About the Instructor

Joyce Olender, a mother of three, moved to Mt. Pleasant in 2005 after having spent many summers vacationing in Charleston with her family. She is originally from New Jersey where she became a certified Johnny G Spinning Instructor and Power Pilates Trainer. In addition, she has a B.S. in Business Administration. Joyce has experience helping clients with special needs, such as pre and post natal conditions, as well as those recovering from injury, surgery or a stroke. After having a back injury several years ago, and seeing the results that Pilates gave her, she decided to learn all she can about training clients with back injuries and special needs. Her energy, patience and knowledge give her the ability to work with clients of all levels.
