what runstrong clients are saying...
"I never thought of myself as an athlete, let alone a runner. JoAnn and her running group have changed all that for me. I am able to go at my own pace, which is so important when working full time with two kids, but JoAnn is always there with that little bit of push that I need to get me to go a bit faster and a bit further. The women are so supportive and helpful and are always there to keep me going. It's been a pleasure to get up, yes, even at 5:30 am, to run with these women." ~ Stephanie
“I just want to say that JoAnn is an amazing trainer. I have taken both her be-strong classes as well as her running group sessions. I have known her for years and she has improved my body condition as well as my running skills to a new level. I never thought I could finish the broad street in less than 90 minutes. I used to run but JoAnn has a way of getting the most out of you. I highly recommend JoAnn as a running trainer and/or a body strong trainer." ~ Yoonie
"JoAnn and the runstrong group are the reason I get up at 5am during the week! JoAnn has made me a better and more informed runner, and the runstrong runners are both supportive and motivating- I'm so glad I joined!" ~ Annie
JoAnn Meyer
Owner | Trainer
I have been successfully helping people feel better, get stronger, and live a healthier life since 2006. In 2005, I earned my ISSA personal trainer certification. In 2008, I earned my first running coach certification and most recently, in June 2013, I added the RRCA running coach certification to my resume. My love for fitness and running has inspired me to share my knowledge. My overall focus is on good form and proper techniques (lifting and running) to help you reach your fitness goals. Even though I grew up in central New Jersey and I will always be a Jersey Girl at heart, my home is in Havertown.
I have been running since middle school when one morning, my mom informed me that I would be trying out for the winter track team. Since that day, I’ve been hooked. Running and healthy living are a big part of my world. I would love to help you reach your goals! Contact me today.
