About Julia

Meet Julia: 15+ years coaching, a Physical Education degree, and ACE certification. Personalized in-home and online training across Greater Vancouver.

Helping people improve their health and well-being through movement is my passion.

I’m a dedicated fitness professional with over 15 years of experience and a genuine love for improving my clients’ health, confidence, and quality of life. I’ve worked with people across every demographic - teens, adults, and seniors - using the latest in exercise science and functional strength training.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) with Magna Cum Laude honours, and spent more than a decade coaching in one of Rio’s best gyms before moving to Canada in 2018. Since then I’ve earned my certification through ACE™ (American Council on Exercise) and continued helping people make fitness a lasting part of their lives.

Throughout my career I’ve trained many clients in their homes and in public spaces, bringing all the equipment needed to deliver an excellent session anywhere. I work across a wide range of activities - strength training, TRX suspension training, functional training, spinning, stretching, targeted classes, and more - and I’m always learning to be a better coach.

I know life is busy and making time for workouts isn’t always easy. That’s why I offer flexible training that fits your lifestyle - at home, or live online, wherever you are.
