Meet The Instructor
Joyce Lazier, a philosophy and theatre teacher, was raised by parents who believed in physical education. Her mother taught PE and her dad coached a variety of high school sports. Encouraged to participate in sports, Joyce played softball in middle school, and ran track and played volleyball in high school. In college Joyce joined a gym and began learning about bodybuilding, entered and won third place in a novice bodybuilding competition. During her graduate school days, Joyce dabbled in trail bike riding and earned a green belt in Karate. In her late 20s Joyce ran several road races, trained for and completed the Marine Corps Marathon. Trained and mentored by Jule Jageman, Joyce currently possesses a myriad of group fitness certifications listed below. Expanding her decades of classroom teaching knowledge to the fitness world, Joyce loves teaching group fitness classes and focuses on correct form, balanced muscle development, and connecting the mind with the body. Joyce also believes that exercising correctly refocuses the mind and makes for better versions of ourselves. Life struggles through marriage, raising children, and divorce have solidified for Joyce the concept that the health of your mind is reflected in the health of your body and vice versa. By mentally pushing yourself through perceived physical boundaries, you strengthen both your mind and body. Wherever you are in your personal journey of growth and improvement, Joyce will help you evolve into a better version of yourself. We are happy to welcome you to our small, unique, varied, boutique community.
