About me

I am Joana

Hello and Welcome to my Online FIT Studio,

I’m Joana V, a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and yoga teacher, proudly affiliated with the Yoga Alliance. My greatest passion is empowering busy women and moms to live fitter, healthier, and happier lives. My mission? To make fitness both affordable and accessible. Creating home workouts is how I show love and care.

This is my personal journey to fitness and well-being. Growing up, I wasn’t the sporty type, nor did I ever feel particularly skinny. I wasn’t overweight either, just an average girl who never quite felt comfortable in her own skin. My weight fluctuated slightly, but I relied on my youth to maintain some sense of fitness without much effort.

Everything changed with my first pregnancy. I gained over 25 kilos (yes, I was quite big!). Since I’ve always disliked dieting or restrictive eating, I turned to exercise as my way forward. Driven by the desire to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes, I began working out at home while my baby napped in the afternoons.

Then something amazing happened—after just one month, I started seeing results. My body was changing, and I was falling in love with the process of taking care of myself. It wasn’t just about looking better; it was about feeling better, too. I started making healthier food choices, exploring new forms of exercise, and diving deep into learning about fitness and well-being.

Within a few months, I looked and felt stronger, more energized, and more alive than ever before. But the real transformation wasn’t just physical—it was in my mindset and the joy I found in taking care of myself.

When I became pregnant again, I continued exercising, reading, researching, and growing. My second motherhood journey was an entirely different experience because of the knowledge I had gained and my new understanding of what it means to live a truly healthy life.

Now, 10 years later, I’m a successful personal trainer, Pilates and Yoga teacher with a singular purpose: to inspire, motivate, and support other women on their path to lasting transformation.

With love and gratitude,
Joana V
