Introduction: Hello! My name is Johanna Wright, and I've been a certified personal trainer since 2011. I became a Master Trainer at 24 Hour Fitness before going independent in 2013. I hold three NASM training certifications (Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Fitness Nutrition Specialist), though my degrees are in creative writing and screenwriting. The app no longer offers training certs as an option to post above, which is why only one of mine is found there. I moved back to the city in 2018 after two years in New York getting an MFA at Columbia. Writing has helped me build solid communication skills as a trainer, and I love having a career separate from the literary and film worlds in which I get to share my passion for fitness. My athletic background is in gymnastics, and I found personal training to be a natural fit. I have worked with different clients of all skill levels, and I enjoy providing individual guidance and accountability to those who want to make fitness a lifestyle. It's humbling to be able to be part of my clients' journeys, and I have the utmost respect for those who entrust me with developing their fitness programs. I especially enjoy demystifying the gym for those intimidated by it, but I also love pushing well-seasoned workout veterans to new levels. Regardless of their experience, I meet people where they are. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am currently only available to train remotely. I normally have a fixed session rate, but because of the limitations of online training, I am happy to negotiate rates and am open to half-hour sessions. If you'd like to connect, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you!

Jo has been the best trainer I have had. We were able to work around my crazy schedule and get great training done. It is a pity she had to move away!

I was tremendously fortunate to have had Ms. Wright as my personal trainer. I would highly recommend Jo. She motivated me; she was always focused on what I was doing and offering suggestions on how to improve; she provided a great variety of exercises. I felt great after my sessions. She pushed me appropriately hard but never too hard. Jo was also a wonderfully interesting person to spend time with. I have moved from SF and can no longer train with Jo. That is my huge loss. I very much urge you to try training with Jo. You will not regret it!

I've tried out a number of different personal trainers over the years, and Johanna is my favorite. I go to the gym pretty often on my own and have been doing so for many years, but she was always able to show me different exercises or push me beyond where I would have pushed myself. We never had a session after which I wasn't happily sore. She tailored our sessions to suit my goals and kept track of everything in terms of sets, reps, weights, and overall progress. And even though I was working hard during each session, she was always interesting to talk to and the time flew by.

I have trained with Johanna for almost four years, she has truly made a huge difference in my life! She is a great personal trainer who has a lot of experience and passion for what she does. The way she constructs the workouts is really good! She is quick in adjusting an exercise to where you can get the most benefit without injuring yourself. She really helped me set my goals and reach them! I would really recommend her if you want a great trainer that can help you reach your goals!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the pandemic and my currently being able to train online only, my normal rates and policies listed below are negotiable. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions! When it is eventually safe to train in person again, my base rates are $100 per one-hour solo session and $125 per one-hour partner session. No discounts or package deals. If transportation fees are required, they will be added to the rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first meeting with each client is mainly to discuss your needs and goals and for you to get a feel for working with me. If you choose to continue, I will design a program based on everything we have discussed. My sessions incorporate resistance training (both weights and body weight), core work, and some cardio, though I often assign cardio as homework with specific parameters. I'll guide you through proper form and breathing to maximize your safety and results. We will also discuss the role nutrition plays in any fitness plan, but since I am not a licensed dietitian, I cannot legally prescribe a diet plan, etc. However, I have a nutrition certification and am happy to give basic pointers and to talk about this very important component. Always feel free to ask questions or give feedback!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
1. NASM CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) 2. NASM CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist) 3. NASM FNS (Fitness Nutrition Specialist) 4. CPR/AED
