Julie Van Blaricom

I am a married mother of three grown sons and I have three beautiful daughters in law and three grandchildren!
I have always been active and participated in group fitness classes and decided to get certified to teach PiYo at the beginning of 2018 and transitioned to SOULfusion when Beachbody closed their live classes. I’m also certified in POUND and Zumba and soon to be Barre. I have been teaching at my local YMCA for 6 years  

Born and raised in Memphis, TN, I was a high school and college pom/dance team member and have always enjoyed dance.  After college, I got married and became a flight attendant and planned on that being my career.  It was, for almost 18 years.  I got a job offer at my church, which I accepted, and then resigned my flight attendant position.  I wore many hats in the nine years I worked there: HR director and property manager (for our church's rental properties), children's ministry campus director, internship administrator and executive assistant.  The travel bug stayed with me, however, and I left my church position to work full time from home as a travel agent for an online travel company.  After about two years, I decided to go independent as a travel agent under the umbrella of my parent company and am doing that to this day.  In addition, I am a dancer on the NBA Memphis Grizzlies Grannies and Grandpas (senior) dance team!  It is the most fun ever, second only to hanging out with my precious grandchildren !
