Born and raised in Philadelphia, Joan Woltemate grew up in a large family. With nine brothers, she didn’t really have a choice but to love and play all sports. During her high school years, she participated in sports such as soccer, field hockey and softball. She excelled in softball, playing left field for the Varsity team all four years.
Joan continues to enjoy softball by coaching her daughter’s team as well as running pitching clinics. She really loves being with the team, teaching the essentials to the game, while keeping it fun and exciting. She teaches fair play as well as the importance of having team spirit. Joan brings out confidence in each young player by motivating each to do her very best. She believes that with confidence, great things can be accomplished.
Over twenty years ago, Joan met and married her best friend, Ed. She is very involved in raising their three children. She knows first-hand the time and commitment it takes to raise a family yet somehow finds time to exercise and stay in shape. After the birth of their third child, Joan began her running career. After competing in countless 5k races, She eventually trained herself to run a full marathon! She has competed in the Philadelphia Broad Street Run for the past ten years and will continue to do so as long as she can. Her running motto is: “Know your limits, then ignore them!”
Becoming a personal trainer has been a life long dream of Joan’s. Having a deep understanding of other’s personal goals, and the ability to provide the motivation, is a natural talent of hers.
