ABOUT ME
Julie is a fitness professional who has been active all her life - she’s been on her high school basketball team, taken classes and worked at a kickboxing school, and paddled for a local dragon boat team.
What started as a return to an active lifestyle after an injury, her work and learning with a trainer turned into a passion to share that knowledge with others. After 12 years and counting, her training knowledge has grown and evolved to help the beginner client get strong to people with injuries and musculoskeletal conditions become pain free.
She has experience in strength training, fat loss, corrective exercise, and flexibility and mobility work. She’s worked with populations from young to old, keeping them strong and healthy as they age.
Her innovative training has helped people with scoliosis, while specialized programs for dragon boaters helped them stay ready to paddle on and off season. She’s even adapted a program for a community girls’ basketball team.
She also provides muscle recalibration, an active stretching specialty in which the mind connects/reconnects with non-activated muscles.
LOCALLY OWNED

CLIENT REVIEWS
"Julie is a healer. I came to her for personal training when my lower back was hurting. I could not sit without pain. Strength training can help with lower back pain. After assessing my conditions, Julie started to ramp me up with some gentle core exercises. Within a month, I felt significantly better in my lower back, in three months my lower back pain was gone. I could sit normally again. Fortunately, my training did not stop there. I kept going back to Julie because each session made me feel so great. After six months of training, I had more confidence in my movement. I impressed myself and my friends by carrying heavy boxes when helping them move. My dance technique also improved according to my salsa partner. Most importantly, I gained self respect during this period of time. I can never accept the self image of a weakling again. As a result, my relationship to my partner and my work changed profoundly. As I look back, Julie's influence is subtle at the moment, but gradually it had impacted my life significantly. If you are just starting personal training, please be patient. Over a long run, it is going to worth every penny and drop of sweat."

"I hadn’t worked out in years due to injuries and life circumstances, but within a year of working with Julie I felt better, was stronger, lost weight and my overall results exceeded my expectations! Julie has a down-to-earth approach that kept me focused and she tailored exercises to keep the sessions fresh and me progressing continuously. I looked forward to each session, and working with Julie is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself."
