Joan Williams
Joan is a fitness professional in the Tampa Bay area, and has been instructing at gyms and wellness centers since 1981. She has owned and operated Joan's Body Shop, with fitness studios in Clearwater and Tarpon Springs.

In 1999 Joan was intrigued by the promises of Joseph Pilates that stated: "In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in twenty you will see the difference and in thirty you will have a whole new body." Joan says: "Having taught aerobics and toning for almost 20 years, I was curious about the practice, because I always felt that the truth about exercise was being aware of the form and control of one's body. I was pleasantly surprised that Pilates offered me much more than I ever anticipated. Feeling lighter, more relaxed and at the same time stronger, I was sold on the very gentle form of exercise. It was so wonderful to feel rejuvenated after each and every class. Pilates isn't 'mechanical'. It should be practiced with your mind's eye on all the basic principles, particularly emphasizing movement from the core."
