Congratulations to Joni Briganti, member of American Family Fitness Fredericksburg! Joni recently received the

From a young age, Briganti was drawn to the water, and she quickly became an impressive young swimmer. Over the past four decades, she has sought out every multisport and endurance race she could. Briganti has completed more than 100 Olympic-distance triathlons, 110 half marathons, six IRONMANs, 18 IRONMAN 70.3s, 34 marathons, and countless 5ks and 10ks.
Briganti has raced at 10 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships and represented USA Triathlon’s age-group Team USA at three ITU Age Group World Championships. Her positive mindset inspires those around her, and she has been known to recruit dozens of people to compete in triathlons with her.
A member of the 2020 USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team powered by Newton Running, Briganti raises awareness for the Foundation while encouraging triathlon participation in her local community through service projects and outreach activities. She is a water fitness instructor and Masters swim coach at American Family Fitness in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and has been a Jazzercise franchise owner since 1985.
