Jodi’s path to fitness started at a young age. As a child, her mother taught various aerobics classes at local gyms. Jodi grew up in the gym environment and developed a passion and appreciation for health and fitness.
As many people do, Jodi strayed from her initial passion and pursued a B.A. in Deaf Studies: Interpreting and an M.A in Deaf Education. While Jodi was in graduate school, she discovered The Bar Method and immediately fell in love. The intensity of the workout and the application of safe movements intrigued her and re-awakened her passion for fitness.
Jodi trained to become an instructor and worked at The Bar Method between her full time job, running the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program in San Francisco, and graduate school. She found that teaching clients to work within the limitations of their bodies and helping them achieve their fitness goals was so rewarding. She knew she needed to leave education and return to her childhood passion.
Jodi opened her first studio in Agoura Hills in 2008 and opened her second studio in Santa Barbara last year. She has found Santa Barbara to be an amazing community full of health conscious, fit people and she is thrilled to share her passion for Bar Method with the Santa Barbara community.
Jodi currently lives in Santa Barbara with her husband and high school sweetheart, Quinn and their first baby, Baird.
