Training Philosophy:

I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor and Corporate Fitness Consultant
in Eldersburg, MD with over 25 years experience in the Health and Fitness Fields. I hold certifications in
Fitness Nutrition, Pre and Post Natal Exercise and as a Spinning/Cycle Instructor. I started teaching Group
Exercise in 1982 and I have been an ACE Certified Personal Trainer since the early 90’s. Currently, I teach
a Stability Ball Class, a Butts and Guts Class and an Indoor Cycling Class. I can take any of these class
techniques and work them into a more personal teaching experience. I have done research in the fields
of Older Adult Fitness; Exercise during Menopause; Posture, Core and Spine Stabilization Exercises;
Stability and Balance Training (Proprioceptive Exercise) as well as Flexibility Training. I work with clients who have Arthritis, Back Problems, Balance Issues, Fibromyalgia and Lupus, as well as other medical challenges. Together we work hard to overcome these challenges. I can be your door to better health! One-on-one training is a personal experience and I love helping people achieve their personal goals. Whether that is walking up the stairs without having to stop and rest, relieving some of their low back pain with a good stretch or helping them run their first 5K road race, it is such a great experience. I know I can help anyone get on the road to better health and make it fun all along the way.

What Her Client's Say...

“I have been training on and off with Joan for many years. Joan keeps me consistent with my workouts
and she motivates me to work way harder than I ever would on my own. Joan also makes me do lots of exercises that she would never do on my own, like a lot of core and balance work, which has helped strengthen my back. If Joan was not training me, I would make every excuse not to get to the gym.” -Beth Shotwell
