Meet Your Fitness Coach
Joanna Sharafinski
Joanna isn’t your typical trainer, she’s a veteran, a certified personal trainer, and a coach who deeply understands what it’s like to lose alignment and fight to get it back.
With over 16 years in the military and 8+ years in the fitness world, she brings a blend of structure, compassion, and real-life wisdom to every session. She’s not here to shout, shame, or push you past your limits, she’s here to help you feel strong, supported, and proud of what your body can do.
Joanna’s style is corrective, empowering, and rooted in functionality. She’s trained all types of bodies and believes that your form matters, your feedback matters, and your feeling safe in movement matters most.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by a trainer or left behind in a workout class, this is your chance to experience something totally different.
