The Joust! approach

Our certified class instructors and personal trainers have the know-how to help you get fit. We are dedicated to making sure you’re getting the most out of every workout, every time.

We challenge you to do what you think you can’t, because we know how to find the strength you didn’t know you had. We’re passionate about coaching you to harness that strength. We want you to be your best, strongest and fittest, in the game of sports and the game of life.

Our staff Registered Dietitian is certified and an athlete who specializes in advising athletes what to eat to have more power and energy. If it works for a triathlete competing in an Iron Man, imagine what her advice can do for the average person who just wants to be healthier.

Although working out to get in shape and to lose weight are huge motivating factors for me, I am most motivated by goals. I have learned that if I know I have an event I have to train for I am more motivated to work out so that I don’t bomb on race day. Also, it gives me great joy that my kids understand that their mommy exercises and they want to join me because they want to do what I am doing. I think the earlier we start getting children interested in sports and exercise the healthier they will be for the rest of their lives.

Best fitness tip: Find someone to workout with. It’s a lot harder to hit the snooze button when you know there is someone waiting for you! AND hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
