Best workout experience I've ever had! I work with both Julie and Daniel and they both push me to be my best (even when it's hard), while at the same time listening to me if I feel an exercise needs to be modified. They focus on my needs as a client, and genuinely care about my continued progress and well-being. They are professional, knowledgeable, and give guidance that really sticks whether I'm in the gym or at home. As someone who struggles with gym anxiety and insecurity, I feel so comfortable here as if I'm around friends / family. I can't say enough good things about Activate Fitness + Nutrition. 10/10 recommend to anyone interested in private or semi-private training!

Customized programs that really focus on what you want. This is not a one size fits all way of approaching fitness. Julie and Daniel meet you where you are and work as partners to help you achieve the results you want.

I have been a client at Activate for several years. Julie and Daniel are both amazing trainers. They truly want you to meet and exceed your fitness and lifestyle goals. I have successfully been able to continue training through injuries due to their knowledge and ability to make adjustments. I am so happy I discovered Activate. I have increased my strength (physically and mentally), I feel great, and have developed a great friendship with both Julie and Daniel.

I have gained tremendous strength and agility while always enjoying my sessions. They are equally adept at vigorous athletic conditioning, as they are at gentle introductions to fitness. I can’t say enough about the depth and breadth of their expertise and care.

It's been 7 years since I've came to Julie with the purpose to loose some weight and "activate fitness" . Both goals have been achieved, but I've stayed for training. ACTIVATE fitness & nutrition provides the best personal training around, Julie and Daniel, is a dynamo couple. Through Covid and all other life challenges, they stay focused on providing the best personal training possible, personal, being an operative word. They take into consideration all the physical limitations, like injuries and such, the clients might have and adjust the program according. The studio is amazing too, bright and airy, extremely clean.

ACTIVATE Fitness + Nutrition is a business that I rely on for my long-term health and wellness. As a typical busy person with a job and family, it is hard to find the time to truly exercise and do it correctly, safely and most efficiently. With Julie, Daniel and the entire operation, ACTIVATE is a critical service for my health and fitness. I can honestly say, as someone with life-long back issues, I feel better now, in my late 40s, than I did in my 30s! Make an appointment now! You will be grateful you did.

I started with Activate nine months ago because I needed a way to push myself without the injuries I kept getting on my own. Julie and Daniel are just fantastic and continually adapt my program so I am pushing myself without the 'no pain no gain' attitude that always caused me to have setbacks. I was always skeptical of remote training and didn't think I could stay as engaged as I was at their studio, but I am happy to say I was wrong. Keeping my fitness routine going while staying at home has been a huge part of my mental and physical self care. They are still able to tell when my core isn't engaged or suggest corrections to my form to ensure I am getting the most out of every exercise. I'm looking forward to getting back to the studio, but I am so grateful that they also make training at home a rewarding experience.

I've been training with Julie and Daniel for 18 months now, with my goal focusing on building a strong, more resilient body as I age. While I worked out regularly elsewhere, I recognized that I would be better served being one-on-one with a trainer with a positive, encouraging and knowledgable approach. Until I met Julie, I didn't feel comfortable taking this next step, as I don't respond well to being bullied and yelled at (who does?). Waiting to find the right fit was worth it; I am so grateful to have found the her and made this move. I was even more grateful when the restrictions related to Covid-19 were recently put in place and we had to move to training remotely. Julie and Daniel already had a well-established protocol for working with clients who were traveling, and the transition was pretty much seamless. My retro-fitted home "gym", done with their assistance, is not fancy but very utilitarian, using hand weights, a kettle bell or two and a stability ball. Thanks to them, I am staying strong and healthy in both body and mind during this stressful time. I can't wait to move back into the gym, but either way, am so thankful that I have Activate Fitness in my corner no matter what.

I'd had a few trainers before I've met Julie a few years ago. She is the best, extremely professional, very attuned to all the physical, and some times mental

The owner Julie is not only an extremely educated professional but also a truly caring individual. She not only helped me set realistic goals for my body and life style but has been so supportive in helping me achieve them. Ive been utilizing her e-training since I moved and I couldn't be more grateful she offers this service!

A unique, personal experience. Not only for muscles, but for working on sports injuries as well. It's not about pounds, it's about building your health. No intimidation. I've been working with Julie for over 8 years and it's been great for my body and great for mind.

I love Julie! Although I wasn't able to continue classes for very long, she was always challenging and motivating every week! She was flexible and worked with my schedule.
