Instructor • Movement Enthusiast • Wellness Advocate

Hey fabulous people—I’m Joi!Born and raised in New York, my wellness journey truly began when life brought me to the stunning mountains of Colorado in 1996. But it wasn’t all fresh air and scenic hikes. After facing serious health challenges, gaining weight, and undergoing back surgery, my surgeon gave it to me straight: “You need to get in shape.”So I got to work. I lost my first 25 pounds, found a new rhythm in the gym, and eventually discovered the pure joy of Zumba. Dancing my way through workouts, I dropped a total of 72 pounds—and felt alive again. Naturally, I took the next step and became a certified Zumba instructor, sharing the fun and fitness with others.Then along came Pilates, and everything changed. Not only did it transform my body, but it also rebuilt my strength, improved my flexibility, and gave me stamina I didn’t know I had. The studio owner noticed my passion and invited me to become a Pilates instructor—and I never looked back. I earned my certification and even changed my college major to Public Health, driven by a deeper calling to help others live healthier, fuller lives.My mantra? Pilates is for EVERYONE. Whether you're just beginning or already well on your way, I’m here to guide, support, and cheer you on. Together, we’ll unlock the power of movement—and have a blast doing it.
