My specialities include indoor and outdoor boot camp (intensive small group training programs), as well as the TRX Suspension Trainer.

Julia is a true inspiration. She went through her own struggles with weight and was successful! Julia is knowledgeable and very professional. She mixes things up and keeps it fun! I have been able to do things I never dreamed I could! Julia has a very positive attitude and a wonderful personality. She loves what she does, and dies it very well.

I trained with Julia 3 three times a week for the past two months. Julia is wonderful trainer! Her personality makes the workout fun and enjoyable. She is also someone that anyone can relate to. She understands the pain and/or struggles that you are going through and she is there to support you and guide you. She is more than a trainer, she becomes a mentor. She is also an inspiration. Since working out with Julia I have seen great results! Everyone has complimented me on how great I look just after working out with Julia for one month. I have become stronger physically and mentally thanks to her help. Julia knows how to safely challenge and push you so you can reach your highest potential. She is also very knowledgable about fitness and nutrition. She truly cares about her clients. She has definitely changed my life and made me realize that sky is the limit.
I honestly think that Julia is the best trainer in the area. I would highly recommend working with Julia if you want to see great results!

Julia's passion and energy is contagious! After taking just one class or having one personal training session with her it is obvious that she is amazingly talented and truly inspires you to transform your mind and body. What is also a bonus is how much fun we have as well! I am excited to continue to work with Julia and would recommend that you utilize her expertise as well. I'm confident that anyone will agree with my comments after just one session with Julia Wells.

I just finished bootcamp with Julia and I've also taken TRX classes with her. She is AWESOME... she's fun, motivating, and really knows her stuff... I also really like that she takes the time to give personal attention as much as possible during group classes. I've only been working with her for 6 weeks and I'm really excited about the results I've seen so far. I'm looking forward to starting another session of bootcamp with her!! If you have the opportunity to work with Julia I encourage you to do it.. you won't be disappointed! :)

I have taken a few Zumba classes in NYC and in CT and have also tried two different sets of Zumba DVDs at home. By far, Julia has been the best and most engaging Zumba instructor and her classes have been the most fun. Julia incorporates her own choreography, which makes exercise feel more like real dancing. She is friendly and easy to follow. After taking her class, I haven't wanted to take Zumba with anyone else. ~AM Torres
