Balanced Health is a personal training and nutrition coaching business run by Dan (Daniel Hibbs), focused on helping people become healthier, stronger, and more confident versions of themselves. The approach covers the full picture — movement, nutrition, mindset, and accountability — rather than just exercise in isolation.
Dan works with clients one-on-one, in small groups, and through structured online programmes. Goals range from weight loss and muscle gain to event preparation, rehabilitation, and general health and wellbeing. Testimonials from clients consistently highlight Dan's enthusiasm, knowledge, and ability to keep people motivated and progressing.
Alongside personal and group training, Balanced Health runs a signature 12-week Accountability Transformation Programme delivered through the Balanced Health App, which includes personalised training plans, meal plans, training videos, a daily food tracker, and direct one-on-one communication with Dan. The business also offers nutrition coaching as a standalone service and produces a range of protein-based snacks under the Balanced Health Better Foods label — naturally sweetened protein balls available for ongoing monthly orders. Gift vouchers are available for all services. Dan can be contacted for a complimentary consultation.
Balanced Health is the personal training and health coaching business of Dan Hibbs, built around a simple but demanding idea: that lasting change comes from addressing training, nutrition, and mindset together — not one at a time, and not in isolation.
Dan works with clients across a wide range of goals. The intake form on the website lists the options plainly: fat loss, muscle gain, performance and competition, health and wellbeing, nutrition, and injury rehabilitation. The breadth is intentional. Dan's philosophy is that the goal doesn't define the method as much as the person does — clients who come in with a modest target often find themselves reaching for more, as several testimonials describe.
The business model has three main entry points: joining the Facebook community, signing up for the Accountability Transformation Programme, or booking personal or group training sessions. Nutrition coaching is available as a standalone service or woven through the other programmes. The first step for all of them is a complimentary consultation — contact via phone, email, or Zoom.
This is the signature structured offering. The programme runs for six weeks of active coaching, followed by a further six weeks of app access — twelve weeks in total, structured to move from guided change into sustainable habit.
During the first six weeks, clients get a personalised training plan, a meal plan, and direct one-on-one communication with Dan through the Balanced Health App. The app also includes training videos, a daily food tracker, and accountability prompts. The goal of the second six weeks is consolidation — keeping the momentum without needing the same level of hand-holding, so the new habits become the new normal.
The programme has run as a challenge format with prizes, and past participants have included people with young children, people returning from injury, and people who had tried other programmes without results. One reviewer noted completing it with five kids in tow, the youngest five months old.
Personal training with Dan covers the full range from foundational movement to advanced programmes. Sessions are available one-on-one, with a friend or small group, or as part of a larger group setting. The approach emphasises learning and understanding rather than just following instructions — Dan has described his goal as helping people acquire "the tools needed to become that stronger version of you."
Nutrition coaching at Balanced Health centres on intuitive eating — learning to listen to the body's signals and make informed choices rather than following rigid rules. Dan's stated approach is that food should be enjoyed, and that the goal is to "live to eat" rather than treating eating as a chore. Personalised nutrition plans are developed based on individual goals and current habits.
Alongside the coaching services, Balanced Health produces a line of protein-based snacks under the Better Foods label. The current product is protein balls — naturally sweetened, protein-based, and designed to serve as a breakfast option, pre- or post-workout fuel, or a healthier late-night treat. The range is priced from $27 to $53, with monthly ordering now available for regulars.
Gift vouchers covering any Balanced Health service are available through the website.
