This is Bold Moves, y’all! A yearlong, sweaty, community-driven & instructor-led fundraiser. We’ve partnered with 12 fantastic instructors to bring you a different class on the second Saturday of every month throughout 2024.

Everyone, meet Joy Mikhail. She’ll teach our first (of 4) cycling classes for the year and we’re so lucky to have her!

About Joy:
South Florida native turned Boston resident, Joy has been a fitness professional since 2015. She has worked in a variety of fitness spaces and teaches cycling, HIIT, strength, and treadmill-based classes all across the Boston area. She is passionate about equity, inclusivity, and embodiment in her pursuit of communal wellness and healing. In her classes, you can expect to channel your inner hip-hop star, have a few good laughs, all while trusting your body to lead you in exactly the way you need. 

In addition to her career in fitness, Joy is a speech-language pathologist and the founder of Niche Speech Therapy, a private practice dedicated to providing neurodiversity affirming and inclusive speech and language services in Greater Boston. 

Outside of teaching group fitness and working with her clients, you can find Joy reading a good book, traveling to new places, or being in nature with her loved ones and dog, Luna.
