Weight-neutral Personal Training


​4 different ways:

1. Classic:
​live, in-person sessions

As a trainer Jodiann is respectful, dedicated, detached from the concept of performance and focused on the pleasure of being in my body.

2. Synchronous:
​live, online sessions

I enjoy intense workouts and love a trainer who pushes me past my comfort zone. JodiAnn does so while reminding us we don’t need to work out for 'the perfect beach bod' or 'burning fat' or 'losing weight.' It’s refreshing to be able to kick ass without beating myself up.

3. Individualized:
​customized programs & pre-recorded sessions

I’ve struggled recovering from ACL reconstruction two years ago. I’ve tried many exercise routines. The variability and availability of JodiAnn’s programs have made more difference than any thing else I have tried. I am even back to mountain biking with a strength and ability I wasn’t sure I would ever experience again.

4. Community:
staple programs & 100s of on-demand classes with accountability & support

​I have never been a part of a community that pushes me to move, laugh, and feel so confident before! It is such a badass feeling to be a part of something so positive!

What is weight-neutral personal training?

Weight-neutral, body liberation-oriented personal training is fitness programming that teaches a sustainable approach to physical activity that meets your unique goals, outside of intentional weight loss. In other words, it is all of the appropriately-challenging work without the side dish of body shame or weight stigma.

​In this work, we are interested in getting stronger and building endurance either for general activities of daily living or for specific movement goals like races and seasonal activities. This approach to personal training honors your holistic health, whole self, and your body's unique journey through this often challenging and difficult adventure of being human.
