Our Philosophy
Balance Your Routines philosophy is to help you achieve optimum health and performance in your daily life. Because your health is about more then going to the gym, it is about maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. Our goal is for you to learn how to consistently exercise on your own while living an active lifestyle.
The all-or-nothing principle does not work! By you learning how to set realistic goals, being accountable and learning simple lifestyle changes and how to maintain them -- you will create balance in your daily routine that will last a lifetime! Making Balance Your Routines training more than what is found in any standard gym environment.
Our Approach
Whether you want to train for a sports event, lose weight or strengthen your entire body, Balance Your Routine uses many diverse types of training to create the perfect workout for your goals. Combining the use of equipment like a BOSU, exercise ball, core balls, free weights, resistance bands, standing and mat work - you will increase muscle mass, be more resistant to injury, strengthen your core, improve your posture, balance and coordination -- while increasing your energy, strength and endurance.
Can I get an effective workout without the use of machines?
Of course, most machines focus on primarily one specific muscle. Why isolate one muscle when we use our entire body to perform all our daily activities. By using free weight with proper form and body mechanics, you will learn how to engage all the correct muscles with a machine holding you in place.
Owner, Exercise Specialist & Lifestyle Coach
Thank you for visiting Balance Your Routine. Stacy Johnson is a graduate of Bastyr University with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science & Wellness. She arrived at Bastyr after years of competitive swimming and competing in triathlons and other local events. Stacy also coached age group, high schools and masters swim teams, and others wanting to complete in triathlons. All while working in other health and fitness places. Stacy wanted an education that afforded her an understanding of the science of how our bodies worked, so that she could learn how to train effectively & efficiently. After Bastyr, Stacy worked in a physical therapy clinic, which allowed her to use the knowledge Stacy had gained at Bastyr. With her diverse background in rehab, sports, health and fitness, Stacy was determined to find a job that would let her teach others about living a fit healthy-balanced life.
After years of competing my body was full of injuries and I was constantly in pain. I tried different workouts and saw different doctors and eventually found out I had a congenital hip defect and a degenerative disk in my back. I thought I was forever going to be in daily pain. Therefore, I started developing my own method of training. Learning how to do the right exercises for my body, I found that exercise is the key to keeping me out of pain and able to function throughout my daily routine. With my method of training, I now live pain free and can enjoy an active lifestyle with my husband & dog, Dixie.

Getting married at 39 for the first time is extremely daunting: most of the dresses are designed for women in their twenties and not for a woman with years of wisdom (and cheetos). I was active in Pilates, but knew I needed weight training. Through my Pilates instructor, I found Stacy Johnson.
Stacy was great from the beginning. Not only did she listen to my needs and hopes, she also ensured that we worked towards realistic goals. Always accommodating, Stacy created a schedule to slowly introduce strength training and ramp up the meetings and intensity the closer the big day came. The month before, I was meeting with her twice a week and feeling powerful. By my wedding day I had lost 7 pounds. I not only felt beautiful but knew I looked good.
Two months after my wedding, I decided to return to Stacy. Naturally, I didn't have as much cash flow since my husband and I were still paying off the wedding debt. Again, Stacy listened. We created a moderate schedule that would bring me back into shape without breaking the bank.
Stacy gets it. She understands that life makes many demands on individuals and can work within those demands to design a unique, successful program. I highly recommend Stacy, whether you need to look great for a special event or want to improve your health and feel better, she'll get you there. - Bonnie B.
I have been racing off-road motorcycles for the past 6 years. Being 37 I've concluded that competing at the level I'm striving to get to, I'd have to maintain a higher level of physical fitness. I knew I couldn't achieve this goal without some professional expertise! I have always kept up on my fitness and workouts myself and felt good about it. I found Stacy Johnson and after just a few of her workout regimens I could tell that what I was doing on my own wasn't enough. She had tailored a workout that specifically targeted muscles to enhance my strength and endurance to achieve my racing goals. It has completely changed the way I feel and the way I ride! She has brought my physical confidence to a new level. One thing I truly like about working with Stacy was that she seemed to be utterly focused on the task at hand. She would also go above and beyond with ideas at later dates to better upgrade my workouts. That showed me that her goal was to achieve optimal results with her clients. I truly enjoyed her enthusiasm and professionalism! I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their performance in the sports they are currently in or just their basic physical fitness. I am looking forward to competing at a higher level with a new found confidence. I also hope to be thanking her from many podiums. Thank you Stacy!! - Gene D.
I highly recommend Stacy Johnson as a personal trainer. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. She worked with me as I was both training for a marathon and struggling with an injury. She looked at the exercises that my physical therapist has assigned and helped me figure out how best to reamp them up to continue my healing. She also worked with my whole body so that I was stronger all over, which really helped my running. Thanks to the training plan Stacy put together, I was able to finish my first marathon! She is reliable and fun to work out with. She understands that people come into training with different levels of previous knowledge and can adjust her workouts appropriately. She also puts together great worksheets to help you keep track of your training plan and what all the various exercises are. I've continued to work with Stacy after the marathon and she adjusted my workout plan to my new goals. The new plan is tough, but I love it and I'm seeing great results! - Jill P.
I am a 44 yo woman who has been moderately active throughout my life, but in the last few years had stopped exercising regularly; I worked a stressful job, and my body was showing the strain. I had gained 30 lbs., and developed chronic neck and shoulder pain that was not helped by weekly massages; I came to Stacy knowing that I needed to get some balance back in my life, but also knowing I didn't have the discipline to do it for myself--or even where to start.
We began slowly, with light weights to strengthen my shoulders and back; within 2 months, the chronic pain was gone. I had also developed high blood pressure and my resting pulse was above 100; after 4 months of twice-weekly workouts, with some walking on my own, it has come down to a healthy rate of 64. I haven't lost much weight on the scale, but my body is tightening and growing more defined. I can honestly say I enjoy each session with Stacy; I often come in wishing I didn't have to work out, and by the end of the hour I feel great and am so glad I did. I've even started adding some at-home workouts that Stacy prepared for me, and I am committed to sticking with exercise for the long haul because I truly believe it can work miracles! - HJ
