Jodee Thomas

Jodee’s fitness journey began while studying Dance at Mankato State University in Minnesota, where she first discovered her love for leading group exercise classes. After graduating, she turned her passion into a full-time career by earning her Personal Training Certification. Today, Jodee is a premier personal trainer and group fitness instructor at Alpha Fitness in Appleton, dedicated to helping clients of all fitness levels move better and live healthier lives.

 

With decades of experience in the fitness industry, Jodee does it all. Beyond one-on-one personal training and high-energy group classes, she is a respected fitness educator and presenter, traveling to conferences and workshops across the country to train the next generation of fitness professionals.

​

When she’s not coaching at Alpha Fitness, Jodee lives and breathes endurance sports. Her athletic background spans decades, starting as a marathon runner and Ironman Triathlete before transitioning into the world of trail and ultra-running. To date, Jodee has completed over 100 endurance races, including grueling 100+ mile ultramarathons.

 

"Running is the most incredible sport because it’s something you can do for a lifetime," Jodee says. "It teaches you so much about yourself and about life."

​

Jodee believes that fitness is a lifelong journey with no expiration date. Her coaching style focuses on meeting clients exactly where they are and building a sustainable routine they actually enjoy.

 

"It’s never too soon or too late to start. Start where you are, do what you can, and find something that brings you joy. That goes for training, and it goes for life."
