Science-backed virtual fitness classes and wellness for Every Body, including those 30+ experiencing hormonal, metabolic, or lifestyle shifts. Specialized support for women 40+ through perimenopause and postmenopause, plus a welcoming approach that helps men feel at ease with yoga and stretching. I make body changes less intimidating and more empowering.
I help anyone facing body changes feel healthier and stronger at every stage of life, virtually nationwide and in person across Northeast Ohio.
Hi, I’m Julia, the owner of Y.E.S. Fitness & Wellness.
before you scroll, meet julia
I’m a personal trainer, wellness educator, and movement specialist passionate about helping people feel empowered in their bodies — especially during seasons of change.
With a background in massage therapy, dance, and science-based training, I’ve spent years studying how bodies work and, more importantly, how they change. While I specialize in supporting women 30+ and 40+ through perimenopause and postmenopause, I also create an approachable space for men. Through movement, nutrition, and wellness, we've got this!
Everyone is welcome here! My work centers on women navigating midlife stages, but I've personally trained a number of men who seek better health, a deeper understanding of women’s experiences in midlife, and more confidence with yoga and stretching. Whether you feel overwhelmed or intimidated by traditional gyms, I’m here to help you feel better from the inside out.

Why women need a different approach and NOT 10 more reps.
Stronger through midlife
If you are a woman discouraged by energy and physical changes due to midlife transitions, I understand. I will train you differently, because your body is different. What works for a 30‑year‑old guy won’t work for a woman (sad, I know!).
Strength, nutrition, and mindset must adjust to hormones and metabolism. My programs skip “eat less, work out more” myths and focus on evidence‑based change. That’s why I focus on personalized movement, sustainable strength, and real education. This isn’t a “10 more reps” kind of thing! It’s about learning how your body works now, and how to work with it.
• Hormonal shifts require different training.
• Too few calories can stall weight‑loss.
• Joint‑friendly strength beats endless cardio.
• Education > gimmicks.
Julia is kind, motivating, and knowledgeable.
I felt seen and heard every step of the way. I was so impressed by her personalized approach to fitness and wellness. Coming out of the winter months, I was feeling sluggish and unmotivated, but she created a realistic plan for me. As someone who works from home, the virtual yoga and fitness classes are a must!
