Today on the balanced girl is Les Alfred. She is the creator of Balanced Black Girl and host of Balanced Black Girl Podcast. Les started her career in fitness as a personal trainer and fitness instructor in 2012 and launched her first blog The Balanced Berry in 2014 to share her love of fitness and nutrition with others. As a personal trainer and nutrition coach, Les spent over five years helping women reach their wellness goals in a balanced, sustainable way.

After taking some time off from fitness in 2018, she pivoted to introduce Balanced Black Girl Podcast which is a dedicated space for conversations about health, wholeness, and self-improvement from the perspectives of Black women.
