What Jules' clients have to say
"After having my first child, I wanted to get back into shape and have fun. I discovered Jules through Srollercise and her Mom/Baby Fitness classes. Not only does she know her stuff when it comes to physical training but she is both motivating and inspiring. Nobody else I know can get me to run outside in -25 degree temperatures and do countless pushups all with a smile on my face. Jules is phenomenal!!! I am now back at work and have a very limited amount of time for exercise but I always make time for her cardiokickboxing class. It is the one great workout I am guaranteed each week." Henrietta, Strollercise mom and fitness class participant
"As a member of the Strollercise running club for parents and babies, I have benefitted from the guidance of Jules, who leads the program. Jules has outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills. In addition, her expertise and hard work have made the group program exceptional on quality. Always enthusiastic and positive, Jules knows how to encourage and motivate. She is inclusive of all, supporting each individual's goals and successes." Chari, Strollercise mom
"Working with Jules has been the high-light of my week. She took my goals very seriously and arrived at each session with new ideas and lots of enthusiasm. Her positive attitude and her great fitness know-how helped me surpass my goals." Mary, Personal Training client
"I love the Bootcamp with Jules at the Glebe Community Centre. I've attended almost every class she has offered since my daughter was six weeks old (she is now over 7 months old). Jules is great with the babies, but more importantly, she always makes sure the moms get an excellent workout. It never gets boring because she introduces new moves every class. She also offers lots of options so that both those just starting out (and feeling less fit after childbirth) and the veterans all feel challenged." Meghan, fitness class participant
"I have been studying martial arts for 5 years; I hold the title of Shodan, (Black belt). Jules' cardio kickboxing class has shown me my weaknesses as a martial artist and how to improve them. You will never be disappointed with Jules' cardio kick boxing class; it is worth more than the price of admission" Sensei Peter, fitness class participant
"I first met Jules shortly after the birth of my twin girls in April 2005. Someone told me about a strollercise program for mums and babies run out of ‘Boomerang Kids’ on Bank Street and I joined the group as soon after the birth of my daughters as I could. Jules leads this group and was warm and welcoming from day one. She is full of an infectious energy and enthusiasm, which is impossible to resist. This energy and enthusiasm is likely the reason she has as many as 40 or 50 women out running, walking and strolling some days. I understand that Jules also has her own business and does personal training. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer. Jules has been remarkably successful in a challenging position. As the fitness instructor in charge of the strollercise program she coaches/trains a group of women who vary considerably in their fitness levels and interests. She has managed to design a program, which appeals to women with very different goals. The result is that everyone from women who never have and never want to run to marathon runners feel challenged and excited about her program and keep coming back for more. I returned to work almost four months ago now but still try to join the strollercise group for a run whenever I get a chance. I look forward to the excellent workout I know I will get, the positive reinforcement and the chance to catch up with Jules and many of the women I have gotten to know through this program." Julia, Strollercise mom
"I have been attending Jules' classes (Have a Ball with Mom at Starr Gymnastics, and at the GNAG) since shortly after my son was born last summer. I give full credit to Jules for not only helping me get my pre-baby body back, but also for making sure that post-partum depression came nowhere near me! Her professionalism and creativity with designing work-outs, combined with her constantly fresh sense of humour makes every class feel new and fly by. They're always worth coming out for" Jen, fitness class Participant
"The hills are a little steeper, the drills are a little harder... and my butt looked WAY better in a bathing suit because of it. ;-) Jules, your outdoor arboretum 'experience' (so much more than a class!) was the best mommy/baby workout ever. Being outside just makes it so much more fun too...the time passes like nothin'..." Erin, Summer Outdoor Fit Participant
"After trying several disappointing "mom & baby" fitness classes that failed to give me the work-out I was looking for - I found Jules!!! She has the unique ability to motivate, challenge and inspire each woman individually, regardless of her fitness level or goals. Whether I am running intervals at strollercise, attempting some seemingly impossible move at ball class, or enduring the sheer brutality of mom and baby boot camp, Jules always pushes me to work harder than I thought I could. She continually introduces new exercises and different conditioning methods, which means that every work-out with Jules is fresh and fun! Although I didn't think it was possible, she has helped me reclaim my six-pack after having twins - and have fun doing it - Thanks Jules!! Heather, mother of three, Strollercise and Fitness Class Participant
"I first met Jules at a fitness class at the Glebe Community Centre years ago when she came to substitute another teacher. I was not much of a fitness fan but Jules's wonderful energy, her inspriring class was enough for me to enrol in her kickboxing class. There is no class in which she doesn't excel, in which her wonderful cheerful disposition, her knowledge of the anatomy and physiology, her contageous good mood do not transfer to us. It is a pure joy looking forward to her classes, participating in them, and going home with a refreshed, energetic feeling. I couldn't think of anyone being this inspiring. Surely she has a magnetic, nice personality that makes all of us working out look forward to each class by Jules." Sasa, participant of Jules's Kickboxing class
