Joy Powers

Joy’s journey into fitness began in 2019 with Olympic weightlifting, where she fell in love with the barbell. After a year of training at a lifting club, life with a young child demanded more efficient workouts so she made the switch to CrossFit in January 2020 and hasn’t looked back. In early 2023, Joy earned her CrossFit Level 1 certification and began coaching, combining her USA Weightlifting Level 1 credentials and years of experience under the bar to support athletes at all levels. Her coaching style is rooted in patience, encouragement, and a deep love for those “ah-ha!” moments whether it’s a technique breakthrough or someone hitting a long-awaited PR. With an inclusive mindset and a preference for good music and good vibes, Joy brings a calm and supportive presence to every class she leads at CrossFit SERVE. Joy never considered herself an athlete growing up and didn’t play organized sports, making her own fitness journey even more inspiring. She believes that anyone can achieve progress with consistency and practice. A mantra she lives by: “You can do anything if you practice it long enough.” Her favorite workouts include anything with a barbell, while running is firmly in the “least favorite” category. Outside the gym, Joy is an avid reader with a passion for real estate and architecture. Her dream vacation? Hiking through Patagonia. As for her gym bag essential, it’s her trusty 2POOD belt, always ready for the next lift.
