COACH JULZ
My fitness journey began in my late teens, I originally joined the gym because I was insecure about my body. I remember feeling so anxious at the gym that I would sometimes get overwhelmed and leave only a few minutes after arriving.
As I persevered, I grew confident in weightlifting and group fitness, but this led to an unhealthy fixation on weight loss and my body image. I overtrained, ate restrictively, and suffered physical and mental distress as a result.
​
The worst part was I thought I was being the healthiest bitch of all time due to my lack of knowledge.
Years of this cycle followed until completing my diploma in fitness which completely transformed my approach.
I now emphasize exercise and weight lifting as a means to build strength and add quality years to your life, the importance of rest, self-care, and balanced, non restrcitive nutrition.
I lift weights 3 times a week, enjoy daily walks with my dog Frank, eat in a way that fuels my lifestlye, and enjoy a vibrant social life. Sharing this perspective with clients, I advocate integrating fitness without it overwhelming life.
Going through years of disorderd eating to then learning how to live a life enriched with balance has enabled me to help women overcome restrictive mindsets.
​
I've worked in the fitness industry since 2016 and having worked with 100's of clients, helping women over 40 navigate perimenopause & menopause through the benefits of strength training has been incredibly rewarding.
​
Creating the DOWN TO LIFT community and empowering everyday women to embrace strength, nourishment and balanced living is my heartfelt mission.
