Joanie Kostacopoulos

Joanie’s immersion into fitness occurred when she met Pam Blum (a current Crofton Yoga Instructor).  In 2007, Pam was managing a gym that Joanie was a member. Pam recognized something in Joanie and asked her to become a Group Power Instructor.  The rest is history as they say; however, it was not all by chance.  Joanie is a former high school and college athlete so the transition into fitness was somewhat natural.

Since 2007, Joanie has made fitness her full-time career and is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Johnny G Certified Spin Instructor, Power Pilates Certified Instructor, and most recently (July 2020) has completed a 200-hour Pranakriya Yoga Certification from Crofton Yoga. Joanie teaches several formats at Severna Park Racquetball & Fitness and Evolutions in Annapolis to include Bootcamp, Abs, Arms & Assets, Total Body Fitness, Total Body Fusion, Spin, and Yoga.  When she is not teaching, she is taking care of her clients in-person and virtually. “I consider myself a well-rounded instructor and trainer and my philosophy reflects that well-roundedness by keeping my participants challenged, safe, and optimized.  I work hard at creating classes and training sessions that are both safe and effective in reaching participants’ personal goals. I am a stickler for “good form” and never willing to compromise.  My job is to educate my participants so that when they are not in my presence – they have the foundation and the tools to exercise safely and properly.”
