REAL WORLD RESULTS
I started with JoAnn a little over a year ago. I’m never one to ask for help – I always think I can figure things out on my own – but when it came to my weight loss journey, I knew I needed help. I was scared about parking because I knew I’d wind myself if I parked too far away from my destination. I was scared to go clothes shopping because I didn’t want to know my size. I was scared to even begin exercising because I was embarrassed to face the fact that I was no longer as strong as I had been in high school.
But when I met JoAnn, she took that fear away.
She took my mind off my own insecurities from day one. We started with the basics, and she built me up. Little by little, I’ve grown stronger. And little by little I’ve been losing the weight that I had struggled to shed on my own.
I travel a lot for work, and JoAnn has instilled a sense of discipline in me that I hadn’t had before. When I go on trips, I make sure I go to the gym to get my cardio and resistance training in. I have a new found responsibility to my new (and ever-changing) body.
It’s the little things I’ve noticed.
I’m no longer afraid of parking, because I don’t get winded from long walks across the parking lot. I have a new fabulous wardrobe because I’m now confident in myself. I work out almost every day with JoAnn or my friends.
On a more health-related note, since beginning my journey with JoAnn, my plantar fasciitis no longer ails me and I can walk 9 miles without batting an eye!
JoAnn is more than a trainer. She’s more than a nutrition coach. JoAnn is my friend who has given me my life back. I can’t wait to see what the picture looks like next year! Thanks JoAnn!

In three short weeks I have made great strides with Joann’s guidance. I was so nervous about signing up with a trainer, it can be intimidating out there on the floor with so many people. JoAnn has given me such a boost in my confidence level with her guidance in an awesome workout routine I am seeing results not only physically but in my confidence level as well. I think JoAnn’s own personal struggle sets her apart with her style and expertise and has made a huge difference in the motivation I use in my workout.
So thanks JoAnn and to the staff…for being a truly unique gym!

“Being overweight has been something I have struggled with since I was a child. Throughout my life I have had several trainers and belonged to many different gyms. I always had the same results where I stopped going to the gym and was throwing my money away or the trainers just didn’t motivate me enough to want to continue working hard. As an amputee, being overweight adds a lot of strain to my weaker leg and causes a lot of pain as well. In December 2012, I was introduced to JoAnn DiNotte and Complete Balance Wellness Center and immediately I could tell she was different from all of the other trainers I have encountered in my life. JoAnn’s approach to training is focused on changing your eating habits while exercising on a regular basis. JoAnn has helped me set realistic expectations and realize the importance of a healthier lifestyle. When I came to JoAnn I was well over 260 pounds and completely miserable. In just over two short months I have managed to slowly change my eating habits, dropped below 245 pounds and have lost body fat and have built muscle. I have only begun my journey to a healthier lifestyle but I would not be where I am today if it was not for JoAnn DiNotte and Complete Balance Wellness Center.”

Losing weight had always been a great challenge for me. The idea of “working out and eating right” was this daunting, unattainable goal. Working with JoAnn has helped me realize this journey is all about taking one baby step at a time and gradually changing my lifestyle. In making these small changes in my eating and exercising habits, my weight loss goals are now manageable and realistic. I am on my way to my goals and enjoying the journey.
