Garnering notoriety as one of America’s Healthiest Clubs, see how BallenIsles achieved this recognition by supporting its Members in their fitness and health endeavors.

State-of-the-Art Fitness Facilities
Comprising the entirety of the second floor, an expansive fitness center ensures there is plenty of room to get your workout done, stretch out, restore, revive, and rejuvenate. From state-of-the-art strength and cardiovascular equipment to the aerobics room, BallenIsles is consistently evolving this space to ensure Members have access to the best equipment available. This summer, the highly sought-after Pilates studio will be expanding to allow Members a fresh modern look. Comfortable seating, expanded equipment selections, and an environment where group Pilates classes can be re-introduced.

For the past 13.5 years, Director of Sports Complex Operations, Michelle Doherty, (pictured left) has overseen every facet of operations within the Sports Complex. “The Sports Complex in itself is just like a mini-Clubhouse,” said Doherty. “I work closely with the management team to plan for the future, always pushing ourselves to be better. I love working alongside this great team of professionals who help our Members stay healthy and active. Our Members have become extended family throughout the years so it is important to me we are invested in their well-being.”

Personal Training Programs
Our team of personal trainers offer in-person and virtual training sessions to ensure every Member finds the fitness regimen that is right for them. Along with one-on-one training sessions, these highly skilled professionals, offer small group training and sport specific programming. We also offer over 42 complimentary group classes a week. From high-energy Body Blast classes to mindful stretching, yoga and meditation, the schedule has a variety of classes to suit all types of users from beginners to advanced.

“Our team of training staff are top-notch,” said Doherty. “We look at education, experience, how long they’ve been in their line of work, and what types of demographics they have worked with in the past. We pride ourselves on our experience and the best talent around.” Equally, we are huge advocates of continued education with the mindset, we are students, everyday learning.

On-site Physical Therapy
Perhaps one the biggest benefits of the Sports Complex, is our on- site physical therapy services. This service is such a convenience for our Members. The cutting-edge physical therapy clinic has the latest equipment and uses the latest and most effective techniques to help Members get back onto the golf course or tennis court better than ever. Among the extensive services offered are Foot & Ankle specialists, physical therapy, home care services, and house call specialists offering mobile medical care and deep tissue laser therapy.

“Having physical therapy services right on our doorstep is not only a wonderful amenity, but also a great service to provide our members who are rehabilitating after surgery or preparing for surgery,” said Doherty. “Their team works side by side with our personal training team to ensure a smooth transition from their hands to ours to continue with their individual fitness programming.”

Outdoor Exercise Opportunities Abound
For those who prefer to unleash their competitive side, BallenIsles’ racquet facilities have placed fourth for Top Ranked Racquet Facilities nationwide by Club + Resort Business. 30 courts are filled with lessons, clinics, and events for all skill levels, including 20 Har-Tru clay tennis courts including a stadium court that seats up to 500 people courts, nine permanent pickleball courts, and one hard court. The Club Pool and Cabana also provides workouts with an aquatic twist, with “aqua-aerobics” classes and lanes for lap swimming. Residents can also enjoy a main swimming pool, in-ground hot tub, children’s play area, and an outdoor patio complete with refreshing snacks and drinks for relaxing and soaking in the Florida sunshine.

With so many options to choose from, Doherty and her team are ready to help Members who might not know where to start find the best option for them. “Everyone starts somewhere, and my door is always open if there is anything you’d like to chat about,” said Doherty. “Movement is medicine, not just physically, but mentally as well. Taking charge of your health is key in your overall well-being. Set up a free consultation with a trainer, go over your goals, and let them custom design a program for you at your own pace.”
