What Our Clients Say
REYNU W., Professional Dancer
(Roanoke Ballet Theater)
As a ballet dancer, it’s hard to find a trainer I know I can trust. When I started working with Julia, I was hesitant at first, but with a little hand holding and a whole lot of encouragement, I started to love feeling stronger, and my technique improved tremendously! She knows exactly what she’s doing and will tailor workouts to what I feel I need more— sometimes we work on ballet specific exercises and sometimes we work on cardio more. She’s an extremely hard working person with such ambition. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
FRED N.
You can tell a lot of effort was put into the studio, very cozy and inviting. I felt a little out of my element at first but Julia quickly made me feel welcomed. She took the time to talk about my goals and any injuries incase any modifications would be needing during the session. My favorite part was that you could tell this was more than a business for her but a real passion. I couldn't imagine a better fitness experience if I tried.
AMY S.
I’ve been working with Julia for three years, and my body feels amazing! I’ve done a mix of small group sessions, PT, and Pilates and can’t believe how much stronger I’ve become. Plus, I just feel so much better in my body. Julia designs workouts that are challenging but fun and she will be your biggest cheerleader through them all. She has helped my overall confidence, improved my mental health, and transformed my relationship with fitness. I am so grateful and highly recommend her services to everyone!
CHRISTY H.
Julia is a fantastic instructor. She brings her many years of dance expertise and passion to me as a brand new adult learner. She makes it fun while sticking to the core of ballet fundamentals. She is quick to recognize each individual’s learning style and cues to help each of us improve and learn to move with grace. Thank you for making me laugh while learning to move my body in such a different way.
KATHLEEN S.
Perfect Intermediate Pilates mat class! The studio is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and very well equipped. Julia is knowledgeable and makes classes fun and enjoyable! In addition to Pilates, there are a variety of classes to choose from. I love playing in this space! I highly recommend Julia and Making Moves Fitness and Dance!
KATHERYN D.
Julia’s energy and attention to detail never flag, and never fail to amaze! Every class works ALL the muscles, with special attention to the core, of course, but every class is different. That’s one of her secrets to keeping us on our toes, and keeping us engaged, and amused too!
RACHEL R.
Incredible instructor. Absolutely loved her teaching style and banter. The flow of the class and the level of instruction was appropriate for all different levels of skill.
BETHANY A.
100/10. I love that Julia keeps your body and mind working intensely but is always mindful of keeping those joints safe. I love barre classes because you always know you'll get a great sweat, fabulous playlist, and fun cues!
EMILY C.
My teenager (16) and I (49) have been taking several classes per week together and independently. We have tried 3-4 formats, and our favorites to take together so far are Mat Pilates and Full Body Sculpt. Despite our age and fitness differences, Julia has embraced us both and helps us continue our movement journeys. We both look forward to continuing our weekly workouts. Truly friendly for any age!
