What People are Saying...

  • Mary
    Our 3 month training session has come to an end, however it is just the beginning. I am very pleased with my results, and not just the scale number, but a new found energy and confidence which comes when feeling better. Although you seem to have a soft and gentle demeanor, I tell people not to let that fool them. You take a personal interest in getting it right, whatever right is for that person. It's not a one size fits all, and you don't take that approach - you cutomize according to one's ability and help them get stronger. Thank you for that. No hesitation in recommending you, I look forward to future classes especially the "Beauty Bar".

    When I first contacted Joy, I was sceptical and unsure if she would be the right fit to whip my daughter into shape.  That didn’t last long.  Joy came to our home, introduced herself to us and explained the “plan” on getting our daughter from the couch to being physically fit.  Joy worked with our daughter three days a week for about two months and now comes once a week.  Joy has taught our daughter how to exercise properly, the importance of food, nutrition, and water. Mary has transformed into a person who enjoys exercise, enjoys good food, and now drinks more water.  We are a fit family who exercise regularly now and can’t thank Joy enough for introducing Mary to all forms of exercise. Thank you Joy.

    Joy has given me "joy" in exercise and training in not only my life, but also through the fun wiggles programs for my girls. Being a mother, she understands my struggles, but she keeps your goals in mind to keep you motivated. If you want your body and strength back, Joy is the one to help you. Highly recommended!!
