Hi I’m Joanne Hayes,

My journey started on the gym floor. I was a participant in a group exercise class. I always thought it would be fun to motivate and train people, but never thought it could happen since I had 2 small children and my life was filled with school activities, homework and sports.

One day, I was approached by the group exercise director looking for members interested in going through the training and certification process. This was my chance, so I jumped at the opportunity! After getting certified by ACE Fitness, as a personal trainer, I spent years leading group exercise classes, fueled by the energy of a room full of people pushing their limits. In the years to follow, I expanded my reach to include bootcamps, yoga and personal training clients. I helped a lot of people get stronger while having fun! But over a decade of coaching taught me a vital lesson:

You can’t out exercise a poor diet.

I watched hardworking clients hit plateaus because the work they did in the gym wasn't being supported in the kitchen. That realization shifted my entire approach. I began reading and researching everything about nutrition. Once again I found myself going through the certification process to become a PN Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach. Precision Nutrition taught me there is no perfect diet, just consistent habits you incorporate into your everyday life and your wellness goals will follow.
