Jody McNeilly

My journey began five years ago as I started a new career, coming from a background in education to managing a gym, and currently becoming a Fitness Instructor teaching a specialized fitness class called Piloxing. One of my goals in the fitness world was to use my own experiences and struggles with weight to motivate and encourage others towards a more positive, healthy and active lifestyle through physical fitness. With genuine passion to help others driving me, I’ve successfully incorporated my education and life experiences into a very rewarding and growing encore career. I absolutely love teaching and look forward to every class when I can see everyone’s smiling, sweaty faces and experience with them the joy and happiness they are feeling with their invidual accomplishments.

I believe in bringing a high-energy education-first approach to my work. In doing so, I love being creative with empowering my clients to experience breakthroughs and what I call, “Aha!” moments in their life. I am a Certified Piloxing Instructor who is dedicated, resourceful, and goal-driven with a solid commitment to the development of every client. I design challenging and innovative activities that address the diverse interests and needs of all clients. As well as educationally based, effective and safe classes that are fun, challenging and creative. Having a great passion for freeing others from concern, it continues to amaze me how tremendous fitness can be a perfect tool to provide body and mind changing results to everyday people like me, no matter their age, gender, or physical limitations.  

I teach a class called Piloxing, a non-stop interval fusion of PILATES + BOXING + DANCE that will push you past your limits! Incorporates cutting edge research and fitness techniques to burn maximum calories, build lean muscles and increase stamina. Blends the power, speed and agility of boxing with the targeted sculpting and flexibility of Pilates. Supplemented by the use of weighted gloves, toning the arms and maximizing cardiovascular health. Get funky with exhilarating dances moves, find balance with pilates and build power with boxing.

I have been so very fortunate to meet so many incredible women who want to change their lives and become fit, healthy and happy.  My hope is to find what works best for each individual and inspire that person to live their best life possible so they may inspire others to do the same.
