Having trained with Julie for over 4 years, I knew that I could trust her 100% to guide me through safe exercises during pregnancy and after the birth of my bubba – and she absolutely did!
Julie is friendly, approachable and highly professional. It is reassuring that she pays such attention to detail when it comes to technique and she really helps her class get the most from a workout. I have been to her Mum and Baby Fitness class and Holistic Core Restore Heat class, and I’m hoping to go to the Holistic Core Restore Heavy class when I feel ready. Thanks Julie for helping me get back into shape x
I’ve been going to the gym for years and never saw any results. However once I started training with Julie that changed and I now have definition in my shoulders and arms – she’s fab x
Every woman who has had a baby needs Julie in their lives !! Despite being very active and quite fit during last pregnancy my abs were not so happy nor was my pelvic floor especially after three sections! Julie was just what I needed and after a 6 week programme so much has changed in my life ( for the better ) … who else can say they went trampolining after 4m with NO leaks ! I also had the c-section scar massage which was amazing and so helpful for me to reconnect with how my babies had to arrive in the world.
The programme has had a real impact on my mental and physical well being all helped by the amazing Julie!
I had been looking to lose weight for some time but with my wedding fast approaching I contacted Julie to see if she could help me. I had not been doing exercise for a few years before starting and was really nervous but Julie has been incredible! I have been having a weekly PT session and group session since January and have lost a lot of weight. I’m really proud of myself but I could never have done it without Julie’s help and support. Not only has she been a great trainer, helping me to work towards my goals, she’s become an amazing friend who is willing to do anything to help me. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Julie is a fabulous motivator & trainer. I’ve never got bored, like I have with other PT’s, as the training is so varied. Julie somehow makes training fun whilst making you work hard & you suddenly realise that you are doing more than you were the previous week. The group sessions are fun & there is no hidding place, you still have to put the effort in but at your own pace. I’ve found that I’ve had less sports related injuries since training with Julie but when I have she has the knowledge to get me fixed quickly. Training & nutrition is Julie’s passion & it shows week in week out.
I went to Julie with a sensitive, hard & lumpy, pulling C-section scar. Julie gave me a complete top to toe once over (perhaps what our doctors should do at a 6week post natal check) she checked my breathing & my diastasis recti.
Julie used soothing moogwax during my massage, which smells and feels absolutely amazing. Using gentle touch, movements & her special massage tool Julie was able to ease my angry scar to a happy more settle scar that didn’t pull or drag during exercising or playing with my Son. I also felt some more sensation and feeling come back around and on my scar which I hadn’t felt since having my son in May 2018.
I can honestly say my breathing was better (I was able to take a deep full breath) and my ‘mummy shelf’ as I called it felt soo much better and easier when moving around etc and I’ve noticed such a difference with how much my C-section swelling has reduced since having the massage with Julie. I will definitely be visiting Julie again for another session.
Really enjoying Julie’s Core Restore Heavy classes. I’d been finding it difficult trying to fit exercise in with two small children and working, but I’m so glad I contacted her. Even if I’m really tired and feel like I’d rather stay at home, once I’ve been I feel so energised and happier in my mood. It’s hard work but in a good, safe way and she’s always on hand to offer help and advice. All the ladies in the class are really friendly and encouraging, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Julie is amazing, she really cares about her clients, works incredibly hard, knows her stuff and really, really motivates you to achieve your goals.
Julie is superb! After a second c-section, I was keen to get back exercising in the right way to lose weight and tone up. As a mother herself, she totally understands the difficulty in not only getting out of the house with a new baby, but also being able to get out and properly exercise with someone monitoring and encouraging you.
After having many health issues and surgery Julie at The Happy Body Project has given me back my strength by 1-1 PT sessions and I have experienced amazing results on my scars by massage. The Barre classes are always fun and even when it gets hard work Julie manages to make you smile. I’ve never felt fitter, healthier & happy!
I have been going to Julie’s Heavy class for over 4 months now and absolutely love it! She is so knowledgeable, plans activities that are challenging but not impossible and my confidence has definitely increased because of the post-class buzz!
Happy Body Project is by far the best thing I have done for my post natal journey! Both physically and mentally, it has been amazing. The mum and baby classes are fantastic; tailored specifically to post natal recovery so all exercises are safe, plus your baby is with you and “socialising” with other babies too! There is no worry about having to tend to your baby during class, or that they’re going to cry and put others off, we’re all in the same boat!
I have also had a c-section massage with Julie which was again fantastic, I noticed results immediately and was shown techniques to carry on with at home. I will definitely be rebooking!
Julie is an excellent personal trainer, her focus on gentle postnatal recovery is brilliant and made me realise I needed to give myself a break and slowly improve my core strength. I am a year postnatal now and I feel fitter and more confident than ever, her classes provide an excellent workout and are great fun. Julie is extremely knowledgable and her advice on diet and exercise is clear and easy to follow. In the first stages of postnatal recovery her “HEAT” class allows you to reconnect with yourself with a small group of ladies going through the same thing, she provides a safe space to ask questions and it is reassuring to know that most people have gone through similar things. I look forward to Julie’s classes every week and they are a great mood enhancer. I never fail to leave Barre class with a smile on my face!
Julie has helped me get back into exercise since 8 weeks post partum. Her classes are varied and suitable for all abilities. I cannot recommend her enough to new mums. Julie is so lovely, she is knowledgeable and supportive. She really looks after us and makes sure we exercise safely, and of course have fun.
I am the poster girl for hating exercise, but signed up to Julie’s Core and Restore class a couple of months after giving birth…in 6 weeks I lost lots of inches and kgs, and feel incredibly strong in my core and pelvic floor. Now moved onto the Heat class, which is as it sounds! Julie explains well, helps us out with food ideas and most importantly to me, patient when i need something explaining for the thousandth time! A great positive person to be around at this time of my life with a 7 month old depriving me of sleep!
Julie is a great personal trainer, she absolutely knows her stuff. Everyone is made to feel equal no matter what your fitness level is. I thoroughly enjoy the group sessions, they are a great workout & we always have a laugh too which takes away some of the pain all in all what Julie achieves for her clients is results. Thank you for what you do for us xx
Julie has worked her magic on my C section scar. I went last week for a massage on the scar and surrounding area. We spent a lot of time doing some release work and the transformation is fantastic. I can’t fault the service at all. Julie is welcoming and friendly and takes her time to listen and understands the impact a scar can have on your mental health. Would highly recommend.
Tailored exercise for post natal Mummies has been an absolute dream for me. I kept fit throughout my pregnancy and was really keen to get back in to fitness, but knew I needed to take care of my body. Julie is knowledgeable, kind and a pleasure to be around, and I’ve loved her classes. I really think all new mums should seriously consider these classes as I found the energy and endorphins to be a tonic for the sleepless nights!
I had an absolutely brilliant pregnancy massage with Julie. I was hoping to feel a little less tight in certain areas (upper/lower back & calves) but left with so much more. Julie is an expert in customising her treatments to your needs, and as well as feeling pampered I learned so much about what my body is going through. Even some takeaway stretches and exercises for the last trimester & postnatal. Felt wonderful afterwards, can’t recommend enough!
