Joyce Schaer

Fitness has been a central part of Joyce’s life since childhood when she was a competitive swimmer and diver. As an adult she competed in marathons before an injury ended her marathon training. She began practicing Pilates in 2016 to enhance her personal fitness program and fell in love with the Classical Method honoring the integrity and teachings of Joseph Pilates. Since 2018, Joyce has shared her love and knowledge of Pilates as an instructor to help her clients reap the benefits of creating a strong mind-body connection. Her goal is to help clients see real change in their bodies, feel stronger and be more confident in their everyday lives. In addition to instructing clients and group classes, she also teaches aspiring instructors, mentoring, training and certifying them at all levels.
