Balance Fitness

Kia has been on the Balance Fitness team as a Health & Performance Coach since 2017. She received a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology from UWM and is a NSCA Certified Personal Trainer. Her active childhood translated into a passion for moving and living well. Kia uses this passion with her clients every day in order to help them achieve their goals. Her thoughtful and creative approach to individual program design provides each client with a focused and quality fitness routine. When she’s not at the gym, Kia enjoys boating on Lake Michigan with her fiancé in the summer and snuggling with her cat Bacon in the winter.

My name Joe Nelson and I am a NSCA certified personal trainer who specializes in strength training and functional mobility.  I have an exercise science bachelor’s degree from Carroll University, and am currently studying for my doctorate in physical therapy.  My educational background allows me to combine strength training movements with functional rehab principles to promote healthy and strong movement.  My goal for all of my clients is for them be confident in their strong bodies and their ability to succeed both inside the gym and out.  I believe that the human body was made to move and move well, and training is one way we can optimize ourselves and be better at being human!
