Hey everyone! My name is Noah Moody.  I was born and raised right here in Charleston.  After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Shepherd University, I served in the Peace Corps ’16- ‘18 in Liberia, West Africa. I currently teach 6^th Grade Science at Stonewall Jackson middle school and hold a WITs Personal Trainer certification.

Exercising is not my job or something I do for fun; it is a part of my lifestyle. I wanted to become a trainer to share my passion of completing goals and becoming the best you can be. I have used this mentality to run my first of seven marathons when I was sixteen, earning a sponsorship to run an Ironman 70.3 triathlon, and completing the JFK 50 mile ultramarathon. I grew up not specializing in one thing but dabbling in anything that would keep me moving. I was rewarded Athlete of the Year for my three years in middle school and continuing my love for sports through high school. I’m a registered amateur boxer, currently involved in rec league ultimate frisbee.
