“I highly recommend the 5 days balance course for anyone looking to improve balance.The course lasted only 5 days but provided foundation to improvement of balance. It was encouraging to receive feedback to my questions, challenges and alternate exercises to keep me on task. Pre and post balance assessments documented progress I had made in 5 days......40% improvement in balance! Thanks to Nate and Mikey for leading a productive and fun experience.”

Sureshrani Paintel

“The 5 day balance course was fun and a good reminder that you can’t take balance for granted! I learned so many new things that go into optimizing balance that I didn’t know before. This course showed me there are steps to take to minimize the chance of a fall and just takes a few minutes every day. After my balance test at the end of the course, I saw my balance improve by 60%! Thank you for a really easy to follow, fun and inspiring start to regular balance training.”
