Julia is an incredible PT. Completely listened to my goal, great assessment of my overall fitness to ensure I get the most out of my workouts. She worked with me leading up to my wedding and pushed me with new and challenging exercises but was always working at the right pace for me. Thank you so much for the amazing workouts Julia and the knowledge I have taken with me! More...

Julia is incredibly kind and warm and genuinely cares - she's supportive, positive and is really on your side along with being an expert in weightlifting. I was having a rough time with my mental health and found Strong Ambition Method online to help me get some routine and self esteem back really. I had a phone call with Julia before we met where we talked about my goals, then a trial session to see how we got on. After 3 months I had biceps, and after 6 I changed my whole attitude to my body. ALSO - I work hunched over my laptop like a gremlin all day and haven't had any back pain since starting. A great feminist, safe and private space ❤️ More...

Julia is a lovely trainer, she’s very encouraging and kind. She‘s also very knowledgeable and I have felt positive results in my mood, energy and gains even after very few sessions.

I love my sessions with Julia!
She's extremely friendly and professional. She created a programme for me to work towards my goals, focusing on strength training and weights in a private Old Street studio.
She's also been great and patient in helping me recover from a small injury.

I have been training with Julia for 4 months and each session has been hugely empowering. Julia has been supportive every step of the way- fine tuning our sessions to work with my personal life, available to chat outside our sessions with a genuine keen, kind and caring interest. I began weight training to build strength and to feel ultimately stronger than I felt mentally, and it’s been such a joy so far. I’m thrilled with the progress Julia has guided me through and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings! Thank you, thank you! More...

Julia has been a rock for me. I feel myself getting stronger, both physically and emotionally, since we started working together. She is highly intuitive and kind, motivated and encouraging. I tried a few personal trainers before her and there is no comparison. She worked around my injuries and health conditions, so that we are rehabilitating and strengthening at the same time, and we work in a steady flow so I have not struggled with the ups and downs of training the way I have in the past. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Not to be cheesy, but so grateful to have found her :) More...

I am so thankful for the training I received from Julia and Strong Ambition Method. It was so convenient to do these sessions via Zoom. I am a middle-aged woman (in the USA) who was really stressed about going back to fitness training. I was dreading the painful process, but it was not such thing! Every morning I started with Julia was a wonderful start to the day. The weight training was rewarding without being intimidating. I felt zero judgment and stopped worrying about that -- I just enjoyed feeling better at last! More...

Julia runs strength training sessions with me me three times a week and provides two training plans so I can exercise independently. This has got me regularly training every weekday. Julia is brilliant to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone! More...

I wasn't totally sure what I was looking for in a PT, it was serendipity that julia responded. I hadn't realised that having a PT could also address my feelings of burn out and help me gain emotional strength too. I'm really enjoying our sessions - learning something new, and realising that a change in behaviour creates different results has been really uplifting. I feel like I can apply that analogy to all the parts of my life. I would totally recommend Julia, not only for the training, but because she is a really great person to spend an hour with each week.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to write a review :)
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Start small and slowly build a solid foundation of health habits that support your goals, replacing your old habits that hold you back.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Build muscle! That ‘tone’ most women desire is actually muscle and can be achieved through progressive lifting of weights and resistance training. BUT you do not have to spend hours and hours at the gym! With consistent training 2-3 a week and regular walking within a year you can make some massive changes.
Be (somewhat) patient. People over estimate what can be achieved within 3 months and under estimate what can be achieved in a year!
What do you love most about your job?
Helping women become more confident, less stressed and energised! And of course, stronger!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Personal training is my second career! Previously, I worked in technology consulting. I discovered that strength training really helped me manage my stress levels and mental health when I went back to work after maternity leave.
Going on this personal journey inspired me so much, that I decided to leave the corporate world in 2018, and in 2019 created and launched the Strong Ambition Method, where I re-trained as a Personal Trainer/fitness instructor/weightlifting coach.
Why should our clients choose you?
Whatever you are feeling right now, the likelihood is that I have felt something similar at some point and can relate!
I am a PT in my 40s, so plenty of life experience, patience, calm and a pragmatic approach to your training. Training should fit into your life, not the other way around :-)
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I can provide Personal training remotely. 45 mins or 60 mins online over Zoom. Often the best training approach is a hybrid approach, a mixture of online and in-person training.
