About Joyce Edwards
Joyce (Joy) Edwards has been an advocate of healthy lifestyles all of her life. Although there have been
many hills and valleys in her life, she always keeps her eye on the prize – body and mind wellness.
Over the years, her fitness and health experience has evolved as she took her love for exercising and
eating healthy to the next level. She followed her passion and became a Certified Fitness Professional.
Working as a Fitness Orientation Instructor for a well-known gym in Philadelphia and constantly being
asked to design fitness programs for other women, she realized there was a need for someone with her
expertise. With that focus, Exercise with Joy was formed.

field and motivates people of all ages, in various ways, to get healthy. Her programs are personalized

Women from all walks of life ask for her weight training and weight loss advice and her popularity continues
to grow because of her outgoing personally and high energy level. They are amazed when they find out her
age and usually comment, "when I grow up I want to be just like you."

nurses, college students, 10 year olds, diabetics, people with disabilities, managers, receptionists, and
a host of others… You see, getting healthy and keeping fit is a "must do" for most of us.
She writes a bi-weekly newsletter called "Getting Healthy with Joy" for Wilmington’s Delawareblack.com and
she also speaks to groups about healthy lifestyles, conducts workshops, and demonstrates exercises that
can be used on a daily basis at home.
Because of her expertise she's been appointed to the Board of Nursing, appointed to the
Governor’s Commission on Community and Volunteer Service, member of the Board of Directors
