What people say about me


Normally I don’t like Gyms as I don’t feel comfortable there and, to be honest, I never know what to do or if I’m doing well.
Also due to my thyroid issues I tend to have joint pain so I easily give up.

Julia was like fresh air for me!

Julie emerged in a turbulent phase of my life; without motivation, overweight, with a thyroid that did not regulate properly and without much hope of being understood. But Julie helped me a lot, yet don’t think it was easy – she is demanding in a great way and keeps the focus and discipline when need which is wonderful. She is extremely professional, with great knowledge and a sense of humor.

If you are looking for someone personalised, knowledgeable, down to earth and with empathy to understand your story, please consider Julie; give it a try as not only your body will change but all your lifestyle and mindset.

Unfortunately, because I had to move I was unable to continue with my sessions, but I will come back!

I had never tried personal training before but Julie has helped ease me into the world of fitness and strength training, and achieve things I never thought I could! She strikes the perfect balance: kind, patient, and never making me feel any pressure, while still pushing me to challenge myself and achieve more every week. She has given me helpful tailored advice on my form and I have gained so much confidence in what my body can do and knowing how to do it safely. Plus she is great at taking my mind off the exhaustion with our interesting catch up chats in the rest time between exercises!

Thanks!

Julie is a great P.T.

She has the knack of making sessions varies and interesting which cuts out mental fatigue, this combined with being in tune to what is achievable for you to make the desired gains, encouraging you to push more than you thought possible.

If you’d told me a year ago, I’d be singing the praises of deadlifts and feeling stronger than ever, I’d have laughed in your face. Past injuries left me wary of strength training, and my attempts felt clunky and frustrating. But then I met Julie and everything changed.

 Julie took my limitations and turned them into strengths, crafting bespoke workouts that challenged me without pushing me past my limits. Her encouragement and belief in your potential guide me through each rep, and I found myself loving the burn, the sweat, the feeling of pushing my body to new heights. You’ll leave her sessions not just physically stronger but mentally fortified, ready to tackle anything life throws your way.

This newfound strength isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about confidence, resilience, and feeling empowered. As  a woman going through menopause, strength training has been a revelation. It boosts my energy levels and improves my mood in ways I never imagined. And if you’re a runner, listen up! Strength training isn’t just for weightlifters. It’s the secret weapon that will make you a faster, more efficient runner. 

So, whether you’re recovering from injuries, facing the changes of menopause, or simply wanting to feel like the best version of yourself, do yourself a favour and book a session with Julie. She’ll turn you from a fitness sceptic into a strength advocate, one deadlift at a time.

Five stars out of five. Highly recommend!

This is personal training at its very best. Julie listens carefully to what you want to achieve and devises a programme precisely tailored to those goals. I wanted to develop strength through weight-training, and I have so enjoyed seeing this increase week on week. It has been appropriately challenging, and so very rewarding both mentally and physically. The buzz that I leave with after every session is priceless! Julie has also been able to advise me on other aspects of health such as diet and sleep to maximise the benefits of exercise and does it all with encouragement and praise. I can’t commend her highly enough!

Julie was a superb trainer, who gave me the confidence to challenge myself with my fitness journey.

Thanks to Julie I have fallen back in love with fitness. Every session was also very incredibly fun and enjoyable.

I am really enjoying my training with Julie. She is so enthusiastic and friendly and personalises each session with my goals in mind. The sessions make me work extremely hard, but not so they are unmanageable. Each session has varied exercise as well, so they don’t get boring. I also love that Julie has her own studio, there are no distractions and I have her full attention at all times. She is very encouraging and wants me to progress with each exercise. I have had personal training sessions in the past, but Julie is the best instructor I’ve had, and her sessions are definitely getting me fitter and stronger. I wish I’d found her before now.

A brilliant PT instructor, Julie is a fantastic motivator, pushing you to achieve more all the time. The time flies because you are concentrating on the next exercise. I never thought I would like weights but I love it.

I love going to Julie’s gym. She is a highly professional trainer with deep knowledge of the subject. Julie is always friendly and supportive. She motivates and encourages people to overcome their insecurities. She helps to increase self esteem and motivates to stay positive, healthy and fit.

I signed up for a course of training with Julie because I needed to build up my strength following some illness. I am a mature woman and have never previously been interested in doing exercise with weights. Julie immediately put me at ease, she was very patient and understood what my needs were. Julie has given me confidence and I now feel so much better about myself. I am so pleased that I took the step to have personal training with her.

Julie has been an inspiring, goal-oriented, and driven personal trainer and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every session I’ve had with her so far. She always brings buckets of energy and is keen to explain the why and how behind each exercise she programs. Alongside this, Julie has provided a detailed nutrition and workout schedule tailored to my needs. She truly comes across as a PT that actually cares for all aspects of her client’s wellbeing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take action on their fitness goals.

I took up personal training with Julie to improve my stability and  strength after suffering from a few injuries over the years. Now I feel so much fitter and stronger in my body. It feels like I’ve had a new lease of life!
