Hi, I'm Joel, the owner of Balance Wellness Systems!

​​

I graduated from Longwood University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Fitness and wellness have been integral parts of my life for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was very active, whether it was playing basketball, skateboarding or snowboarding or any other physical activity. However, my true passion was soccer. I played for Longwood University and was drafted into Major League Soccer after my senior season.  While my professional soccer career didn't unfold as I had hoped, I quickly found my passions shifting after travelling the country to play. I transitioned my focus to helping others seek their own fulfillment in sport or physical activity. 

My current mission is to bring high-level yet realistic training principles to every client, helping them achieve balance in fitness and life. As a dedicated family man with a wonderful wife and two kids, I understand the importance of balancing health and fitness with everyday life. When I am not helping you build strength, resilience and longevity you might find me reciting movies quotes, tackling the ever growing home project list OR lifting weights while listening to Metallica.

Whether you're looking to improve your overall health, start your fitness journey, get back on your feet from major injury or surgery, or need assistance progressing what you already know with the right accountability I'm here to support and inspire you on your way!
