Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach
A Healthy Life Is Within Reach
Fitness has always been a part of my life. I grew up always being active from playing outside as a kid to strength training as an adult. Throughout my childhood into my early adult years, I competitively ran, did gymnastics, and played soccer in high school. I have always had a passion for fitness.
My training style has changed a lot over this past year. I like to dabble in a bit of everything from CrossFit, to indoor cycling, to strength training, to running. My coaching style is based off of what your goals are. I focus on tailoring a personalized program that fits your fitness and nutrition needs. Whether your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, improve endurance, increase flexibility, tone your body, or shift your mindset. I am here to help!
My Goal
My Mission
To help people feel confident and empowered in the gym. As a woman, I use to always get nervous going into the weight section. I felt lost and confused. I never knew what I was doing or how to do the movements correctly so I would just go to the machines not really having a plan and then do an hour of cardio and abs. After getting certified, I gained a new perspective on fitness. I knew I wanted to help people understand that the gym is a place for love, not hate.
To empower my clients in the gym by gaining confidence and strength. Inspire and help YOU feel confident with my knowledge and guidance in fitness and nutrition. I believe that stepping out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself every day is the key to success. Something I live by and say often is: what doesn't challenge you, doesn't change you.
My ultimate goal is to help you build a healthy lifestyle and mindset. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, whether you are just starting out or already an avid gym goer, need help with a gym program, need help with nutrition for weight loss or gain, or looking just for something more challenging. I am here to help you achieve your goals!
My Services
1:1 Personal Training
1:1 Personal Training Sessions include an initial consultation to discuss the clients goals and needs. Every program is tailor-made to each individual client.
Alongside the training sessions, I will do weekly nutrition check-ins.
Allow me to help you meet your goals, increase your confidence in the gym, and build strength.
Online Coaching
Obviously I would love for the client to train in person with me, but let's be realistic; time and finances often prevent that from happening.
With that being said, I use an app for my online clients where I create personalized programs for their goals and needs. Whether you have access to a gym or free weights at home, I can create a program that fits your lifestyle.
Nutrition Coach
As a Certified Nutrition Coach, I can help calculate caloric needs, teach healthy portion sizes, educate the client on food labels, calculate macronutrients ratios, help dispel nutrition myths and fallacies, teach the client how to navigate grocery stores, discuss pros and cons of various diets, evaluate eating plans and provide general guidance, and perform body composition testing and dietary assessments.

"I am a mother of two children, a full-time nurse, and constantly second-guessing myself. Before I started working with Julia, my confidence in myself was low, and I had difficulty focusing on my gym needs. I had so many influences that I couldn’t confidently make a gym routine that worked with my current fitness needs and level. From her initial assessment to my last workout, Julia knew what I needed and was willing to listen to my desires in the workouts she personalized for me. My full year working with her created a whole new me! I can confidently walk into any fitness center and work out without second-guessing my form or routine. Julia taught me how to assess my body needs and the fundamentals of developing my own workouts. Which is huge! So many fitness facilities and personal trainers want you to depend on them (they depend on your payments), but Julia isn’t like that; she wants me to grow and become my own person in the gym. That, to me, amplified her confidence in training others, displayed her confidence in her own skillset, and her ethical behavior towards her clients.
I could go on and on about my years’ worth of training with Julia, but her certificates, technical skills, and attention to detail will give you more than enough insight into the endless possibilities she will provide for you in your time spent with her. Thank you for everything and your time.
