I live in Lynchburg, Va. 🙂 and have been in the fitness industry for over 38 years training, encouraging, coaching, mentoring both individuals and groups. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Health/Physical Education. I keep current with my Personal Training and Nutrition Coaching certifications, as well as I am a Corrective Exercise and Senior Fitness Specialist through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). I have helped people to lose weight, strengthen, condition, tone up, increase in cardiovascular strength and endurance as well as gain balance and flexibility. I have experience training both male and female ages 3-93 and now I am set up to train clients Virtually! I still will train in my studio, outside, in your office, or your home as well if you are in my 20 mile radius. I will travel to get you set up to train Virtually (if needed). The consultation and assessments are conducted before “sessions” begin in order for me to make your program “personal”. Personal Training Prices range with a base of $45 for in-person and $40 for remote/virtual. My smallest package is eight sessions. Please ask about discounts for first timers and referrals!

Working with Joy has been so amazing. She is approachable, well educated, motivating, and truly caring. Throughout training she explains the benefits of the exercises, pushes you, and also helps incorporate healthy lifestyle habits into your routine. Throughout my past months with Joy my confidence has increased, and I have a lot of fun working out.

I love working with Joy. She’s very encouraging, very knowledgeable, gives great tips on nutrition and dieting and gives you a good workout. She’s tough but in a nice way. I’m happy to start but glad when it’s over. I truly have come a long way with her guidance. I would highly recommend her. You won’t regret it.
