4Balance Fitness

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! This is a family atmosphere where everyone knows everyone. The owners are highly educated in sports specific training and nutrition. My son has improved in his sport of hockey thanks to the team at 4BalanceFitness!

Fantastic experience: Joined 4Balance about 2 months ago and it's the best decision I could've made. Micheal and the entire staff are great! They help you with meal plans and create workouts specifically to your goals . I have lost 18 pounds while also gaining muscle .

Fantastic experience: Michael and the 4Balance team have been incredible! The attention to detail and motivation provided by the coaches and other members makes it easier to get up each morning and train. I highly recommend checking 4Balance out for all your fitness needs and I'm looking forward to reaching and exceeding my goals here!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Best place - I’ve ever worked out due to Michael’s knowledge - ability to work with people and knows how to motivate you and knows what works. we got our Masters at Furman in Exercise Science- The Man knows his stuff - he knows working out and nutrition.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this gym! My physical fitness has never been better, thanks to the personalized workout programs and meal plans I recieved. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Michael and his team are nothing short of amazing. From the first moment you step in the place and every step of your journey, they are there to guide and motivate you to reach your fitness goals. The initial consolation is more like the beginning of a relationship than a person trying to sell you on personal fitness. Michael listened as I told him my goals and what I hoped to accomplish. He then designed a plan to help me with those goals. Motivation, encouragement, and education in a results driven environment is what you can expect. There is no better place to exceed your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best gym in Greenville! Their personal training is customized to your personal goals. I have a busy work schedule that can change quickly and they always make my coaching work. I admire their “we will make it work” philosophy. Their trainers take pride on helping you succeed and obtaining your personal goals. If you want a gym where you have customized coaching and see results quickly this is your gym!

Fantastic experience: Michael and his team at 4Balance Fitness brought me back to life. I came in extremely weak and needing a push to get back in shape. The workouts were well designed to work with me at my level and to help me progress. I have been transformed, so I am thankful for their help.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Michael at 4 Balance fitness I'm in the greatest fisical shape at 54. Michael has the knowledge and experience to get you in great fisical shape. The place is always clean and judgement free. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great knowledgeable coach. I have had great results with 4 balance. Place is always clean and nice. The team is friendly and everyone is judgment free! I love working out here.

Fantastic experience: 4balance fitness has been a game changer for me. Before 4B I was just the guy at planet fitness doing curls with no motivation. The 4B team has given me goals and direction to achieve the strongest/best version of myself. Can’t forget about the meal plan that has you eating more food than you can imagine, while losing weight and building muscle. Since joining in Mid Jan I have lost roughly 13lbs, gained 7lb of muscle, lost 12lbs of body fat, lost 5% body fat <~~ all this while being a typically person not on a crazy fad diet.

Fantastic experience: I don't know what I would have done; if it weren't for Michael and Denis. Both of these personal trainers have it going on! Denis usually takes me through my workouts. They give just the right amount of hype. Michael sends out reminder emails, which are extremely helpful. If you plan on going out of town, and want to workout while you're gone, DO NOT WORRY. They have an app where Michael goes in and puts your workouts, for each day, so you are ready to workout while being gone. 4balance is an awesome place to go. You pick the time and they'll be ready for you!

Fantastic experience: Love love love this place! From the trainers to the environment, it all makes the gym feel like home. Truly a free judgement zone and you meet some awesome people along the way. I’m heading into my four month on this fitness journey and the changes I’ve seen are just amazing. I’ve reached my weight goal and now get to create new goals, never thought that would happen in such a short time. The workouts created for you along with the meal plans you are given truly help. And I love that Mike and Jay are always around to make sure I’m doing things properly or to help out when I have no clue what I’m doing. And it’s not just about working out there, the trainers truly care about what’s going on outside of your gym life. I highly recommend coming here. Whether you are just starting or what a change in your journey because you are stuck, these people will help you become the you, you vision yourself to be or even better!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Michael Cole has helped me go from a meathead who only did bro splits to understanding my mobility for my career. Also being a type one diabetic for 17 years I’ve been able to lower my sugar and A1C. 4Balance is the best and recommend any pro wrestlers or athlete anywhere!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. It's so much more than a place to work out. The coaching emphasis on emotional, nutritional, and physical work is just the beginning. Owner/Trainer Michael Cole really knows his stuff.

Fantastic experience: Love going to 4Balance and that's saying a lot for me because I don't like to exercise lol. Michael knows what he's doing when it comes to meal plans as well as setting up a personalized exercise program. I went to another gym for well over a year that also boasted of personalized service, but I've seen more results in 4 months than I saw at the other gym in 12 months. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I now have my boyfriend going to 4Balance and in just 2 weeks he's lost 10 lbs and seeing an amazing transformation.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Each week I’m pushed and pushed to reach my personal goals! It’s great having a trainer that designs workouts for your body and meal preps for you!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The team at 4Balance Fitness are Awesome! The workout plan is fit to your present goals and future goals. I highly recommend these guys. One nore thing they also customize nutritional meal plan; along with need supplements to complete your goals and more.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love working out here! With you every step, works with you with your meal plans/nutrition, great workouts, and very accommodating. Tried several other ‘trainers’ and gyms and never saw results until coming here.

Fantastic experience: Great place, flexible hours of operation, the owner is very helpful and it’s an all around good environment to feel motivated in. You WILL make progress if you follow the program. My body composition improved visibly within the 1st month! I only wish the workouts were shorter as it typically took me 1 hr 30 mins to finish straight through. That may just be my personal experience though.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Great customer service. Mike is really cares about his clients. This is not “just” another gym! They set the bar high and take great care of the facility and their customers! Come check them out!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’ve tried a multitude of fitness facilities in the area—4Balance is on another level! I thought I was at my peak health and fitness; the team showed me that I was just getting started! I only hate that I wasted so much time and money on complacency and NO results. Ask for Lucy!

Fantastic experience: Michael is awesome. He pushes me to challenge myself. He does not let me quit or take short cuts. I have been coming to the gym for just over 2 months, and I feel and look better than years of attending one of the leading cardio cookie cuter gyms up the road. I pay the same price and feel I get the one on one coaching to help me hit my goals. I never have to wait until 12 o’clock on Sunday to “book” classes for the week. Who has time for that?!?!? I would recommend this gym to everyone.

Fantastic experience: It is undeniable the results you get from 4Balance Fitness. The workouts are difficult and are tailored to meet your individual needs. If you want to see and feel the difference, try it out for yourself. Your body will love you for it. -JG

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of 4Balance Fitness since February of 2011. I have belonged to a number of gyms and worked with a number of trainers over the years but felt most comfortable at 4Balance. Michael Cole is not only very experienced, he takes into consideration my age, physical condition and my goals when setting up my work outs. After a short time, other members became close friends and our group workouts make the workouts more fun and therefore I show up more often!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in the Upstate. The trainers are professional and most of all very knowledgeable. From nutrition to form and everything in between. They’ll push you and work with you every step of the way. It’s very very welcoming to people of any exercise level. I can’t stress enough how welcoming they are and the intimidation free mindset and environment. Life changing!

Fantastic experience: There is no other gym like 4Balance. The trainers are knowledgeable and motivating! If you follow their nutritional advice and show up to workout, you will see results. There is a strong sense of community within the gym that creates an encouraging atmosphere! I LOVE 4B!!!!

Fantastic experience: What can I say?? 4Balance is THE best place to exercise in Greenville. Sure, I know, everyone says that about where the workout. I happen to know I'm right. Michael Cole has done a fantastic job at making this place into a home. We go there to bust our hump for an hour a day, but it's so much more than that. You get; expert advice, forums, fblive, demonstrations, friendly ribbing, tailored eating plans, essential oil expertise, and, a gym dog! Come and check it out...you've got nothing to lose, but, everything to GAINZ! #4bninja #lucytheninjagymdog

Fantastic experience: 4balance is the best fitness experience in the upstate. The trainers are knowledgeable and you get the full high intensity training experience without the fear of injury. I have learned more about what my body was capable of and what I should be putting in it to ensure maximum output here than anywhere else I've trained.

Fantastic experience: Very good facility. Knowledgeable and caring trainers. Varied workouts. The trainers motivate you to do your best, and they push you to keep going. A point of emphasis is that you're not competing with the others in your class, you're competing with yourself. Also, you are not a number here. Each client is known by name and treated as an individual.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to 4B for about two years and it has been an exceptional experience. The trainers are knowledgable and they have helped me progress significantly in weight training and cardio workouts. I look forward to seeing colleagues when arrive for a WOD; I feel like we are a family of like-minded individuals that enjoy a good workout, even if it involves burpees. Everyone is kind, friendly and supportive, and I wouldn't consider training anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Joining the 4Balance family and trusting Michael and the staff at 4Balance is by far the best decision I've ever made for my fitness. No matter your current fitness level or goal (strength, endurance, etc.), 4Balance can meet your needs. 4B goes beyond programming, providing guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and numerous other factors to give you the best opportunity to succeed. The only thing they can't do is show up and put in the work...that's on you!

Fantastic experience: 4B is like my second home! We've been members for 5+ years and through 3 pregnancies and still love it. I love that the workouts are always challenging and always an hour (super nice since I'm not fighting for machines or trying to make up my own workout in the limited time window that I usually have). I also love that Mike & Sam are always up to date & educated with current nutrition topics, safety while lifting pregnant, and that they come up with fun challenges for the whole gym to participate in. The community at 4B is also something you won't find anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I love my gym! Every day is challenging and fun and the trainers are awesome! (Plus, they have an adorable gym dog named Lucy) There are different programs that you can choose from based on your fitness goals. Anyone can workout at 4B regardless of your fitness level because they are always so helpful in providing modifications if needed. In addition to training, they also provide nutritional support and advice to help you reach your goals even faster.

Fantastic experience: My favorite part of 4Balance Fitness is that they create a welcoming environment for people of all ages and physical fitness abilities. The staff is helpful in accomplishing all fitness goals and customizing the workouts to individuals' physical needs. The workouts are challenging, but fun and different EVERY day. Also the gym hours are perfect for my work schedule. 4B has created what feels like a second family or friend group for me!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of 4Balance Fitness for years, and honestly they have become my family. It is the first place I go in the morning and my day is not the same if I miss the gym. I love the staff with all my heart and they have been there to support me when I lost a very close family member. I will never forget that! I have visited similar gyms in the area and 4B has the best facilities by far. Their 5am-7pm schedule allows me to fit my workout into my very busy and tight schedule. Other gyms could not match that. They offer me the flexibility to choose workout programs that are fun and challenging and they are a one stop shop for all your supplements and meals. You really don't have to go anywhere else. They are constantly growing and looking for ways to improve the already awesome experience. Oh yeah, results! I'm the strongest I have ever been in my life and my waist has gone to the same size it was when I was in college! They focus on the right things when it comes to health and wellness and not just lose these pounds fast just to gain them back. You have fun, you get challenged, you get results, and you meet incredible people!

Fantastic experience: I joined 4B on a recommendation from a friend. I hadn't been to a gym in over 2 years and they were great to get me started again. My husband ended up joining after seeing my progress and motivation. Through the nutrition training with Sam and Michael and training, we lost 30 lbs in 3 months! I have been a member for over 2 years now! Its a great way to start and train at any level and maintain great health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: There is always a great workout waiting at 4Balance no matter what your fitness level is. I love that the trainers can accommodate everything from a newbie to an extreme athlete and always push you to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Great trainers who really know how to push and motivate you - and lots of choices and challenges to make the workouts different each day! Glad to have found the 4B family!

Fantastic experience: Not your typical "gym" experience. The people here care and each day is a new, challenging workout adventure! Truly the best gym I've ever been to. Thanks 4B. :)

Fantastic experience: Great place overall. I am visiting from out of town on business. The owner allowed me to work out each day that I was in town with no hastle or anything. Everyone is down to earth and all willing to help anywhere needed. This gym was structured in a way that adapts to all type of fitness from cardio fitness to something they call "Beast" which is a traditional crossfit workout. I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. This is not just a gym and you don't only work on your fitness. You also work on how to test your limits and believe on yourself, build confidence! I come here 5 days a week and I feel is not enough! I love the couches! Sam, Michael, and Meg you guys are incredible!

Fantastic experience: Updated from a Facebook review I posted April 2015: Going to 4Balance before work starts my entire day off right, giving me energy and mental focus to do a great job at everything else that I face that day. I also appreciate having shower facilities to eliminate extra driving time to clean up after a workout! My husband teases me and says that I am a member of a cult because of how much my life centers around 4Balance - while I disagree with him, I do admit that refocusing my efforts on being active has had an addictive effect, because of the positive benefits that I see. I have not been sick at all, and I used to get sinus infections on a quarterly basis. Getting up and out of the house early ensures that I am at work ready to go without the groggy feeling that used to come with heading to work only an hour or so after I woke up. I also WANT to make better nutrition choices because of how it affects my performance in the gym - which is why I follow the Ninja Nutrition program at 4Balance. With a lot going on at work, I can point to my workout and diet regimen as something that has kept the wheels going instead of letting me fall into unhealthy eating and sleeping patterns. I realize that time is a scarce resource, and for those of you that have kids, I can't even imagine the struggle of trying to find time to be active to take care of your health, but I for one can attest to the benefits of making the time to get active. (Update: childcare is included in membership fees!) I also value Michael's programming of workouts and modifications. I don't have a full exercise degree, but I have taken classes specializing in personal training and formerly held a personal training certification and I can tell you, for me, workout programming was the most difficult and time-consuming part of being a personal trainer (it's like meal planning for me). At 4Balance, you can benefit from this programming in myriad of ways: Group training, Beast ("crossfit"), Endurance training, Strict Weightlifting, Bootcamp, etc. Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place! Today was my first workout since December, there's been much turmoil in my personal life. Almost every week workout buddies and trainers reached out and asked after me. I finally made it in after a long hiatus and I felt immediately back home. The trainers are welcoming, encouraging and not pushy. The owner is a nutritionist and not only do they sell supplements and even organic paleo meal plans but they're always super open to questions. I feel I can trust them, they all have amazing testimonials and are incredibly inspiring in their own right and then some of the regular clients have even more incredible testimonials of weight loss, injury recovery, weight training and even place in lifting competitions on the regular. It really is equal opportunity, they'll modify anything and everything they need to to accommodate to your needs... It's great. I can't say enough.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The schedule and location are convenient and they really do care about their clients. If you are looking for a gym that is not so ordinary then check them out..

Fantastic experience: Great place to get in shape. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. My kids are even doing a KidsFit class and they love it. It is more like a family environment then a gym. It truly is the Cure for the common gym.

Fantastic experience: 4Balance is amazing. Michael and Sam have completely changed the way I look at nutrition and working out. I was used to "healthy" eating and being in the gym, but this is so different! I signed up for America's Best Boot Camp, a 6 week course that includes a body analysis, customized workouts, and a meal plan. I lost 7 pounds and almost 15% body fat! However, that wasn't even the highlight for me. The best part was the change in mindset that I had. I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on working hard. Sam answered every single question that I had and modified my workouts for my shin splints and knee pain. They are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable when it comes to the science of eating and exercising. Being overweight for many years now, I was really nervous about walking into a gym because I had seen a lot of fit people walking into 4Balance. BUT(!) when I walked in for my classes, I didn't feel like anyone was staring or judging me. Everyone was working so hard on themselves and it was super motivating! (Plus, the classes are fun and challenging) If I hadn't joined this gym, I would never be this far! They truly are "The cure for the common gym!"

Fantastic experience: 4 Balance is the Best place to workout in Greenville, I'm getting stronger & I'm in the Best shape of my life. It feels like a family atmosphere, we have great relationships with the trainers, and we always meeting new friends every week.

Fantastic experience: Family atmosphere, no judging, modifications if needed, childcare, great trainer's and you never have to worry about what you're going to do that day because they've written all the workouts for you! There's something for everyone. This is NOT CrossFit! :)
