Ballard is crowded in two obvious lanes: low-impact strength (Lagree/reformer) and yoga-with-a-format, while the clearest value plays are broader gyms and all-purpose wellness spaces. I treated “roughly 2 miles” as the Ballard core plus immediate edge on Market/Leary/Ballard Ave, and I marked any public field I could not verify as unverified.
