POUND’s Sr. Manager of Education and Training
Joyce Wong lives in Brooklyn, NY and had her first POUND® experience in 2011 in NYC. Talk about love at first strike! Not only was it the most fun she ever had at the gym, but the immediate audio feedback of her body’s movements that the Ripstix® provided was what really hooked her. A lover of yoga and biomechanics, Joyce encourages her students to become aware of their bodies and needs, to search for balance in their lives, and to have fun!
What activity do you do that makes you feel most like yourself?
I love anything where I get to connect my mind and my body, especially if there’s good music involved: dancing, yoga, POUND, anything really!
Whom do you secretly admire?
Recently becoming a mother myself, I have a profound admiration for my mom! She enrolled my brother and me in every activity, took us to all the museums, parks, theater, concerts, you name it. It was something I took for granted for all these years until I become a parent myself and realized how much planning goes into just getting yourself and your child out of the house! Love you, Mom!
How do you show love for others?
The best way to show love for others is to be a good listener, to hear their needs and empathize when needed and act when needed. My old soul also likes sending cards with a note inside; in this digital-everything age, a hand-written message inside a tangible card is so delightful.
What superpower would you most like to have?
Teleportation! I love going to new places and meeting new people and trying new things – how wonderful to be able to do it in the blink of an eye?
