Melrose Boot Camp / Free-Range Kids

I'm Joy Fay — fitness coach, yoga enthusiast, outdoor educator, and the heart behind JoyHealthyLife.com.
I've been leading Melrose Boot Camp, an outdoor group fitness program in Melrose, MA, since 2003. Over the years I've expanded into yoga, mindfulness, and movement — always coming back to the belief that the best things in life happen outside.
I've also spent much of my career working with children — as a nanny, school teacher, and children's center director. Those experiences shaped Free-Range Kids, my nature-based outdoor enrichment program for children in Melrose during school vacations and breaks, where kids get to play, explore, and grow outside the way kids are meant to.
Along the way I created a few things I'm really proud of — Joy in Bloom: The ABCs of Native Plants, a botanical coloring book for all ages available on Amazon, a collection of nature printables and seasonal scavenger hunts for kids in my Etsy shop, and the Free-Range Kids Adventures app, a nature activity generator for families.
Movement, nature, and joy — that's what I'm about.
