Wow, haven't been on this page in a year! So since I took a semester off and I know theres a lot of out-dated things on this page, I decided to make a new page for this year's classes. The page is called

Group Fit with Julia and the picture is UMass Campus Recreation(just in case you want to make sure its the right one!!)

So from now on all posts for my classes will be on there! :) Thanks!

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful, relaxing long weekend! Unfortunately, I have some bad news :/

Wednesday I had to rush to the ER and discovered that I had appendicitis. Wednesday night, at around 10pm, I had surgery and got my angry appendix removed (yay!)
While I'm in recovery now and allowed to do easy, non-strenuous things, I am not ready or cleared to teach for about 3-4 weeks.
So, I hate to say I will not be teaching for the next few weeks :( I have some wonderful subs lined up for kickboxing and spinning, so just because I'm not there doesn't mean you can't be! They'll give you just as awesome of a workout as you've been showing me the past couple weeks!

I'll miss you all and can't wait to get back on my feet. so I'll do my best to make a speedy and full recovery! :) Thank you all for understanding and I hope to see you ASAP! :)

Happy first day of the semester everyone! You know what that means- first day of group fitness classes!

We have tons of new instructors and classes, so make sure to try something new these first few weeks! Syllabus week is a great time to sample some classes and discover new interests! :)

Here's the class times!
oh, and make sure you clear your calendar for

Kickboxing Monday at 7:30, Wednesday 6:15, Sunday 2:30

and my first semester of Spinning Wednesdays 4-5pm!

I know the schedule says 6:15 - 6:45 on Wednesday morning kick, but an adjustment was made and it's now 6:15 - 7:15 so we can get that full hour in!

Can't wait to kick the semester off on the right foot and get back in the game with you guys, I know I've missed classes and friends at the rec all summer long!

Happy Monday! With finals coming up fast and the semester drawing to a close, I know making time to get to the gym and get a good workout in is difficult. BUT that doesn't mean it's impossible to get yourself moving and work up a quick sweat! I found this article and thought it was perfff for these next ~2 weeks!

All are under 30 minutes! :)

You don't need to work out for hours: These workouts are all 30 minutes or less. And you can do them pretty much anywhere, anytime (as long as you have an internet connection).
