Julia Smith

I started my fitness career in 1991 as a hi-lo aerobics instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Prior to this, I was always a very active person, having grown up on a dairy farm and helping out withdaily chores. I have a BS in Psychology with minors in Womens' Studies and Theatre with an emphasis in Dance. My modern dance teacher Genie introduced me to the Pilates mat in the mid 90's. I taught her classes in college when she was away. My first certification was in the Pilates Mat in March 2000. Teaching fitness classes has given me confidence, and allows me to use my creativity. Plus it's really great to get paid to work out! I have certifcations in Spinning, Les Mills BodyPump, Yoga 200 and 500 hours, and PoundFit. It's very rewarding to see members get fit in my classes and I love teaching!!
