Julia Woensdregt
BCRPA Fitness Theory, Weight Training, Personal Training, and Group Fitness

Julia has always placed health and fitness at the forefront of her life. From an early age she benefited from the fitness education courses taught by her mother, Christina Truscott. Julia spent many hours in the gym day care sitting at the back of the aerobic studio watching classes and, when she was of age, as a participant. She also took part in track and field, soccer, dance, horseback riding, martial arts, and running.

Julia found her true passion in fitness and fitness education in early 2008. From a person who was intimidated by free weights and found machines boring, to completing half marathons and bodybuilding, Julia understands that not everyone finds going to the gym the highlight of their day. She believes that with proper instruction and program planning, every person can learn to enjoy their gym experience and that they can and will see results.

Julia wants her clients to know their body and to understand how to safely make their body stronger and leaner while achieving their full potential. She enjoys passing on her knowledge of improving body and mind through fitness and healthy eating to her clients and other trainers-to-be.

Julia is certified through BCRPA in Fitness Theory, Weight Training, Personal Training, and Group Fitness and currently assists in the education of others in these areas. She has been educated in bootcamp, indoor cycling, small group training, proper running technique, bodybuilding, plyometrics, and more. Julia is currently continuing her formal education to receive a BA in Athletic and Exercise Therapy.

Testimonials

Here is what some of Julia's clients had to say...

"I was paired with Julia in August 2010. I was looking for sports-type training because I am an avid skier and downhill mountain biker. To reach my fitness goals my program included lots of legs, core, and plyometric exercises. As I’ve gotten stronger my workouts have become increasingly harder and more physically demanding. It has gotten to a point where I will egg Julia on to try and break me.

All this hard work on both Julia’s and my part has given me huge gains in appearance, stamina, and strength. I have had the best ski season ever. My legs are rock solid. I am able to hike the ridgelines higher and faster than ever before, and still have lots left in the tank for powerful and controlled descents.

The mountain biking season is starting up and my first trip was yesterday. I pedaled my 40lb free ride bike with a single front sprocket up Mt Tzhouhalm in full riding gear. I have never been able to do that.

It is great to apply all this hard work and see such rewarding results. I am so motivated to keep going and can’t wait to see what next year will bring. Thank you Julia!”
