From the first contact with Happy Body project I could tell Julie was very professional and all about doing things right. She asked about my birth and my recovery. At my first class she assessed my abdominal muscles.
I’ve been working with Julie for a while now and can really see an improvement in my core strength and strength in general. Her classes are always fun and she always comes up with alternative moves if you are not feeling great or you’ve damaged something. She keeps us posted on healthy foods and recipies and always goes the extra mile for everyone.
I would recommend her to anyone.
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.
I had c section scar tissue massage on my scar with Julie 13 weeks PP. it was relaxing and not painful at all. Julie was lovely and I was amazed at the difference in my scar after just an hours treatment. Afterwards she emailed me techniques she used which my scar responded well to so that I can do them on myself. She was really knowledgeable and I felt comfortable the whole way through.
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!
I feel stronger and leaner. After 3 children my pelvic floor is stronger and has had some much needed strengthening!
Julie is fantastic. She makes working out really enjoyable (who knew!), being a Mum of two herself and looking as good as she does provides serious motivation. She really cares and talks genuine sense, no jargon or mumbo jumbo.
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!
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!
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 brilliant! She is welcoming, approachable and extremely knowledgeable! She really takes pride and care in her job ! She is happy to individualise training needs ! I was able to do her HCR course throughout my 2nd pregnancy and feel comfortable & safe whilst doing this!
Her mum & baby class is a really good class to get you back into exercise safely it not only helps you strengthen your core & pelvic floor muscles but it also just helps you regain back some of your confidence!
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 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!
Following x2 operations on my cervix I was told I needed to strengthen my pelvic floor or face possible complications during pregnancy. I went through a few Personal Trainers who didn’t have the correct experience before I found Julie. She is professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel completely at ease. Her classes are fun, varied and thorough and I always look forward to them. After 6 weeks I can already feel a difference and have signed up for more without hesitation. Thanks Jules!
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.
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 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.
Julie’s classes are fabulous. Her knowledge and professionalism are second to none. I’ve always been a bit rubbish with diet and exercise but Julie’s post natal classes helped me no end after my son was born and helped me get in to the best condition I have ever been in. Highly recommended!!
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
I had a C section massage recently. didn’t know if I’d benefit or what it would actually involve but even after 18 months I’m so glad I did it!! What Julie doesn’t know about a post natal body isn’t worth knowing! She is so knowledgable and explains everything so well. Highly recommend the C section massage to anyone who has had one – however long ago!!
