Joanne’s passion and involvement in fitness and outdoor sports began in her early and school-age years. Her fitness career began at age 19 when she began teaching professionally and pioneered using music in her classes in a New Jersey health club franchise. Since then, she has educated thousands of people of all ages, sizes, and fitness levels about how to achieve better health and wellness through fitness. Men, women, and children ranging from highly competitive athletes seeking to improve results to novices seeking to develop healthy lifestyle behaviors have benefited from Joanne’s fitness and training programs, having achieved results and goals they never thought were possible.

From competitive athlete to first-time exerciser, Joanne is dedicated to helping her clients accomplish their personal fitness goals with a focus on educating them as to how they can maximize their training through healthy nutrition and a variety of exercise methods to achieve the best results. Joanne’s training philosophy is a strong belief in employing a mix of cardio conditioning, core conditioning and strength exercises with good nutrition to improve stamina, develop core strength & balance, and increase flexibility. She employs state-of-the-art training methods and techniques to help clients achieve their specific goals.

Joanne holds multiple and gold certifications in group exercise instruction, indoor cycling, cardio kickboxing, dance, Pilates-yoga and mind-body fitness. She is a personal trainer, workshop presenter, USA Cycling licensed coach, associate coach with Synergy Fitness Training, and an award-winning cyclist, having competed in the British National Cross-Country Mountain Biking Series, finishing third and qualifying for the World Masters Championships. As a former SAMS champion and NORBA racer consistently finishing on the podium, her racing experience exposed her to the many challenges faced in competition and gave her a true appreciation of not just the physical strength, stamina, and endurance needed to compete, but the mental strength and tenacity required to excel.

Joanne is always striving for excellence in coaching and maintains a high-level interest in continuing education, having attended over 250 national and international health & fitness workshops and seminars. It is this dedication to pursuing education and providing highly effective programs that led Joanne to create and launch her own programs in the U.S. and the U.K, presenting workshops such as Core Strength for Cyclists, Learn to Relax, Kickboxing Kids, and Practical Teaching Skills, which she has presented internationally.

Joanne is committed to helping others discover what they are capable of achieving through learning healthy behaviors and lifestyle changes to attain their fitness goals and ultimately perform at their best, whether it is in competition, or in their everyday lives.
