Personal Training
Are you completely new to exercise? Or perhaps you have worked out and been active your entire life? No matter what your fitness level is, you will be appropriately challenged during your training sessions. Communication is the key and Joanna will be your coach, guiding you along your fitness journey and empowering you with movement skills that translate from one workout to the next as you progress towards your fitness goal.
Specialty Services
While all sessions are considered Personal Training, additional services (Pilates, Injury Prevention & Reconditioning, and Sports Specific Training) are available above and beyond general fitness. Your sessions can focus exclusively on one specialty or encompass any combination of these services depending on your goals, interests, and physical needs.
Pilates
The STOTT PILATES® method is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. STOTT PILATES exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and re-balance the muscles around the joints. This involves placing more emphasis on pelvic and scapular stabilization, and integration of all the parts of the body into one. As well, preparatory exercises and modifications allow the technique to be appropriate for many different body types and abilities, making it applicable to sport-specific training and everyday life. Training sessions are powered by STOTT PILATES® equipment.

Yoga
Yoga was developed up to 5,000 years ago in India as a comprehensive system for wellbeing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. While Yoga is often equated with Hatha Yoga, the well-known system of postures and breathing techniques, Hatha Yoga is only a part of the overall discipline of Yoga. Today, many millions of people use various aspects of Yoga to help raise their quality of life in such diverse areas as fitness, stress relief, wellness, vitality, mental clarity, healing, peace of mind and spiritual growth.
