I have lived in Hilton Head since 2012, originally from Murrieta, California. Softball was my sport growing up. I was blessed to play Division 1 softball, as an outfielder and catcher, for 4 years at California State University in Long Beach, CA. While at CSULB, I earned a BA in Kinesiology with an emphasis in education.

Instead of going into teaching at a school, I went straight to training at a gym and I’ve been hooked ever since. I enjoy personal training, small group personal training as well as circuit style classes. I love to help people find what they enjoy doing for health and fitness.

When I am not working you can find me walking my dogs, indoor cycling, or grocery shopping - I love food!

Let me know if I can help you with that exercise you find challenging!

Hello All! I’m Joy Hughes newest member of the fitness staff. I am a former Elementary school teacher turned fitness instructor teaching Pilates, yoga & Health & Fitness K-8 at one of our island’s private schools. I have practiced Pilates for over 20 years and began my yoga practice over a decade ago. After seeing the benefits of Pilates and yoga in my own body and mind, I merged my passions for teaching and fitness so that I could share these benefits with others.  I am so excited to share my love of meaningful movement with YOU! I’ll see you on the mat!

I am dance fitness instructor, love music and dancing and with my class I get to do what I enjoy so much exercise.

I am a Fitness Instructor with over 18 years of experience and a Personal Trainer with 12 years of experience. I teach and am certified in several styles of classes: Yoga, weight classes, abs, cardio, and more. I have been active since I was a little child. I played sports throughout my life, but in high school, my passion became running. I learned the mental power of fitness and was inspired to earn a degree in Sports Psychology at Miami University. I used both fitness and psychology to give birth to 5 amazing children….there is never a boring day in my life! I moved here from Ohio eight years ago and never regret a day of it. To me, HHI is paradise and this community is so full of love. I am blessed to be able to do what I love in such an amazing place.

Namaste! I’ve taught yoga for over 15 years and have certifications in Hatha, Kundalini, Chair, Therapeutic, and Yoga for Kids/Teens. Creating specialized classes such as ‘Yoga for Golf/Tennis’ inspires me. I love to travel and have lived in Santa Fe, NM… Portland, OR… Seattle, WA… Thailand, India, and Italy. I’ve taught yoga to diverse groups ages 5-95 — ranging from seniors wanting more mobility, strengthening, and balance to HIIT yoga for adults, teen empowerment, and nature-based classes for kids.

Each of my classes gets customized on the spot. I believe in a non-competitive, inspiring, personalized approach — so everybody wins!
