About Joy

Joy embarked on her Pilates journey after the birth of her first child. Having suffered for years with Morton’s neuroma and, finding no permanent relief from numerous medical attempts, Joy turned to Pilates. Joy’s Pilates training began with Classical Mat and eventually progressed to Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Trained Pilates incorporating the Reformer, the Chair and Cadillac. A transplant to Charlotte, NC from Johannesburg, South Africa, Joy joined Club Pilates 2 years ago and completed the Club Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Program. She then went on to complete the international accreditation, National Pilates Certification to become a Nationally Certified Pilates Instructor. Whilst Joy loves all things Pilates, she appreciates the value of using cross training, especially the value it brings to the body and muscle development. For this reason, she is Barre Above and TRX Certified too. When Joy is not at the studio, she spends time with her family, loves reading and playing golf, all of which are invigorated through Pilates.
