Joanna Coatney
Joanna is originally from Jones Creek, TX, and currently lives in Austin. She founded Jump2It Fitness out of two of her passions: fitness and women’s empowerment. Towards the end of 2020, Joanna created a jump rope fitness class that she offered once a week. It was a side hustle and a passion project as she worked full-time in education. She loved connecting with the women who joined her class every weekend. They were often the highlight of her week, and she enjoyed pouring into them. However, once a week wasn’t enough. She wanted to go deeper and impact their lives on a greater scale.
Joanna’s love for education slowly fizzled out while her passion for her fitness project grew exponentially. In February 2021, Joanna walked away from 10 years of working in education and she embarked on her new journey as an entrepreneur. The most satisfying part of her job is watching her clients—women of all ages—transform from the inside out. Seeing the increase of confidence and self-love, renewed mindsets, stronger spiritual walks, and them beaming with pride, in the end, fills her heart with joy and it reminds Joanna that she’s doing exactly what God has called her to do.
