Core offering

Groups for Balance is a Dutch multidisciplinary lifestyle and healthcare center that delivers physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, lifestyle coaching, pediatric physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, and supervised fitness training under a single integrated practice. The core offering revolves around three pillars: Combined Lifestyle Intervention (GLI) programs for adults with overweight/obesity, evidence-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation for injuries and chronic conditions, and supervised group fitness/personal training. Treatments are reimbursed via Dutch health insurers for insured care, while corporate wellness modules and room rental generate non-insured revenue.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Bergman Clinics: Bergman Clinics is one of the largest Dutch private clinic groups offering orthopaedics, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation services. Comparable as a Dutch clinical care provider with physiotherapy and rehabilitation offerings, but operates at much larger scale with a broader portfolio including elective surgery.
• Basic-Fit: Basic-Fit is Europe's largest low-cost fitness chain with significant Dutch presence, offering memberships and group classes including some lifestyle-related programming. Comparable as a Dutch fitness operator with subscription-based service delivery to GFB's GFB FIT offering, though operating at vastly larger scale and as a pure fitness business.
• TopZorg: TopZorg is a Dutch care organization operating multidisciplinary practices across multiple regions. Comparable to GFB in operating community-embedded Dutch healthcare practices, but at broader scale and with greater regional diversification.
• Xpert Clinics: Xpert Clinics is a Dutch chain of specialized orthopaedic and hand-therapy clinics offering advanced treatments including shockwave and EPTE. Comparable to GFB's specialized muscle-tendon care pathway and rehabilitation focus, but operates as a larger specialized network rather than a generalist multidisciplinary practice.

Others

• NPI (Nederlands Paramedisch Instituut): NPI is a Dutch institute providing paramedical training, consulting, and quality programs to physiotherapists and lifestyle professionals. Relevant as an ecosystem participant that supports Dutch physiotherapy and lifestyle practice development, including GLI-aligned training pathways similar to those GFB practitioners access.

Direct peers

• FysioHolland: FysioHolland is a large Dutch network of physiotherapy practices offering general physiotherapy, manual therapy, and lifestyle-related services across multiple locations. Highly comparable to GFB as a multi-location Dutch physiotherapy provider, though GFB's deeper multidisciplinary (GLI, ergotherapy, dietetics) and pediatric therapy offering differentiates it.
• Co-Med: Co-Med is a Dutch multidisciplinary primary care organization running multi-specialty practices integrating GP, physiotherapy, and lifestyle services. Comparable to GFB in its multidisciplinary under-one-roof approach and Dutch healthcare focus, though at larger scale and with broader primary care involvement.
