Barbara Nobles

Barbara has been in the fitness industry since 1988 and being a military spouse was able to train and teach in health clubs from Florida to Maine and many in between. The journey not only allowed her to meet and work with lots of people of varying personalities but, since her husband was frequently away on long deployments, also afforded her the opportunity to seek out educational specialities in a wide range of areas in order to provide the best possible service for her clients.

Upon returning to her home state of Mississippi she spent many years teaching and training at local health clubs before opening her own studio, Body Benefits, which provided "real benefits for the whole body" in 2003. The studio offered top notch fitness classes, one-on-one therapeutic yoga, individualized strength training, on-site corporate wellness and massage therapy. Also from 2003 to 2011 Barbara worked as a Master Trainer for YogaFit Worldwide traveling the United States leading teacher training workshops where she eventually reached Senior Master Trainer status. In order to once again find her true passion and love of helping others reach their fitness goals she decided to "ditch" the responsibility of running a 4,000 square foot facility and took Body Benefits on the road in 2012 with the motto, "if you can't come to to us, we'll come to you"

Barbara still teaches at select locations around town and offers on-site corporate wellness programs as well as therapeutic yoga sessions and one-on-one personalized training.

In addition to currently holding both the ACE Personal Training  Certification and the Advanced Health and Fitness Certifications, Barbara is also an approved continuing education provider with ACE offering workshops in Yoga, Group Exercise and Personal Training.  Barbara is also a Star Level 3 Spinning Instructor, an AFAA Group Exercise Instructor and an E-RYT Yoga Intructor with Yoga Alliance..
