personal training & muscle activation
strength for the life you want to live
Being strong isn't about looking a certain way. It's about having a body that supports your life — one that allows you to move, work, travel, play and meet the physical demands of everyday living with greater confidence.
JoAnn's approach to personal training is individual. Your program is built around your body, your current abilities, your history and what you want to be able to do.
personal training
Private, one-on-one sessions may focus on:
- Strength
- Balance and stability
- Functional movement
- Maintaining physical capability as you age
- Returning to activity after periods of inactivity
- Building confidence in your body
The goal isn't to turn exercise into another obligation. It's to help you develop a stronger, more capable relationship with your body.
sessions are one hour
muscle activation technique
Sometimes the issue isn't simply that a muscle needs to become stronger. Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) is a systematic approach for identifying muscles that may not be functioning optimally and helping restore their ability to contract effectively.
JoAnn uses MAT as individualized hands-on work and, when appropriate, as a complement to personal training.
outer strength is part of the practice
We sometimes talk about physical health as though the body were separate from the rest of us. It isn't. How we move, eat, rest and care for our bodies affects how we experience ourselves and how we meet the world.
Physical strength is one part of becoming a stronger, more conscious human being.
