ABOUT US
GravOxy programs enable individuals of any age and fitness level to move their body in ways that are comfortable and achieve significant health and wellness benefits. GravOxy can be gentle enough for a patient confined to a wheelchair, yet challenging enough for an Olympic athlete.
Joanne Schmalenberger – Founder of GravOxy
Born with Lyphangioma, Joanne has been fortunate to experience amazing life lessons that have impacted her career as an an “outside the box” wellness educator & fitness trainer.
She has dedicated herself to a life long pursuit of learning that has taken her throughout the world to do study fitness modalities that emphasize natural body movements. This journey has taken her beyond traditional fitness domains to study biology, physiological anatomy and physics. From this awareness, she has been able to create fitness training protocols that focus on strengthening cellular development in the body.
Her fitness programs do more than generate impressive physical and mental results, they provide an enjoyable means for people of all ages and skill levels to maintain their life long commitment to health.
