Pro Balanced Wellness

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Doug and his trainers. They are top notch, listen to your needs, and push you as hard as you want to be pushed. They truly care about helping you meet your goals and give you the right tools and attention to help you succeed.

Fantastic experience: I have always been an active person and what is considered healthy. I started noticing that the older I get the harder it is to lose weight. I have tried so many diets in my days but as the name says, they all felt like diets. I have been working with Doug for over a month and not only the results have been absolutely amazing but I have never felt this good in my life. He listens to your needs and helps you overcome the struggles making it personal and adjusting things to your needs and goals. It is the first time I don’t feel I am in a constant diet but I feel that I am changing a way of looking and preparing food and meals. Doug is very knowledgable and an expert on his field. I recommend him 100% and I am sure his whole team is fenomal.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have bern a member of ProBalance since Doug opened his doors, around ten years ago. Doug has multiple certifications and knows body mechanics extremely well. He personalizes the workouts to his clients’ personal needs. For me, we work on core, muscle/strength training and balance. I am able to do so much more physically/sports because of my weekly training sessions. Any physical issues I have had, he has been able to help me address them. His new gym space is terrific!

Fantastic experience: The team at Pro Balance Fitness & Nutrition have earned a five star rating from me! The individual care is exceptional! Each visit, my coach will listen while I voice any concerns or changes in my goals and then adjust my fitness plan accordingly. I am grateful to have this team come alongside of me as I get stronger each week.

Fantastic experience: I knew I needed to work out, for physical and mental health, but just couldn’t seem to make it happen on my own. This program has been a life saver for me. Doug pushes me but not beyond what is good for my body. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The Pro Balanced Wellness team is exceptional. They adjust exercises based on abilities and performance and are flexible with schedules. The team always inspires you into achieving more than you think you can. I always feel amazing when I leave.

Fantastic experience: Working with Doug was life altering for me. He took me from barely moving at all to moving, gaining strength, mobility and balance & so much more than I thought I could do again after years of health challenges. He taught me more about nutrition and best ways to keep my body nourished in very challenging circumstances. He's always encouraging and inspiring you to reach your potential without judging or pushing so hard it's not enjoyable. I would highly recommend Doug, Grace & Daisy to anyone.

Fantastic experience: responsive, supportive, knowledgeable group!!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Doug almost 3 years ago as I was approaching a “milestone birthday”. I wanted to get in the best shape possible, and learn the fundamentals of strength training to prevent further muscle and bone loss. Initially my goals were to get to a certain number on the scale and to “tone” up. As we began to meet those goals, my mindset shifted from a number on the scale to wanting to feel as strong as possible. We began to focus on nutrition, added hypertrophy to our training, and that’s when the magic started to happen! Doug is the best coach/trainer I have worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of training and nutrition, and takes the time to educate his clients so that they can feel empowered. His programming is prescriptive to each client’s needs and goals. Doug’s passion for making a difference in the lives of his clients is what sets him apart from others. He helps people become the very best version of themselves. I know, because he has changed every aspect of my life! Age is just a number! If you want to change your life for the better, make the call!

Fantastic experience: Doing strength training with Doug twice a week for the past several years has changed my life. I'm stronger than I've ever been, and I have more energy as well as the strength and stability to participate in some demanding sports without injury--and I'm in my 50s! Doug is a consummate professional, and he combines expertise and encouragement to create customized fitness plans that work. If you want to get in shape and improve how you feel, look no further than ProBalanced Wellness.

Fantastic experience: Doug's workouts and postive energy make working out fun! I'm already seeing great results after just 2 and a half months and am excited to see the end results.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has suffered from migraines for just over 15 years, signing up for personal training at Pro Balance Wellness has been the best decision I’ve made. I’ve been a massage client with Doug since about 2017 for migraine relief. I found massage therapy helped reduce the intensity and frequency of my headaches and migraines. Every session, Doug made sure to listen and understand what muscles in my shoulders and neck were bothering me and adjusted his technique to ensure my tense muscles responded well. We’ve talked about personal training in the past but I was never in a place to take that leap. At the beginning of this year, I wanted change with my migraines. Massage therapy is great, but what if I could just not get migraines anymore? Ambitious thought, right? Speaking with Doug on what my goals were, I signed up for personal training. I’ve been training for many months now and all I can say is “Why didn’t I do this years ago?” The journey has been tough, the muscles in my shoulders and neck have fought back but I see massive improvement. Through this entire training process, Doug always checks in to see how I am doing and from my updates the training practices are catered more and more to get the best results. Besides just training, there is also nutritional help you can receive. I now have a better understanding on what foods to eat and to limit to help on this journey. Overall, Doug and his team are wonderful. Everyone truly cares about you, your health and getting you to a better quality of life. As of today, I have gone 11 weeks without a migraine which is the first time since before I got migraines. I encourage everyone, if you are struggling with migraines from tense muscles or just want to be in better shape and live a better quality of life, definitely contact Pro Balance Wellness. It’ll be the best decision you’ve made!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a personal trainer, Doug and his team are the absolute best. He listens to the goals you want to achieve and helps you to achieve them. If you follow the plan he designs for you, the results are amazing. I've been working with him for a little over a year and a half, I always feel like I'm the only client he has even though I know better. His focus is always on you and your goals. His training extends beyond the studio, he helps with nutrition and encouragement and answers texts or emails very quickly. I highly recommend Pro Balanced Wellness for personal training.

Fantastic experience: You meet few people in this world that truly have a positive impact on your life & Doug is one of those people. He is diligent beyond words at creating individualized programs & his workouts are phenomenal! I’ve been training for almost a year & have never done the same workout twice. He is ALWAYS on time, so for those of you with busy schedules you will never have to worry. He will work with you on every aspect of your training including mobility, balance, strength, flexibility, nutrition & more. Most importantly, the workouts are always fun!

Fantastic experience: Doug has coached me to turn my health around! He answers all of my many questions about nutrition and exercise. The program he developed for me takes into consideration my physical limitations, what my goals are and what my schedule allows. It is all custom made just for me. Daisy and Phil are also wonderful trainers and follow the plan Doug created. There are check-ins almost daily from him. No question is stupid. Best decision I've made for my health!

Fantastic experience: I have been rock climbing for nearly 7 years. Came in for forearm relief.. needed it badly. Was taken care of and given an effective recovery plan. Hands down the most personal and high quality care I’ve received! Thank you very much for your time, expertise, and advise! Highly recommend this company for any athlete!

Fantastic experience: Wow. I really don't know what to say. The care, kindness, and compassion shown by Doug was beyond what I ever even would have considered to be possibility. It's VERY apparent that Doug has the wellness and healing of his clients in his best interest. Well worth it already and I'm mere hours post my first treatment. He gave me a detailed list home therapy techniques and a list of supplies to aquire for enhanced at home therapy. Very thankful for his guidance

Fantastic experience: I came across Doug's practice browsing the internet for local massage therapists and reached out to Doug. The communication was efficient and he accommodated my difficult schedule, which I truly appreciated. The massage itself was the most detailed deep tissue massage I've ever received. Doug was very professional, approachable, knowledgeable and a fantastic listener. The office was very clean and welcoming which helped me relax. Just after one session and I already know that I will keep coming back!

Fantastic experience: Just had a deep tissue with Doug. Excellent session, exactly what I’m looking for. Will return.

Fantastic experience: Got excellent care from Pro Balanced wellness! I so appreciate Doug's personalized approach. I love this business!! And my back is doing well

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Really nice guy with a lot of knowledge about health and fitness as a whole. Definitely recommend a deep tissue massage!

Fantastic experience: Doug is knowledgeable as well as sexy. I've never been in better shape and he inspires me to be strong and live a happy healthy life. Looking forward to wearing my Speedo again the spring.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Doug about 4 months ago and have been thrilled with the experience. His approach is to meet clients where they are at and offer encouragement, support and expertise to guide them on their wellness journey. Doug really cares deeply about all of this clients and goes the extra mile to meet their expectations. For example, I travel extensively with my job and Doug supports me by creating custom workouts while I am on the road - easy things I can do in my hotel room etc. When I am home, he is flexible to meet my schedule that changes every week. One of Doug's strengths is his attitude -- he keeps it positive, upbeat and fully of energy. Sometimes he will send me a message just to let me know I did a great job and that I am awesome! I have made significant improvements with my strength and my fitness goals and have seen progress with my nutrition and general ability to live a less stressful and happier life. Success breeds success and it has a trickle down effect. If you want someone who is going to work hard, be flexible, meet you where you are at and pump you up -- Doug is your guy. Don't delay -- book a session with Doug today! :)

Fantastic experience: I had my second session with Doug at Pro Balanced Wellness today and I’m blown away at how great approach is. Doug breaks it down in manageable, bite size pieces and then reconstructs everything together to form a solid foundation. The exercises were just the right about of easy (to not become overwhelming) and challenging (to keep you interested). Great techniques.

Fantastic experience: Doug is great. Best sports medicine in Kennesaw.

Fantastic experience: Doug helped me manage a sports injury and kept me on the park. Without his help I think I would have had to retire from sport.

Fantastic experience: I went in to meet with Doug the first week of January. I'm 45 and I wanted to start feeling better and drop some lbs. He got me on a great plan. I worked with him twice a week for about 3 months. I feel better than I have in 10 years. My energy level is so much higher than it was. Even after I finished our sessions, he wrote up a plan I can easily do at home. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Doug is a fantastic personal trainer with a great facility. He is knowledgeable, professional, encouraging and upbeat. I have joint problems & wanted to get back in shape without injury. I did a lot of research & tried another one before deciding on him. The initial assessment was thorough & informative. I was impressed that he was immediately able to determine why I couldn't perform an exercise properly. Two physical therapists didn't even recognize the problem. After incorporating stretches & corrective exercises, I can now do the exercise correctly. He designed a wonderful program including nutritional guidance. He's even available by text to answer questions. The exercises vary, so they aren't boring or repetitive. He knows how & when to make modifications as needed too. He's great at motivating me & makes working out fun. I truly look forward to my sessions. I have seen great results in a short period of time. I've gained muscle, lost weight, have more energy & sleep better at night. No doubt I've make the right decision!

Fantastic experience: Doug not only offers the best massages I've ever had, but he is also super nice, polite, and professional guy. He solved problems and pains I had that even physical therapists and chiropractors never did.

Fantastic experience: Doug is a superb trainer. Very knowledgeable about all things having to do with fitness, the body, diet and performance improvement.

Fantastic experience: Doug has been awesome to work with the last 3 months for personal training. I got to a point in my life where I had enough of my own complaining and needed to take things to the next level. Doug has pushed me mentally and physically throughout the process. If I need additional help outside of our scheduled sessions, I can reach out to him and he responds within that day. I look forward to the next 3 months with him and what I can accomplish with his guidance. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a life style change.

Fantastic experience: Doug is highly educated and personable. He eats, breathes, and sleeps Pro Balanced Wellness and genuinely loves what he does. Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, Doug gives the best massages I've ever had. I've gone regularly for several years and would never stop. My migraines went from every few weeks to only a few times a year. Life changing! He's also taught me many "tricks", including how to relieve hip pain after my runs. Totally recommend Pro Balanced Wellness!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Doug for massage for the past 2 years. I carry a lot of stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. Doug always works out the knots and gives me tremendous relief. I highly recommend Doug for deep tissue massage.

Fantastic experience: The best massage ever! This is not a strip mall massage place. This is a therapeutic massage that gets at all the places that hurt. I went for one massage and signed up for five. I told Doug the places in my neck and back that were hurting, and he found muscles I didn't know existed. He also has a personal training program that I plan on participating in. I would recommend Doug and Pro Balanced Wellness to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Doug has kept me in competitive form for my crossfit events. His medical massage experience is mind blowing!! I am thankful I have found an amazing therapist who actually gets the athlete and the need for recovery, rehabilitation, and competition prep massage.

Fantastic experience: At Pro Balanced Fitness, Doug really cares about his clients. He listens to them to design the best massage and/or physical training plan to meet the client's needs. For instance, after several years of seeing Doug for massage (more like excellent physical therapy), I decided that I needed his help to build strength and stamina as well as lose a little weight. Doug listened, designed, and continuously tweeks my plan to help me to reach my goals. He understands the different goals of different clients well. At age 60, I am certainly looking at different goals and outcomes than a 25 year old. Doug really gets that and he is very intune with health, exercise, and nutrition for all ages. And, especially great is that Doug is a very encouraging teacher and trainer.

Fantastic experience: I had a prenatal massage there today and it was a great experience. It was my first time at Pro Balanced Wellness and was impressed with the calm, welcoming, and clean environment. Renee did a great job taking care of me.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful that I found Pro Balanced on Groupon! I have been going a little over a year. I started with them to work on my shoulder pain. I couldn't even turn my head to the left or right because that was how tight I was. As I incorporated massage into my routine I began to have full range motion in my neck and back. I was sleeping better and felt more relaxed. I also started training with Doug last November and have seen amazing results. I have never felt better! I would (& DO) recommend Doug and his team to any and everyone. They are amazing!

Fantastic experience: This place is AWESOME!!!!! BEST MASSAGES OF OUR LIFE! My husband I purchased 2 massages off Groupon and hit the jackpot with Anna and Doug! Talk about experts in their field. Their techniques and skill far surpass any we've ever experienced before. The ambiance of their office is so warm, relaxing, and clean too! If you want a no-fluff massage where they really listen to your focus areas and treat you with absolute kindness, you've found the right place. Thanks again, Anna and Doug! Josh and I will be back soon. :)

Fantastic experience: Great place for a massage!

Fantastic experience: This facility is phenomenal! Doug is incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and communicative throughout your training session to provide you with the most focused workouts that are instilled with the right level of challenge for you. Also, PBW offers massage therapy that works wonders on any aches/pains you may be experiencing. This place has it all, don't miss out!

Fantastic experience: If anyone wants a massage, go to pro balanced wellness in Kennesaw and ask for Doug. They do a great job there!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Pro Balanced Wellness since January, both for personal training and massage. 6.5 months on I am still a very happy client. Doug is professional, up-beat and motivating. He has the knowledge and the ability to transfer that knowledge to his clients. He customizes each workout to support individual goals. If you're tired of big box, one-size-fits-all type "personal training," Doug Yanessa is the personal trainer for you.

Fantastic experience: I found Doug a few years ago after a sports injury. One of the only things that could relieve my pain for a good length of time was massage therapy. Not just any massage either. I had been to several different therapists. Doug is an expert in sports therapy and with me being resistant to go to the Dr. he was still able to do what he thought was best and treated me safely and accordingly. It's been a minute since I've seen him, but now after recently being diagnosed with what the problem really is I NEED to go back to massage therapy. Doug Yanessa is the only one I trust to help me. He's thorough, attentive and dedicated to finding a solution to your issue; whether it's a massage or personal training. Oh yeah, he was my personal trainer for a bit, too until my crazy work life took over! If you need someone who cares.... Don't hesitate to call him.

Fantastic experience: Doug is one of the most knowledgable strength trainers out there. Not only did he help me build muscle, he also helps keep me flexible and increase my range of motion. Additionally, he is licensed in massage therapy and as an athlete that is very valuable to me. He is true to his name and cares about wellness, not just buffness.

Fantastic experience: Love how good I feel after Doug is done. So relaxed!! He is really professional and offers several different massages plus personal training & eating help. Love!

Fantastic experience: Doug is awesome! Such a friendly and obviously knowledgable guy in the field. You can only come out feeling better after a massage with him! I haven't had a massage from the other therapist there, but she seems great and personable as well.

Fantastic experience: Doug is a very professional massage therapist who works hard to meet the needs of each client. I have had massages at several other spas, but, Doug is by far, my favorite massage therapist. Since I started at Pro Balanced Wellness, I don't want to go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Doug has been super as my personal trainer, massage therapist and sometime sounding board. Don't let that scruffy beard fool you - he's a super nice guy who puts his clients first. Highly recommend him for training and massage!

Fantastic experience: Doug is very professional and friendly. I used to get a massage every month until I moved to Georgia four years ago. I went to several places for at least three years before I found my massage home. He cares about his clients and does everything possible to make them feel comfortable and get what they need.

Fantastic experience: I've been getting massages for 10 years! When I found Doug two years ago I was so impressed I haven't went to anyone else! He is professional, friendly and fairly priced. He has the best sports massage out there, it's exactly what you need to ease muscle pain or tension. I've referred him to all my friends on numerous occasions. Book him now, you won't be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Doug is very professional and great at what he does. The only place I will go for a massage. My body thanks him.

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Doug, as a massage client, for over a year now. He is one of the most hard working, dedicated to his clients, professional massage therapist I have ever had. I have lived in many parts of the country, so I have been through quite a few. As a cancer survivor, he has been sensitive to my scar tissue while also helping me gain the biggest benefits of massage therapy. I would strongly recommend him.

Negative experience: Inappropriate therapist. Talks disrespectfully about almost every client to other clients. Unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: I received a wonderful massage from Rachel Poole this evening! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and skilled. I've had many massages, the good, the bad, and the ugly. This experience was spot on, enjoyable, AND reduced nerve pain significantly in just one hour. I'll definitely be back as regularly as I can!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the quality services at Pro Balanced Wellness! I have massage with Rachel and personal training with Doug, both are outstanding!. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and am trying to get in better shape and out of pain, without relying upon medications. Rachel gave me movement back in my neck after just one session! Weekly sessions are also very affordable. I have had personal trainers before, who pushed me too far, made me throw up and not be able to move for days - enough to discourage me completely. Doug understands the factors involving my health, weight and age and has developed a custom program to meet MY needs. He's sensitive, intuitive and understands anatomy and corrective exercise, so I'm not only feeling better, I'm seeing results!

Fantastic experience: This guy is AWESOME! His place is cozy and inviting. He is extremely knowledgable. I was literally crippled for a month with lower back pain. Meds weren't working and dr's did not know what was wrong. Other MT's turned me down when I described my pain. I called him and he made an appointment for me right away. He diagnosed my problem and two 30 min sessions later my problem was resolved. He gave me excellent at home strength building exercise and care instructions. So glad I found him on Groupon...not to mention he's a really cool guy!!

Fantastic experience: Pro Balanced Wellness has helped me change my life! I've been using Doug & Pro Balanced Wellness as my personal trainer since December 2014. During that time, Doug has been a guiding force in my evolution. I've averaged between 6-9 pounds a month and in 8 months I've lost 63 pounds, 23% of what I started out at. I am stronger, have better balance and have greater stamina & energy than at any time in the past 20+ years. I've used FitBit Flex step tracker & My Fitness Pal application at Doug's recommendation to hold myself accountable. Cholesterol has been reduced over 23% without medication. My overall health and well being are much improved as well. I've gone from a 44" waist to a 38" waist pants. The transformation is remarkable. I can unquestionably state for the record that I could not have accomplished all of this without Doug and his overall guidance & support in my workouts & diet. For my fellow boomers (I just turned 60!), I recommend Doug most highly. He'll take good care of you and help you meet your health goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Doug for several weeks now and I am thrilled with the results that I have already seen! During your initial visit, he takes all of your measurements, tests your abilities, and helps you to set up SMART goals. After your initial visit, he sets up a nutrition plan catered to your goals. He is very professional and encouraging. He focuses not only on teaching you proper form and technique, but also explains what muscles you should be using during each exercise. During my initial visit, I mentioned to Doug that I have weak knees and a pinched nerve in my back. He has focused on strengthening my knees and correcting my posture in my back! As a stay-at-home mom of two, I am proud to say that I can see improvements in my appearance! My arms and shoulders are becoming toned, my love handles are going away along with my belly, and my thighs are becoming firmer. I also have the energy to keep up with my kids, clean my house, and not feel exhausted at the end of each day! Doug is flexible with my hectic schedule and assigns at home workouts when your schedule just doesn’t allow you time with him. Overall, I highly recommend Doug and Pro-Balanced Wellness!

Fantastic experience: I've been blessed to have been Doug's client since 2013, first for massage therapy and now for personal training. He won me over immediately with his professionalism and his ability as a very skilled therapeutic massage therapist. He's extremely knowledgeable and a great listener, and he both challenges us and helps us to pace ourselves in workout sessions as the personal trainer for both my husband and myself. We've had great results, and we're so thankful for Pro Balanced Wellness.

Fantastic experience: I train and get my massages at Pro balanced wellness!! There techniques in finding the and helping the problem area is great!! Feel new ever time ! Also the training is fun and new each time which makes working out a blast!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I went to Pro Balanced Wellness for some pain in my shoulder. After just 5 minutes I was able to feel a massive difference. Doug really knows his stuff. In addition to the massage, Doug was able to help me get setup with a meal and exercise plan. They also have a gym in the basement where they offer personal training. I highly recommend Pro Balanced Wellness. I will be back.
