My name is Julia Simon. I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

In addition to being a CPT, I am studying to become a Certified Nutrition Coach. I am a busy first grade teacher and mom to a kitten named Moscato and a dog named Whiskey. I found my love of training and nutrition in late 2019.

I was never athletic growing up. I hated sports. I hated running. I didn’t think I would ever be someone who went to the gym for fun. I started working out five years ago as a means to look good. I didn't care about health benefits. I didn't care about being strong. I just wanted a round booty and a tiny waist. I had an on again, off again relationship with the gym.

I would join a gym and then stop going if I didn't see the results I wanted in two weeks. I would hold on to my gym membership, but wouldn't use it until I felt self conscious about my body and decided to try to “fix it” again. I quickly realized after several gym memberships, that results weren't going to happen on their own. I knew something had to change.

After a few months of discipline and going to the gym regularly, I fell in love with training. I understood that there was much to be gained from investing in myself. I was so excited reach PRs, see my body change, and was feeling better than ever.

I often think back to 2016 me and wonder how different things would have been if she had someone to guide her along the way. I bet she would have fallen in love with fitness and nutrition earlier (and she would have saved herself tons of time and money from trying to figure things out on her own).

I am here for you! I want to help you gain confidence in yourself, your abilities and your body. I want you to make progress toward your fitness goals, whatever they may be.
