Balanced Health Fitness Nominated for Best Personal Trainer in Four Leaf’s Best of Long Island
Seaford studio also announces a new website and member app
Balanced Health Fitness, a coached strength and personal training studio at 3828 Sunrise Highway, has been nominated for Best Personal Trainer in the Health, Wellness & Beauty category of Four Leaf’s Best of Long Island. Public voting is open now through December 15 at bestoflongisland.com.
Owner and head coach Bridgette Hartz founded the studio in 2021 after years of coaching large group classes, with a simple goal: give every client real, personal attention. Today Balanced Health Fitness serves men and women from Seaford, Wantagh, Massapequa, Bellmore and Merrick, and keeps its training personal by design:
Personal training sessions pair one coach with no more than two clients.
Small group classes are capped at five people.
“This nomination belongs to our members,” said Hartz. “They show up for themselves every week, and they’ve turned this studio into a community. We’re so grateful, and we’d love your vote.”
New for members
Alongside the nomination, the studio is rolling out several upgrades:
A new website at balancedhealth.fitness, with programs, coaches, packages and free consultation booking.
The Balanced Health Fitness member app, launching January 1, 2027. From their phones, members will be able to book personal training and small group classes, manage training packages, message their coach, track workouts and progress, and join community events and challenges.
Free consultations for new clients, bookable online.
