About Jodi
After receiving my BS in Exercise Science from the U of A, I began my lifelong commitment toward Fitness/Wellness at the World Renown Canyon Ranch Spa. Where I truly found my love for teaching water exercise. Soon after that I was designing the water program at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch and quickly became the Fitness Manager at the brand new Scottsdale Princess Resort and Spa.
After getting married and having two boys, I found myself getting whisked off to Valencia, California (for about 17 years). Once in Valencia, my world and opportunity for expansion in the Fitness industry grew exponentially. I worked for the Sports Club Company L.A. as a Personal Trainer, Exercise Instructor and was soon promoted to Member Service Specialist and Sales. It was from this experience that I realized I had a genuine knack for not only signing up, but keeping people accountable, and loving helping people find the time toward a healthy lifestyle.
Once the Paseo Club opened, I became the Fitness Director whose responsibilities included managing trainers, group x, aquatics and youth programs. As I ran the gym and other departments I also decided to begin a Boot Camp and Triathlon Club. This became a huge draw for the community. I could go on all day about the Summer Camp, Jodi’s Backyard Bootcamp, Flo Jod Run Club and training 100’s of people to run their 1st race or ½ marathon, suffice to say, I was awarded Elite Trainer and Business Woman of the year in 2011 and 2012 for my efforts.
I pride myself on my community involvement and joined Soroptimist International, which is an international group geared toward helping women. I created and chaired the 2 High-Heel-a-Thons to stomp out Domestic Violence. I received national acclaim from the Senate and local acclaim for our Chamber of Commerce, and have since involved myself in many women’s organizations.
Before moving back to Arizona I had the opportunity to do sales and exercise instruction at the 48 year corporate entity Total Woman Gym and Day Spa!
All of the positions that I have held and my continued community involvement followed as I moved back to Scottsdale to open Goddess Fit Women’s Gym Facility. Having an opportunity to have a safe and non-intimidating environment for women to workout was a blessing.
My tenacity and hard work has brought me here today to Jodi Stokes Fitness, where I am able to go mobile as a Concierge Fitness Professional and help people to work- out in their homes, pools and am also offering my services to LifeScape Premier. I have recently been honored by So Scottsdale as People to Watch in 2017 and also awarded by Voyage Phoenix Magazine as a “Trailblazer” 2019.
I will continue my life’s mission to help people live heathy lives and contribute time to my community.
Thank you for being a part of my journey and life’s work… Jodi
