Doug Yannessa
NASM CES, CPT, MMP, PN1

Doug began his career in the fitness industry in 2007, where he quickly discovered a passion for helping others move and feel their best. In 2012, he became a licensed sports massage therapist, and by 2014, earned his Medical Massage Practitioner license, deepening his expertise in human movement and corrective exercise. His training philosophy focuses on making every workout efficient, purposeful, and safe, maximizing results while minimizing risk of injury. In 2015, Doug founded Pro Balanced Fitness & Nutrition, continually enhancing the client experience through education, innovation, and advanced coaching techniques. Nearly a decade later, he’s built a premier private training studio in Kennesaw dedicated to personalized, results-driven fitness. Doug’s mission moving forward is to mentor passionate fitness professionals and continue setting the standard for personal training excellence.

"I can promise you that you've done harder things in life than eat clean and exercise, and I can't wait to show you that."

Ali Staples

NASM CPT, CES

Ali is a Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist who will be graduating in December with her B.S. in Health Sciences. She specializes in training women in all stages of life, including postpartum, the active aging population, as well as young female athletes. She is also certified in Corrective Exercise with NASM so she is proficient in working with people who are overcoming an injury or simply trying to have pain-free movement in their daily lives. As a lifelong athlete she understands the importance of listening to your body and having self compassion in your journey. Her clients goals are just as important to her if not more.

"I enjoy every step my clients and I take together to reach their goals."

Brian Skouras

Certified Personal Trainer

Brian’s passion for endurance sports began at 19, when he joined a semiprofessional cycling team in Italy — an experience that sparked his lifelong commitment to pushing limits and personal growth. After returning to the U.S., he competed in mountain biking and earned sponsorships from brands like Motorola and Bud Light. Since joining Pro Balanced Fitness & Nutrition in 2024, Brian has helped dozens of clients in Kennesaw and surrounding areas reach their fitness goals through customized, results-driven coaching. In 2025, he released his first book, One Life, sharing the lessons and habits that have shaped his journey. Endurance sports have taught him the importance of discipline, resilience, and consistency — values he brings to every training session. Whether coaching competitive athletes or beginners, Brian’s mission is to help each client discover their strength and achieve more than they thought possible.

"I really believe that with the right mindset and approach, anyone can find their stride and do amazing things. So, let's team up and push ourselves to new heights together!"

Kyle Bice

NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Kyle’s journey with Pro Balanced Fitness & Nutrition began as a client, where her curiosity and drive to learn quickly ignited a passion for health and fitness. What started as personal growth turned into a professional calling, leading her to become a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. She’s now on the fast track to earning advanced specializations in Nutrition and Corrective Exercise within her first two years of training. Through fitness, Kyle found renewed confidence that carries into every area of her life — as a wife, mother, employee, and friend. She believes this stage of life isn’t a time to settle, but an opportunity to reinvent yourself and grow stronger. Now, as part of the Pro Balanced Fitness & Nutrition team, Kyle is dedicated to helping others unlock their potential and become the best version of themselves.

"You will never understand how much someone believes in you until you can believe in yourself."
