate into your practice. The training enables you to be self aware of where you live and provides the basic understanding on how your body works. More...

Balance Athlete is truly cutting edge and revolutionary training. It will teach anyBODY how to synchronize mindfulness and breathing with body awareness to master mobility through stability. Even though I have always lifted and remained active, it was not until I took this training that I truly found out what I did not know...sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know. Johnny Gillespie is truly an amazing teacher and a master of interactive learning, who has made a life long impression on me and my practice. This training really should be renamed Bad Ass. Thank you... More...

No amount of words can possibly describe my gratitude towards dedication and passion of Johnny's teaching. When I was hesitant about committing myself to the Level 1 BA training program, Johnny assured me that it will be a life changing weekend, he was totally right. I feel better prepared for my own practice which I can take it with me for the rest of my life, and who knows, I may even have enough courage at some point in my life to actually teach people. My body clearly knows where it lives now, which is a miracle in itself. More...

Balanced Athlete has made me aware of how my body moves--not only during exercise but more importantly throughout the day. My regular practice helps me keep good alignment principles in the forefront of my thinking. The intent behind my practice is to be able to move, and move well, when I am 90. I feel that Balanced Athlete is helping me toward that goal. More...

Balanced Athlete is a life changing approach to movement. It helped me bring greater awareness, mindfulness, integration, and stability to the way I move, both in my fitness activities as well as simply walking and standing each day. As a result, I feel more in my body and am recovering from a shoulder injury in a more healthy and informed way. Highly recommend this program! More...

Johnny and the Balanced Athlete have had a profound impact on my personal practice. As someone who suffered with a failed hip surgery, B. A. helped to stabilize and strengthen not only my practice, but the way I hold my body on a day to day basis. Johnny G. does an incredible job teaching this practice so that it's easy to understand and use on any given day. I'm so grateful that I not only feel better but am also more aware of my movements and how I take care of myself. Thanks so much to the Balanced Athlete team for making life in this body WAY more comfortable!!!! More...

2017 Update. I've taken this training three times simply because it's so jam packed with critical information that I don't want to miss a beat. Johnny delivers a sophisticated view of movement mechanics harmoniously blended with teaching techniques, and immersive "feel the difference" opportunities. If you teach yoga, cross fit, pilates or any physical exercise - this is a critical training. If you have been plagued with pain or repeated injury due to sports or any consistent athletic practice in your life - this training is going to ensure you have the tools to coach your body back into a state of better integration.

The Balanced Athlete Program changed everything for me-for the better!! I am a 500RYT and I learned so much from Johnny and Sara Gillespie. This was the most comprehensive, yet user friendly material you will find on safe, effective movement. It has changed how I teach and I feel like I can really HELP people address the patterns and habits that they bring to fitness. I did the level one BA Coach program and am looking forward to doing more. I also have found that Johnny is really accessible if you need anything or have any questions. I HIGHLY recommend this for every body. More...
