WELCOME TO PURE-JOY WELLNESS

I am a 72-year-old man, with arthritis and a minor heart issue. My daughter, a doctor, gave me a gym membership and booked four sessions with Julie for me. I have found them to be incredibly valuable in restarting a fine program.

Julie is a very knowledgeable, careful, and patient instructor. She meters her training format and loads to meet the student’s needs and match their capabilities. She graduates from her program to get maximum benefits for her students.

She is a thoroughly organized, enthusiastic trainer, and working with her has enhanced not only my health and fitness but also my understanding of the gym-based conditioning process.
Please note I was a registered Level 2 Australian Athletics coach and spent 20 years training athletes.

I am deeply appreciative of Julie’s contribution to my health, fitness, and well-being.

I am a current personal training client of Julie’s. Over my 60 years, I trained with many different trainers to meet my personal fitness goal of keeping in shape and to keep hiking and moving as I age. Julie quickly understood my training motivation and goals, in other words what works for me at the gym. She also individualizes my program to keep it varied (from weights, bike to boxing), interesting, and most importantly to meet my needs. She collaborates with my other health team members to provide holistic care. Julie understands and has a good knowledge of the science of personal training, she also understands the science of people and motivation and has a great sense of humour even at 6 am!

Whatever your fitness goals are, I am certain that Julie will get you there.

It has been almost two years since Julie agreed to take me on as a client. This was the first time I had used a Trainer and wasn’t sure how to choose one. I know now I started at the TOP!

The first thing that strikes you about Julie is how cheerful and enthusiastic she is. Then, little by little you discover how knowledgeable she is, always happy to explain the why and how of an excercise. Her expertise over many disciplines led her to acquaint me with Yoga, Pilates, Step, Weight Lifting, Intervals, all to let the client see what path is most helpful and enjoyable. She is completely client oriented.

Once she came to the gym wearing a t-shirt that said FIERCE.! She must be fierce with herself because she never is with her clients!

I can easily sum up Julie by saying she SHINES as a coach and SPARKLES as a person.

I have been Julie’s client for over 13 years.

She is professional, well informed, energetic and a motivating personal trainer. I appreciate the wide range of training options she offers: Yoga, Pilates, boxing, aerobic, weight training.

Julie is a great listener and adapts to my changing needs – which in large part is why I have stayed with her all these years. If you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise, and enjoy intelligent and humorous conversations, then Julie is your personal trainer!

She routinely incorporates different exercises, e.g. Pilates, yoga and martial arts, into my program to make it interesting and challenging.  The fact I still enjoy going to the gym and am able to play tennis 4-5 times a week speaks volumes about her as a trainer!
