JULES

Lover of all things fitness (especially leg day) — Jules, a Bay Area native, was born and raised in the gym. Ok, so not *technically* born there, but at the tender age of two, Jules started her gymnastics journey. She round-off, back-handspring, back-tucked her way through her adolescence, only trading in her gymnastics journey for pole vaulting and volleyball in high school. She even made it to the Junior Olympics for her volleyball skills. Once she headed for college (where she majored in kinesiology, naturally), Jules entered the NPC physique competition realm. As a four-time Nationally Qualified NPC Competitor, she then started teaching group fitness in college — going on to get her NASM certification and become a personal trainer. She is the type of athlete and trainer who never gives up and always pushes for more (see also: she goes on 40-mile hikes for fun). So as you can see, for Jules, fitness is, indeed, life.
