Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Joi comes
from a very active and athletic family. From just a few months old,
she could be found splashing around at the local YWCA swimming
pool, still in diapers. Throughout the years, Joi was competitive
in a range of sports and, as a collegiate swimmer, was
awarded All-American status in her freshman year. With no
prior experience, Joi was eventually awarded a
full athletic scholarship to play water polo in a new Division
1 program at California State University of Northridge (CSUN).
Formerly employed at the historic Expo
Center, site of the 1932 Olympic games, Joi has always
impressed upon her community the importance of physical
activity as a part of daily lifestyle. She has both studied
and taught about the human body extensively including a
stint as a middle school health teacher in 2006-07. Early
on, she set her sights on one day having her own fitness and
health facility and in the spring of 2014, her hard
work, dedication and ceaseless prayers paid off
when she opened her first studio in South Los
Angeles, not far from the neighborhood where she grew up.
Joi's philosophy on fitness is that exercise is a
way to celebrate our bodies, not to punish them. To advance this
message, she takes special care when developing
programs for her clients, many of whom have been with her
since the beginning of her personal training career. In a
session with Joi, you can expect to improve not only
the physical aspects of your health but also the mental
and spiritual as this is not just her career, this is her
God-given gift and her ministry.
