Why We Closed

As many of you know, Kelly and I are sisters. Although we have different educational backgrounds and careers, we have always supported each other in everything the other did. When we embarked on our (first ever) joint adventure in Tryon a year ago, we had one shared goal in mind – to provide products and services to help people lose weight, gain muscle and live their best life. We didn’t know if a smoothie, protein & energy shop would even BE successful in such a small town, but we thought if nothing else, it would be brand recognition for her medical practice. What we did not count on was how this town embraced us – The strangers who became  friends, the limitless opportunities to participate in vibrant town events and networking with fellow merchants. Tryon truly is a one-of-a-kind place.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough foot traffic and sales to make the business profitable. In addition, only seven months after opening, I was involved in a car accident that resulted in Post Concussion Syndrome and possible spinal cord damage. Because of this, I have had to focus on my doctor’s visits, physical therapy and ongoing recovery. That is why our hours would change sporadically. This severely impacted sales and quiet frankly, with this concussion, just running the business became overwhelming. This perfect storm of circumstances lead to our decision to close Tryon Rejuvenation Station. 

That said, Kelly’s practice has continued to grow. In 2026, she plans to expand into offering Direct Primary Care services in addition to the weight loss, IV Therapy, BHRT and other services she already provides. To help provide her patients the absolute best care possible, I chose to go back to school for Phelebotomy and Medical Assistant certifications, beginning in January. I am also offering personal training and nutrition coaching services.

We hope the Tryon community continues to support us as we expand Balanced Weight Loss & Wellness. We love this “quirky” town, it’s people and all the things that make this place special.
