Joy Nobles- Certified Foundations 2 Pietra Fitness Instructor. Joy is certified to teach Gentle and Intermediate classes.


Joy is a farm girl raised in Western Iowa.  She relocated to Des Moines in 2008 to attend Mercy College of Health Sciences. She has her Bachelors in Nursing (amongst several other Health Science degrees) and has been practicing as a Registered Nurse since 2012.  She currently works as a surgical nurse, primarily on the Cardiothoracic/Vascular team at a Level 1 Trauma

Center. Such a blessing to literally touch peoples’ hearts routinely.  She is excited and blessed to be able to help introduce Pietra Fitness to the Des Moines metro area as well as the Des Moines diocese. It’s an awesome opportunity for people to experience this exercise LIVE!

Joy was guided to Pietra Fitness by a friend and fell in love with the apostolate. Being able to provide people with stretching/strengthening exercises that are physically beneficial while creating a calm for the soul by using the beautiful meditations is truly a blessing. The more you know, the more you grow!

Joy lives in West Des Moines with her husband, William, son, Jackson, and two dogs, Milli and Ripp. Their daughter, Alexis lives in Lousiana with her husband, Matthew and daughter, Dolly. Their other son, Will Jr., works on the road alongside his fiancé, Jenny. Joy and William enjoy traveling to see their children and other friends/relatives. One of their favorite things to do while traveling is to attend mass. Seeing different churches and meeting priests and other Catholics across the country is always such a pleasure! If ever you come across Joy, please introduce yourself although it’s highly likely she will approach you first!
