Meet Julie, one of the brilliant coaches who makes up That Day’s core fitness team. Teaching five classes a week, Julie specialises in our Total Body Burner and BUILD sessions, as well as working one-to-one with a number of personal training clients.
Known for her great energy, encouraging approach and penchant for Drum & Bass, Julie brings plenty of motivation to every session. But don't just take our word for it. Here's a little more about Julie, her approach to fitness and what makes her classes so popular.
Get to know Julie
Favourite exercise: “Tough choice – can I pick two?! Deadlift and snatch.”
Coffee order: “A good flat white with oat milk.”
Always carrying: “My knee sleeves and hand grips.”
Current workout tune: “Tough choice again, as I have eclectic music taste, but for an intense workout, Drum & Bass on loud always works.”
Everyday essential: “Sounds obvious, but it would be my oversized tactical backpack. It doubles up as a portable wardrobe, a small equipment cupboard and a Boots the Chemist, ready for most eventualities.”
What classes does Julie teach?
Julie specialises in two of our strength-focused classes: BUILD and Total Body Burner. Both offer a great workout, but each takes a slightly different approach.
BUILD: Build strength for everyday life
Strength training supports so much more than what we do in the gym. From carrying the shopping to climbing the stairs, building strength can make everyday activities feel easier and help you feel more capable in your body.
In BUILD, Julie guides participants through a full-body session combining bodyweight and weighted exercises. Expect a balanced workout targeting the upper body, lower body and core, with opportunities to challenge yourself and build on your progress over time.
With consistent attendance, you'll have the chance to track your progress using your BUILD tracking sheet and see your strength develop over the weeks and months.
One of Julie’s regular BUILD attendees says “Julie is so good at what she does, she makes you feel capable and helps you throughout. She is constantly watching you to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly and she remembers everything you tell her about yourself. Her class is fun and a joy to attend.”
Total Body Burner: Strength meets cardio
If you're looking for a higher-tempo workout that gets your heart pumping, Total Body Burner is for you.
Sitting somewhere between a HIIT class and a strength session, this class combines higher-tempo, higher-repetition exercises with cardio elements to deliver a challenging full-body workout.
You'll leave feeling the burn, but Julie's encouraging approach helps make the session accessible, whatever your starting point. You can work at your own level while still giving yourself a challenge.
Some amazing feedback Julie got from one of her Total Body Burner attendees is “She’s brilliant at motivating us and it’s been totally transformative for me - the first time I’ve felt strong and fit in my life! Thanks Julie”
A trainer who makes a difference
A great fitness class is about more than the exercises on the timetable. It's about having a trainer who motivates you, helps you feel comfortable and makes you want to come back.
Feedback from Julie's classes highlights exactly that. Members regularly mention her patience, encouragement and ability to make people feel capable, while still challenging them to push themselves.
One of her Wardour Street regulars said “Julie is lovely, she keeps her routines consistent which I like and is really encouraging.” Another described her as “so kind and patient but challenging”, while a member at Northcliffe praised her knowledge and the way she looks after the group, calling her “an excellent teacher!”
It's particularly great to hear how Julie helps people build confidence in their own abilities. One member explained that the class is suitable for all levels, with the option to challenge yourself using heavier weights or more repetitions. They described Julie as extremely motivating and encouraging – exactly what you want from a trainer.
Find your strength with That Day
At That Day, we believe workplace fitness should be something people genuinely want to take part in. Great trainers are a big part of making that happen.
Julie’s classes show how strength training can be challenging, enjoyable and accessible, helping people develop their fitness while building confidence along the way.
