Balanced Body, the worldwide leader in Pilates equipment and education, is excited to announce the appointment of Bill Auvil as its new Sales Director, tasked with propelling the brand’s next growth phase.

Auvil, an accomplished sales executive, joins Balanced Body® following what has already been a remarkable career. Most recently, he served as Sales Director at Golf Pride, a company renowned for its top-tier golf performance equipment. There, he held key business management responsibilities, from maximising profits to leveraging team strengths to enhance overall company performance.

He played a crucial role in developing Golf Pride®’s global distribution strategy, revamping the global sales structure, negotiating long-term partner selections and agreements, and significantly increasing growth initiatives.

Reflecting on his new role, Auvil states: “Balanced Body® stands out as the global innovator and leader in its field, a position that is key to maintain and maximise as Pilates undeniably continues to experience such a surge in popularity around the world.

“I have spent the last decade in global roles, working directly with customers, distributors and clients, driven by challenge and undeterred by obstacles, always committed to raising the standards of excellence. I aim to leverage my expertise and experience to help Balanced Body® achieve even greater success during this prosperous time.”

With proven success in leading global strategies and significantly boosting sales and profitability, Auvil will play a pivotal role in shaping Balanced Body’s® sales strategy worldwide. He will capitalise on the opportunities presented by the Pilates boom and explore new avenues and markets for growth.

Ken Endelman, Balanced Body founder and CEO, adds: “Auvil has an impressive track record and brings invaluable knowledge, experience and expertise to the Balanced Body® management team. His ability to blend strong interpersonal, sales and strategic skills is unparalleled and he infuses Balanced Body with a fresh energy and insight in this exciting high growth period.
He has been with us for just under a month and he’s already become an integral part of our dynamic team as we embark on a new chapter in strategy, expansion and innovation.”

Testimonial
" Every Studio we’ve opened since 2007, we’ve equipped with Balanced Body Reformers - including our new Kings Cross flagship studio. There are good reasons why they remain our brand of choice. One, the relationship we have with Ken, and the Balanced Body team. And two, the equipment you use says a lot about you as a brand. They’re not cheap but you absolutely get what you pay for. Their reformers are rock solid, easy to adjust and practically indestructible - despite some of our clients’ best efforts!"
– Justin Rogers, Creative Director, Ten Health & Fitness
Testimonial
Balanced Body equipment was essential in providing LifeTime customers with premium Pilates experiences. They are exceptional in terms of quality, timeliness, and customer service. Our account manager provided on-time consultation, equipment, and parts delivery for our 200+ locations. Balanced Body even customized a reformer to meet the needs of our discerning Pilates instructors! I highly recommend Balanced Body as the best Pilates partner.
– Eduardo Perez, consultant, Pilates club industry and former Director of Pilates, LifeTime Inc
