About Leslie Folkes

“I’m going to date myself by revealing that I began my journey into the fitness industry as a 17year old “Aerobics Instructor” at a local health club during my summer breaks from college—Olivia Newton-John's “Physical” is embedded in my brain! My 35 years (Gulp!) in the fitness industry includes 5 years as the Civilian Director of Health & Fitness Programming at a US Military Base; 20 years as an equipment Sales Associate for two of the most innovative and iconic fitness products in the fitness & Wellness industry; Implemented and managed corporate fitness programs; and, all the while started a personal and small group training business in my garage. Now, 20+ years later that business is located next to my home in a converted barn called Balance & Beyond, where my clients have grown ageless with me. I'm especially proud to say that some of my clients have been exercising with me for over 20 years."
