YULESFITNESS

“When I started my journey with Julia, I was convinced that I was the most un-fittest person in the world. Over the years, I kept wasting money on gyms and fitness apps that I ended up not using. I just couldn’t motivate myself. The will was always there, but I simply lacked the expertise. Most home workouts were “too hard,” too long, caused me pain, and I never knew what I was doing wrong – so I always gave up rather quickly. When I started training with Julia’s help, everything changed. Julia sees each person for what they are – an individual! Everyone has a different starting point, a different level they begin at. What works for you might not work for me. She tailors every plan specifically to you, goes through it with you, and truly wants to get to know the person and their background. Because fitness is about so much more than just the body – and that’s something I’ve learned through Julia. She manages to help you develop your own motivation, to actually find JOY and FUN in exercising. She celebrates even the small successes with you. She shows you that the moments you might label as failures are, in fact, successes. She changes your mindset and helps you integrate fitness into your life in the long term – so it no longer feels like a burden. You can tell that this is her passion and that she has deep knowledge, including about the differences between men and women in fitness and nutrition.
What I really want to say is this: Julia helped me achieve what I once thought was impossible — I WANT to exercise now; I don’t see it as a task to check off. And for that, I want to thank her and can only recommend that everyone experience for themselves the way she works and who she is.”

“Jules is such a fun, bubbly, encouraging and knowledgeable PT. She has a way of making you feel so empowered whilst also correcting as you as needed and sharing her knowledge so you can get the most out of your workout. Of all the PT’s and trainers I’ve come across, Jules is one above the rest.“

Always providing guidance on exercises or form, inspiring about setting new goals and creates a welcoming and fun atmosphere that makes it enjoyable to work out! I loved my time working out with Julia, highly recommend!“

“I had the joy of welcoming Julia Thissen to our Coming Home to Yourself retreat at the Yarra Valley Lodge, where she led a one hour mindful movement session that was beautifully aligned with our participants, the flow of the retreat and the content we were exploring together. Julia created a space that was genuinely open to every body. Whether participants were highly active or needed additional support, each person was met exactly where they were, and no one was left behind. Her way is soft, open and gently curious. Rather than instructing, she invited. Rather than pushing, she allowed. The result was something quite special: a group that felt deeply connected, both to themselves and to one another, and many who discovered they could move in ways they had perhaps never realised were possible. Julia’s session was a true gift to our retreat, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking mindful movement offered with care, presence and grace.”

“Julia is the best trainer you could wish for. She is motivating, but in a unique way. You can feel her passion for fitness, and thanks to her vast expertise, I was able to learn a lot about fitness and health. She writes varied programs that are fun and tailored precisely to your current level of difficulty. If an exercise is uncomfortable or anything else is wrong, she is super quick to adjust the program to your needs. She is not a run-of-the-mill coach, but responds to you individually. She has a charisma that makes you feel comfortable at all times, and I was able to develop a whole new relationship with exercise and nutrition. Even though I know from Julia that it takes perseverance and time, I can already see results after just 4 months. It’s hard to put into words how much more quality of life I have thanks to Julia and her coaching. I feel fitter, healthier, and less tired. I am in tune with my body and have a positive self-image. I can absolutely recommend her; she is worth every penny. It’s best to see for yourself, because as I said, it’s hard to put into words the feeling she gives you. But she is definitely more than ‘just a fitness coach.’”

“It only took a few sessions training with Julia to completely change the way I exercise. She gave me simple techniques that I now implement in every workout, which has made a tremendous difference in results and how I feel. Not only was her communication clear and her motivation techniques strong, I also had a lot of fun with her which I think is the most important attribute in a PT. Highly recommend.”

“We were delighted to have Yules deliver a mindful movement session as part of our Women’s Health Week program. The session was engaging, practical and accessible to all staff. It provided a valuable opportunity for our team to step away from their usual workday and focus on movement, mindfulness and wellbeing. The feedback from our employees was very positive, and it was great to see everyone getting involved and taking some time for themselves.“

“Julia is an incredible trainer, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her clients. I was really nervous returning to exercise after a long break, but she made me feel at ease from the very first session. Over four sessions she helped me build core strength, get into a consistent routine, and feel so much more energized. She’s encouraging without being pushy, and even followed up each session personalized advice. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to start or level up their fitness journey!”
