ABOUT THE OWNER

---

My name is Leanne Routhier, owner and founder of The Balanced Bull. I am a licensed massage therapist, certified personal trainer, and Level 2 CrossFit coach. Born and raised in Dedham, Massachusetts, the values of hard work and self-sufficiency were instilled in me at a young age by my parents, both Irish immigrants, who independently make a living from their own trades. My passion for helping others improve their physical well-being came about through my experiences in improving my own personal health. I have learned, and continue to learn, so much about myself through my health and fitness journey, and my love for teaching compels me to help others to find the best version of themselves. My experiences have taught me that one of the most important factors in physical and mental wellness is balance. Balance between work and play, between regimen and spontaneity, between strain and recovery. Outside of work, more than anything I love spending time on the couch or on the trails with my husband, Ian, and our two pups, Milly and Theo. I enjoy being active; working out, hiking, playing golf, and bowling. And I also enjoy being slothful! I like to read, listen to nerdy health podcasts, binge watch shows I've seen a million times (ie. friends, the office, Schitts creek to name a few!) and spend time with my family and friends. The Balanced Bull represents me, my life, and the values I embrace.
