Dr. Brian Klepzig is one of our favorites! With training in eastern medicine, acupuncture, and functional medicine, Dr. Klepzig provides a unqiue perspective on the way that the body operates and works towards balance. When Dr. Ballard feels that there is something more going on, she often looks to Dr. Klepzig to do his non-invasive, pain-free testing to provide additional insight, that won't cost an arm and a leg. Aside from his decades of experience, he may likely be the nicest provider you ever meet!

Hannah Shull - ACE Personal Trainer
Hannah has been an ACE personal trainer since 2016. She works with her clients on reaching their health and fitness goals through her fitness app. Over the years, her training style has developed into a functional approach, focusing on the body as a whole so her clients can be better equipped to perform their day to day activities. Activities like walking up a flight of stairs, picking up a toddler, sitting at a desk, or meeting the demands of your job can become difficult and painful if the right body mechanics aren’t being practiced and if muscle imbalances aren’t being addressed. Helping her clients feel better is her number one goal!
She offers two pre-made programs on her fitness app, FIT for LIFE, which is a functional program with strength and conditioning and BUILT for LIFE, which focuses more on muscle gain. She also offers personal training packages for a more individualized option with meal plans.
