About Me
Heather Roberts
Personal Trainer - Pilates Instructor - Nutrition Specialist - Melt Method Instructor
My name is Heather Roberts. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, a Certified Pilates Instructor a Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and a certified MELT method instructor. I live in Findlay, Ohio with my husband.
I began teaching group fitness in 1992 while attending university. I fell in love with group exercise. In 1994 I graduated from the University of Toledo with a bachelors in Biology and Health Education. While pursuing my teaching career I continued to teach group classes and began to train individuals. In 2000 I became a certified personal trainer through American Council on Exercise. At this time I had our third child while living in England. She was a large 10 pound baby and I was a petite 5'2" mom with a small waistline. After delivery I was looking at surgery to help repair the split in my abdominal muscles known as diastasis recti. My midwife introduced me to Pilates exercises. With determination I faithfully performed my exercises and was able to draw my abdominal muscles tighter and back to normal and forego the need for surgery. I am living proof that Pilates works to keep your core fit and trim. In 2002 I finished my Pilates training with Michelle Larson the founder of Core Dynamics in Santa Fe, New Mexico and founder of the Institiute for the Pilates Method.

In 2013 I started my own personal training business called Balanced Body Fitness. As a wife, a mother of four, a coach, and a fitness professional, I know how difficult it can be to find and maintain balance in life. My goal is to help my clients achieve balance. Physical, emotional, and spiritual balance create a body in harmony. When people find balance they feel great, look great, and handle life's stresses.
Keeping current with the latest trends in the fitness industry is vitally important. I recognize that staying innovative will help my clients maintain interest, motivation and coming back for more fun will ultimately help them achieve their goals. I incorporate the Pilates equipment, bosu, UGI, bender ball, stability ball, free weights, bands and more into my client's exercise programs. I have recently added MELT Method therapy at the studio. This is a wonderful addition to your wellness plan keeping the fascia hydrated and the body moving good and feeling good.
