About Jules

Strength coach and former collegiate rower. I train people in small studios and living rooms with kettlebells, bodyweight, and a lot of patience. Plant-powered since 2018 — ask me about protein, I beg you. All equipment is wiped down with vegan cleaner before and after every session.

Jules is absurdly good at explaining a hinge without making you feel stupid. Started ten minutes late because of the train, texted ahead, and still gave me the full hour. My back has never been happier.

Great coach and a genuinely thoughtful program. Booking six sessions at once was a leap; two had to be rescheduled, but Jules made it right without drama. My squat is up 20 pounds and my back hurts less.
