““I’ve had trainers in the past.  All good, but none that compare to Julie.  She loves what she does and it shows!  Julie is patient, insightful and incredibly knowledgable.  She designs customized work-outs,  that suit any need, want, or limitation.  She keeps you interested and keeps your workout interesting.  Love her!!””

““Julie has been my coach for over 2 years. She has motivated me through the months of pain waiting for my knee replacement. She has pushed me through my physical therapy after my surgery and now, after 9 months with my new knee, has brought me to a total recovery. She is the reason I totally changed my life style. She inspires me, motivates me and exercising has become an integral part of my life.” ”

““I started training with Julie when I was about 4 months pregnant. I requested a trainer that would tailor my workout to accommodate my needs as a pregnant woman. She far exceeded my expectations. She customized every workout to meet my needs. As my pregnancy went further along, she continued to completely adapt my workout to meet the physical limitations I had. By the time I had my son in late November 2015, I had gained 40lbs.

Post baby, I started to workout again with Julie. She once again did the research and planning to assure my workouts were a perfect fit for a postpartum woman after a C-section.

Now, 50 lbs lighter and feeling better than I ever have, I can thank Julie for a huge part of that. I would recommend her without hesitation! She is a smart, thoughtful and prepared trainer. She fits the workout to fit me as my needs change, she adapts to the changes without any issues. I plan to continue my training with her indefinitely.

I could really go on forever :-)””

““I have known Julie for over a year and have had the pleasure of working out with her during 2 pinnacle moments in my life. The first being post-pregnancy. Julie was incredibly sensitive to my fitness goals and helped me get back on track. After our workouts I felt stronger, more motivated and found myself back to my pre pregnancy weight within 6 months! Currently, I am training with Julie and am 15 weeks pregnant. Julie is very intuitive to what workouts would benefit me the most, customizes them, and encourages me to stay strong througout my pregnancy for a healthy delivery and quick turnaround to post-pregnancy weight! I am thrilled to be working with her and will continue to gain knowledge from her expertise. I recommend Julie to anyone that wants to focus on their fitness goals, gain strength, flexibility and motivation.””

““I enjoyed training with Julie for many reasons, more than I can list. I especially liked the variety of exercises she gave me in a 6 week period. This helped me from getting bored. Also, using a variety of exercises helps to sculpt the body and give an appearance of longer leaner muscle.

Julie stays up to date with the latest scientific research information and exercises. This way she helps the client prevent injury and helps them reach their fitness goals in a timely manner. She is able to work with client’s physical limitations. She checks in with the client while introducing each new exercise to make sure that the exercise is not injuring the client in any way.

Julie uses exercises that target the specific areas of concern as well as setting up routines that challenge every muscle in the body. For me it was strengthening the lower core in order to support herniated discs in the lower back. Julie includes exercises that can be done in any environment with or without equipment in order to accommodate those who do not have time to go to the gym.

Julie is knowledgeable in nutrition and encourages the clients, in a positive manner, to make small changes in their diet in order to maximize the effort they exert in their workouts. She never uses demeaning language or judges the client in any way.

Julie has flexible hours and willing to work with client’s schedule. I am so grateful for her knowledge and expertise.””

“Julie embodies everything you want from a trainer… tons of knowledge, fabulous attitude and just the right amount of patience and “pushing”. I am so impressed with her creative repertoire of the most up-to-date, I never saw before methods AND her knowledge of traditional methods. Lastly, she cares! You can tell she loves what she does, and during a session, she is focused on you and your wellbeing. Oh, and as a client, she shares ongoing encouragement and helpful hints!

”

““Julie is very professional, really knows what she does, changes my program constantly and does not give my body a break; and the results are obvious. I have gained a lot of core strength, I am  toned without being too muscular, which is exactly what I had asked her, and have also gained a lot of cardio capacity and endurance. Aside from that she is really a nice girl, respectful, gentle, pleasant to be around and is very flexible scheduling class hours. I absolutely recommend working out with her. ””

““I became acquainted with Julie Meltzer at my local YMCA pool when she started teaching arthritis water classes. In the ten years that I have been taking these classes, I have had many instructors, but Julie was the very best teacher in all that time.

I wanted to improve my balance and strength. When I learned that she was a physical trainer, I asked if she worked with older people. She said yes and consented to help me.

Julie came to my home once a week for fourteen weeks up until the time she moved from San Diego. Each week she brought equipment and showed me how to use what was in my home. The exercises were varied, challenging, and appropriate for me. She wrote down detailed instructions for the exercises so that I could repeat them on my own during the week. I am grateful for these written records for continuing workouts.

Thanks to her, my balance and strength have improved. Julie is a very professional, caring, perky, young lady with the most perfect posture. To work with her was always a joy. I miss her greatly. “

““I’ve been working out at the gym for thirty years but never placed enough focus on strengthening my core muscles. Julie is an excellent trainer who developed a set of exercises specifically to help strengthen my core without injuring my lower back. I have a sequestered disc in my lower back so I have to be extremely careful at the gym. Through Julie’s guidance, my core muscles are much stronger and my lower back feels good. Julie is extremely knowledgeable about exercises and worked with me to create a plan with variations in order to build muscle. She always has a great attitude and is a pleasure to work with!”

““I know Julie on the professional level. I am a physical therapist who owns a practice in Boise. Julie reached out to me about shadowing in outpatient physical therapy in an effort to increase her knowledge about various conditions and patient progression from therapy to the personal training environment. Julie has proven to be incredibly studious. She asked valid and pointed questions that provoked great discussions. She also kept detailed notes in an effort to retain the knowledge. I am glad I have met and worked with Julie. I am happy to refer people to her and am confident that she will stay true to science and logic in her practice.””

““Julie is amazing! I look forward to training with her every week. She does a great job of making sure we work each muscle group during our sessions and no two sessions are ever the same. Julie has a great personality, is motivating and very easy to talk to. She listens to your wants and needs for each work out, Julie has a special ability to know just how much to push you. Our workouts are never easy but she also doesn’t make them so hard that I get discouraged. I have been strength training with Julie weekly for 4 months now and have seen great results in both my appearance and just feeling of overall strength.”

She also skillfully helped me strengthen my legs before a knee replacement which greatly improved by recovery and ability to regain full functionality. I highly recommend Julie!””
