“I have been lucky enough to train with Julius since about the time I started high school. I was coming back from an injury when I started with him, and had viewed the entire process as just “part of the sport.” I would come to learn that fitness serves a purpose far beyond this. Julius would always teach me the why behind a certain movement or a program he wrote. This was invaluable in creating my confidence in the gym and gave me the autonomy that I now have. I am now in college and cannot imagine where I would be without the outlet that fitness serves in my life — and I have Julius to thank for this. Anyone who has the privilege to work with him will see not just how incredibly knowledgeable he is, but also his genuine care for others. Julius built a foundation for me that will stay for the rest of my life, whether it is the discipline I bring into my future endeavors, the respect that I treat others with, or the priority I place on my physical and mental well-being.”
