JoeEtta McAdam

Founder & Coach

PT, FNS, GXI

Experience: 18+ years in the fitness & wellness industry

JoeEtta has been a full-time fitness instructor since 2009. Her passion lies in coaching people to find their inner strength and use it to become better versions of themselves.

JoeEtta opened her own gym in 2018 named Level Up Studio, where she has been training people of all populations including peri & menopausal women in her signature small group training “Level Up The Pause”. She saw such great results that she wanted to share her program access to women everywhere. Level Up The Pause online was born from this passion.

Level Up the Pause carries that practice into daily readiness checks, safe midlife strength training, and practical nutrition habits — always as coaching guidance, never as medical care. Products and education she uses in her Level Up Studio practice are disclosed on the What I Use page.
