Helping busy professionals build muscle, improve mobility and feel stronger with personalized one-on-one coaching. In 2014 Doug Yannessa, Sports Massage Therapist & Corrective Exercise Specialist, opened up Pro Balanced Wellness. A 2200 sq ft private studio in Kennesaw, at Shiloh rd and Wade Green rd, his main goal was to produce an environment where everyone was comfortable no matter if they were

there for a workout or massage. Since then we've helped hundreds of people in Kennesaw, reach their fitness goals and live with less pain and discomfort. Our core values speak to our services and our client experience:

- Listening & Understanding: Your voice is heard in our Studio, our job is to listen and understand why you came to us so we can give you the results you're looking for.

- Accountability & Support: Weight loss, building strength, living with less pain, or just being a little more healthy requires a fair amount of change on your part. Guiding you through each obstacle and celebrating every win is part of the job, so our service doesn't stop when you leave our studio, we're here for you!

- Balance: My personal favorite, our programs need to compliment your life. Not take them over, so we take the "all or nothing" mindset out of the equation and help you see gradual but excellent progress over time while still enjoying those finer things in life. Since 2014 we've added nutrition coaching to our core group of services and thanks to the global pandemic we now offer online nutrition and fitness programs so you never have to step foot in our studio.

RIGHT vs. WRONG: Lateral raises 💪
If you’re swinging the weights, shrugging your shoulders, or rushing through your reps, it may be time to lower the weight and reset your form.
For a more effective lateral raise:
✓ Keep a soft bend in your elbows
✓ Relax your shoulders away from your ears
✓ Lift with control instead of momentum
✓ Control the weight on the way back down
At ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition, we teach you how to train with purpose—so you understand what you’re doing and why it matters.

Are your workouts starting to feel like the same exercises on repeat?
Progressive overload helps you build strength by gradually increasing the weight, reps, sets, or challenge of your workouts. But progress doesn’t have to mean repeating the exact same routine indefinitely.
At ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition in Kennesaw, GA, we use multiple training styles to keep your workouts effective, engaging, and appropriate for your current fitness level.
If you live in Kennesaw or Cobb County and want a personalized plan—not another one-size-fits-all workout—message us today to schedule a consultation.
What usually stops you from staying consistent: boredom, uncertainty, or lack of results?

Are everyday movements starting to feel harder than they used to?
Mobility naturally tends to decrease as we age, but the right kind of movement can help you stay active, capable, and confident.
At ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition in Kennesaw, Georgia, we teach functional movement using stretching, foam rolling, squats, lunges, and proper movement patterns. Everything is tailored to your current ability—so you don’t have to “get in shape” before coming to us.
If you’re in Kennesaw or Cobb County and want to move better, message us today to schedule a consultation.

Your fitness program should fit your life—not force your life to fit a generic plan.
At ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition, most new clients begin with one of two personalized options:
💪 A 6-week program focused on building strength
⚖️ An 8-week program focused on building strength while working toward a weight-loss goal
Before we build your plan, we complete a consultation and movement assessment. We learn what you enjoy, what you don’t enjoy, what your body needs, and what your schedule can realistically support.
The result is a fitness program designed for you—not a copy-and-paste workout pulled from the internet.

CABLE OVERHEAD TRICEPS EXTENSION: RIGHT vs. WRONG 👇
If your elbows are flaring, your back is arching, or you’re using momentum to move the cable, you may be taking the focus away from your triceps.
Instead:
✔️ Keep your elbows pointed forward
✔️ Brace your core and keep your ribs down
✔️ Extend through your elbows
✔️ Control the weight in both directions
You don’t need the heaviest weight—you need a weight that allows you to perform every rep with intention.
Save this for your next upper-body workout. If you’re in Kennesaw or Cobb County and want personalized help with your form, message ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition with the word “FORM.”

Feeling unusually weak during your workout? Before assuming you’re out of shape or “just not good at exercise,” ask yourself one question: Did I eat before I came to the gym?
Sometimes, low workout energy is simply a sign that your body needs fuel. Easy-to-digest carbohydrates—like a banana or a couple of pieces of toast—can help provide the energy you need to train.
At ProBalanced Fitness & Nutrition, we help people in Kennesaw and Cobb County take a realistic, sustainable approach to exercise and nutrition—without unnecessary extremes.
Want help learning how to fuel your workouts and train with confidence? Send us a message with the word “FUEL” to get started.
