Joanne

Coach

Joanne discovered her passion for strength training when she was nearly 50 years old. It has completely transformed her physique and helped her combat the challenges of chronic pain and injury but she didn’t stop there! She took her passion to the next level in 2018 when she became a certified personal trainer and started strength coaching. She has complimented that by becoming a certified Precision Nutrition coach. Never short on enthusiasm, she’s excited for the opportunity to leverage her knowledge and passion to help others achieve the transformation that they are after. She lives east of Didsbury with her husband Gary and is the proud mother of three daughters, Kyla, Stacy, & Dani.
