My Story | Julia Hale Fitness

Your goals are my goals.

To be healthy enough to move without pain. To be fit enough to do what you love without being frustrated by your body or energy levels. To find freedom and self-confidence in your own beautiful body…that plays an enormous role in your happiness.

My business and my passion revolves around you realizing your fitness and health goals.

How can I help you reach your goals?

1. By getting to know you before I tell you “I have just the plan for you” (this is not one-size-fits-all).
2. By making sure you not only set goals, but have an action plan to reach them, a set of tools and strategies to help you and a support system to celebrate your wins (because there will be wins, and you deserve to celebrate them).
3. By taking your questions and turning them into answers…taking your nerves and replacing them with motivation…taking your self-doubt and #yolo’ing it all the way to a past you don’t need to be stuck in.

I can’t work with everyone. There aren’t enough hours in the day. And you deserve to work with someone you connect with.

It didn’t happen in a day. It didn’t happen in a year. But it happened.

I lost a lot of time, a lot of laughter, a lot of LIFE thinking about calories and allowing my self-worth to be affirmed by a gym scale.

Not fair. Not worth it. Never going back.

And I don’t think that a woman has to be diagnosed with an eating disorder to feel as trapped as I did.

I was just a girl who’d lost her way and needed someone to tell her “the fight is worth it…YOU are worth it…and I can help”.

I’ll support you, but I’ll push you too.

You’ll take baby steps, but I might ask you to leave some stuff behind.

We’re going to focus on taking action.

Why? Because…no woman’s dreams came true by sitting there thinking about them. No woman ever changed her life by wishing it would get easier. No woman ever found freedom from the bullshit by following someone else’s rules.

But you’re not going after it alone.

That’s where I come in.

From Anorexia to Fitness Coach: My Story

I’m a self-proclaimed fitness fanatic, trainer and nutrition coach. I grew up a gymnast and volleyball player, where I first learned what kind of confidence and power you can build when you have a solid support system and surround yourself with powerful, strong women.

College was not an easy transition. Instead of those four years being the best years of my life, I lost myself completely and I almost lost my life.

With no sense of who I was or where I fit in without my friends, I threw myself into workouts and a strict diet regiment in an attempt to gain control. What started with good, if misinformed, intentions, turned into a years-long struggle with anorexia.

I lost a lot more than weight during those years. I lost control. I lost confidence. I lost friends. I almost lost my life.

It took years of professional help to recover and it’s what I experienced during that time that made me realize that in a large sense…

My story is not unique.

I know I’m not alone in feeling out of control. I’m not alone feeling overwhelmed. Every woman I have ever talked to has experienced guilt in regards to how she eats/works out/looks/feels/or acts. I KNOW that every woman out there wants the sense of confidence back (that one that was so natural before social media and our culture told her she should think of herself as not enough, or too much, or not worthy).

That’s why Julia Hale Fitness exists

In 2015, I became a personal trainer and started working with women looking to get fit, find happiness in their bodies and build a community of support. Julia Hale Fitness is that community – where you can come to realize your fitness and health goals, find a bottomless support system and build a strong, valuable community of like-minded women.

Now, What’s YOUR Story?

So, now that you know my story, let’s get to why you are really here. What’s YOUR story?

Maybe you have no idea how you landed on this page. Maybe you’re not really sure what you want to get out of reaching out to me (I’m super nice, I promise).

That’s perfectly fine. If you knew exactly what questions you need answers to and exactly how to put the answers to work, you’d be on Google, not JuliaHaleFitness.com.

Maybe you…

Need a workout that you jive with…one that works with your lifestyle instead of one that takes over your life (that won’t last long).

Can’t stand the onslaught of conflicting diet advice you find online. You just want to find what works for you (now, and always).

Are frustrated because you keep trying and nothing seems to be working!

Bounce between REALLY MOTIVATED to “when was the last time I worked out?” regularly.

Want to look good, feel great, dance like no one is watching…

or…

Maybe you could really use some help feeling less-guilty about wanting green smoothies AND white wine.

You want to have more kick ass gym days than “why am I here gym days”.

And really just want to feel like you’re living your best, healthiest and happiest life.

Girl, I get you.

And I’m so glad you’re here.

Use my story to spark change - you are worth it. If you suffer from an eating disorder, or know someone who does, please do not hesitate to seek help.
