In an unlikely pairing, of indulgence and health, former Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova joined hands with fitness brand Bala. Sharapova invested in the company along with American billionaire Mark Cuban during the company’s appearance on the popular reality show ‘Shark Tank’.
Since announcing her retirement from tennis earlier this year, Sharapova has thrown herself into managing her portfolio of investments as well as promoting her own candy company, Sugarpova.

As a stakeholder in the Bala, Sharapova teamed up with the brand to promote their products and her candy as one, offering a limited-time offer of complimentary sweet treats from Sugarpova along with each purchase made from the Bala website.
The former tennis champ served up some gorgeous retro looks in her photoshoot to publicise this partnership with the fitness brand. The 33-year-old posed with some of Bala’s exercise equipment in an ’80s-inspired shoot complete with an old television set and outfits to match.
“Spent summer at home doing Bala workouts and eating candy so this felt very natural,” Sharapova wrote of her association with the brand and their bundle offer. In the latest Bala promo, the five-time Slam champion is dressed in vintage workout attire and a retro feathered-back hairdo.
The look is accessorized with cotton candy Bala bangles on her wrist and a Bala bar on the floor. The ex-tennis champ also posed while standing inside a pool wearing a hot pink bikini top and blue trousers, while holding some Bala equipment.
