## Approach + philosophy

- Full-body training programs (not bro splits) built around progressive overload and intent, not "run yourself into the ground" bootcamp intensity.
- Nutrition coaching centered on custom macros, 90% whole foods, sufficient protein (~1g per lb bodyweight), adequate hydration, daily movement (target 10,000 steps), and prioritized sleep.
- Long-term sustainability over dramatic short-term results. Programs designed to work around real life (kids, travel, shift work, busy careers, injuries, medications like GLP-1s or SSRIs).
- Pre and postpartum programming is evidence-based and specialist-designed by Julie, not generic scaled-back general training.

## What we're not

- Not a bootcamp or group fitness class.
- Not a "6-week transformation" gimmick brand.
- Not aggressive marketing or price anchoring. The coaching is priced at its real value and the free resources exist to help even people who never become paying clients.
- Not affiliated with any supplement company. When supplements are recommended in the blog, it's independent, based on evidence, and never a paid placement.
