It's not just your company. The way people work is changing faster than ever.
Your team still has deadlines to meet, and technology isn't slowing down.
But who's helping the people doing all this work take care of themselves?
How HPB Was Born
We realized people needed more than mindset advice. And more than exercise.
Hey, I'm Carlos Del Rio, M.A., one of the founders of High Performance Balance.
I spent years working in psychology, human behavior, and education, helping people make meaningful changes in schools, homes, and clinics.
But I wanted to take that work further.
I wanted to help people take better care of themselves in the places where they spend so much of their lives, including at work.
That's When I Met Alex & Sean
I began collaborating with Alex and Sean Courtney, the brothers behind Twice as Fit
Then I began collaborating with Alex and Sean Courtney, the twin brothers behind Twice as Fit.
I came from psychology and behavior. They came from movement and physical wellbeing.
And we noticed something:
The people struggling mentally were often struggling physically, too.
Different struggles. Connected problems.
So we asked ourselves:
What if we helped people take care of both?
That question became High Performance Balance in 2024.
Over the past two years, we've brought together specialists with decades of combined experience who share one belief:
People shouldn't have to sacrifice their health and happiness to perform at a high level.
