Client Testimonials
“I have a much healthier relationship with working out and balancing it in my life. I thought working out twice a week with Julia would be enough, but after working out with her I started looking for ways to move more in my day. It pushed me to walk more, bike more, and play tennis. Session with Julia encouraged me to prioritize my health in my daily list of things to do. Even just a 20 minute walk is better than nothing. Prior to starting Julia, I'd never say something like that.
In my professional life, working out with Julia gives me a clearer mind. I love my early morning sessions, I have a great day at work those days. And even the evening sessions, I get a lot of energy after to work on any personal project.
I'm a healthier and more energetic person overall and I see large bumps after my sessions. “

“I have worked with a dozen trainers and Julia is my favorite by far. She met me at my level, treated me as an equal, and listened to what I needed. I would 100% recommend Julia to friends.”
– Dale S.
“[Julia is ] always paying attention and it feels like [she] really knows me, understands my goals and tailor my work to my needs.
[Since working with Julia],I feel much stronger and much more motivated to get up and do things! I am definitely paying more attention to how I feel and using movement to correct myself when I'm feeling stiff or uncomfortable!”
– Lyla M.
Julia's really unique. She's great at listening and then tailoring a plan just for you. And she'll answer all of your questions and concerns honestly. Even if it means you're not the right fit for one another.
I always look forward to our sessions; like how [she] push[es] me just the right amount during them and then feel great for having done it.
[She is] really knowledgeable and keenly perceptive about what works for each of [her] clients. I love the information [she] share[s] with me to improve my workouts, stretching and overall health. I've seen such strong results since we've been working out together.
I've lost the 8-10 pounds I put on in my fifties that I figured I'd never lose. I keep getting stronger and with regular stretching, I'm maintaining flexibility. This has made working from home (at a computer constantly) bearable and not crippling. And made other parts of my fitness plan doable.
The way [she’s] adapted to COVID and all the safety measures is really impressive. The gym [she has] created at [her] house (outdoors and in the garage) is perfect. I'm so happy to be working out with [her].
– Amy H.
“If something doesn't feel right or a certain exercise is hurting, [she is] knowledgeable in helping me adjust form or finding alternate exercise right away. Also, [she] does a great job having workouts be a mix of something I enjoy/do regularly, something I need/hate, and also new exercises. Great trifecta!”
– Clarence T.
“Quite frankly, not knowing anything, I was skeptical of being guided during my workouts. I was pleasantly surprised by how much stronger I have become and how much better my life is now. Julia doesn’t just give commands. She becomes a part of your life. That personal commitment is very precious.
I am stronger and that manifests itself in all sorts of way around my apartment. I feel a better sense of peace with myself and harmony. “
– Austin S.
“[Julia] do[es] a really good job of keeping the banter going and developing a relaxed/safe environment, while still holding me to pretty high and challenging expectations. [She] always push[es] hard (which I hate in the moment, but appreciate in the grand scheme.)
[She] takes a totally holistic, down-to-earth approach to exercise. And [she’s] funny as hell.
If [you] want someone who motivates via shame or tough love, [Julia is] not the right choice. But if [you] want someone who focuses on sustainable lifestyle choices, self-love, and a little self-deprecating humor — no one is better.”
– Ellen E.
“Workouts are consistent but creative. You’re knowledgeable without being preachy.
[Since working with Julia I’ve noticed] excellent health benefits beyond weight loss: A1C, blood sugar, and other markets. Improved mood and mental clarity. You will feel better immediately and be healthier in just a few weeks.”
– Ania W.
“One thing I really appreciate is that [she] believes me about my physical limitations and never pushes me to go farther than I feel is safe. I have a lot of self discipline and don't need a drill sergeant, I need someone to make sure I'm not leaving out a muscle group and make sure I'm using good form. [She’s] willing to come up with ideas to work around the things I'm not able to do so I can still build strength in every area. Basically, [she] helps me work toward MY goals, not [her’s]”
