How BIM Changed My Game And My Life

I was never a "gym person.” I played lots of sports growing up, but the gym always felt intimidating, until I met Andrea, who encouraged me to try out BIM. To my surprise, I didn’t feel intimidated at all. In fact, I felt like I had become part of a family.

BIM changed my life by helping me manage my hip injury and get back to doing the things I truly love coaching and playing golf.

As a golf coach, I see firsthand how important strength training is to understanding a golf swing. When golfers try to move their bodies at speeds of 70mph or more, without the strength, flexibility, or support they need, it can be frustrating.

After years of coaching, I believe this more than ever: understanding your body, what it can and can’t do, is crucial to improving your golf swing.
Today’s world of social media makes it even trickier. With so many golf and fitness tips floating around, it can feel like walking into a grocery store when you're starving—you’ll grab anything hoping it helps. If you’re slicing the ball, you’ll watch every Instagram video you can find searching for that magic tip.

But the real solution isn’t on a screen. It’s by building a team of experts who understand your body, your goals, and how to help you reach them. BIM has been exactly that for me—and I’m grateful every day.

For anyone who might feel nervous about joining a gym like BIM, I’d say this:

BIM is unlike any gym I’ve ever been a member of. The coaches are welcoming, and the programs are personalized, so you never have to worry about keeping up with what everyone else is doing.

The number of participants at any given time is small, which removes the intimidation factor. Most people are focused on their own routines, so there’s a real sense of privacy—but at the same time, a strong sense of community develops naturally if you want to engage with others.

Many members are also returning from injuries, which creates a shared experience and leads to some unique bonds forming.

The follow-up and support have also been exceptional. Strategic check-ins with the owner helped ensure my needs were being met, and I’ve never experienced that level of commitment from another gym.

The most rewarding change in my life since joining BIM has been returning to hockey.

I lived in California for over a decade, during which I wasn’t able to play. When I moved back to Canada, I was excited to rejoin my old team and return to something I’d done since I was four years old.

Unfortunately, I broke my wrist almost immediately after getting back on the ice. At 63, I knew it was going to be a long road back, but I set a goal of returning within four months.

Thanks to Michael’s help, I was able to beat that goal. Rejoining my team was incredibly exciting.

Balance In Motion testimonial 1

I tore my ACL and MCL while skiing on Boxing Day in 2018. Though I was gradually recovering, I was motivated to get better and knew I needed additional guided support.

I figured there was no harm in going to BIM, and I am really glad I did! Andrea was very responsive and attentive to my needs. She was knowledgeable and supportive during our meeting, she even offered to write me an at-home program to follow until I got clearance from my physio to start sessions.

Working with BIM has kept me accountable, and my workouts have become much more consistent. I’m an avid cyclist and have definitely noticed a difference in how much stronger I’ve become on the bike. I also have an old shoulder injury, and I experience fewer aches and pains since starting at BIM.

Most importantly, I ultimately decided not to pursue ACL surgery and was able to rebuild my strength and confidence enough to return to skiing less than a year after my injury.

The staff at BIM is amazingly supportive and attentive to your needs. If you want to make a change, give BIM a try!
