TULA

Julia is the most amazing personal trainer I have had the pleasure of training with. She has been my trainer for about 4 years now and she has helped me overcome some serious back and hip pain. She has made me a much stronger person and has empowered me to continue to challenge myself. I have lost weight, gained strength, and confidence in my ability to persevere on my wellness journey. She is kind, compassionate, enthusiastic and always willing to help me to achieve my fitness goals.

I have been working with Julia for strength training for 4 years now. My goals where to increase upper body strength and maintain strength and balance as I age.I’ve found personal training to be the best investment on my strength and allows me to continue the sports I love.Julia is always completely focused on ensuring I understand proper technique. With her guidance, I continue to gain strength, balance and technique, engaging muscles I never knew I had.

Julia has been one of the most important constants in my life the past four years. She has helped me get into the best shape of perhaps my entire adult life! (After twin pregnancy seven years ago, I truly thought fitness was a lost cause.) Julia is such a valuable partner to have alongside you, on your fitness journey!We've been working together on so many progressive and evolving goals for all of these years, it is hard to quantify all that she has helped me to accomplish. I have achieved things that I specifically was certain I could NOT do. Through the four years of being trained by Julia, I have completed 2 half marathons, 5 Spartan races, & an 11-mile trail race. I’m training now for a virtual marathon; I've also trimmed my visceral fat level from 11 in 2018 to 6 in 2021, measured through InBody metrics. I've decreased fat, increased my muscle tone and volume, and built excellent habits into my diet and exercise routine.During March 2020, she quickly adapted our workouts to be conducted virtually, and just did not miss a beat. It was a challenging time but Julia supported me through the pandemic in helping me focus on what I could control. Increasing my physical activity and continuing to train together twice weekly helped me lose 15lbs over 6 months, even during the global pandemic when my weight could have easily gone the opposite direction. I also started to implement daily workouts with Julia's support, on top of our training - and this is certainly what kept me from going completely insane during this unprecedented time.I am SO grateful for the expertise, professionalism, friendship, and most importantly for Julia's unwavering commitment to my fitness!

Excellent. ...a lovely addition to the wellness scene in Vermont.Julia and the Tula Kula wellness collective focus on mind-body wellness with healthy daily movement, strength, and physical conditioning.I have really enjoyed my fitness sessions there. Julia brings a kind, welcoming demeanor paired with significant knowledge of physical well-being (and more!).Through the partnership program, she is able to bring several areas related to health and well-being into a lovely vintage space in Downtown Burlington, Vermont. She has also carved out a unique niche with regional artists through monthly markets.I'm confident there will be many more great things to come to the Tula Kula wellness collective!

Julia is a positive, enthusiastic, and effective health coach. I have taken both group fitness classes and private sessions with Julia. Julia knows just how far to push, but has also helped me realize my body is capable of much more than I realized. I enjoy every session with Julia, she has created a space I feel safe in when working out.

I’ve been training with Julia for years and am so excited to now train with her in her own space. Her group classes are amazing and seem to be just the right mix of challenging and energizing. The wellness community that she is building is both brilliant and so necessary. I can’t wait to see what Tulakula looks like in a year!
