Joanne’s love of movement began with ballet in childhood and has continued to evolve throughout her life. After returning to ballet as an adult, she rediscovered firsthand how movement could transform not only the body, but also the way you feel.

In 2011, Joanne began exploring Bootybarre® as a student and quickly became an avid fan of the method. Inspired by the strength, energy, and joy she found in the classes, she earned her Bootybarre certification in 2013 and has continued her education ever since. Over the years, she expanded her training to include yoga, strength and stretch, indoor cycling, and Plyoga, bringing elements of each discipline into her approach to fitness.

Joanne has made it her mission to guide, motivate, and encourage others to discover movement that makes them feel strong, confident, and—most importantly—happy. Her classes are energetic, welcoming, and designed to remind you that fitness can be both challenging and fun.

“Every day, movement is my happy place.”
