Before I started the program, I felt so low. I was stuck in habits that made me feel worse, and I didn't know how to break out of them.

Since starting the program, I have lost over 60 pounds, gained muscle definition and strength, and improved digestion and sleep.

I enjoy shopping for clothes, and getting dressed is simple instead of stressful. I no longer pick apart my body and I recognize and celebrate the incredible things it can do. I learned that I can create a lifestyle that supports my wellness without restricting myself or beating myself up.

I was concerned I would have to deprive myself or battle diet culture mentality, but that is not the case. Julz respects nourishing and supporting the body in a comprehensive way. If you have wellness goals, this is a safe, encouraging, and evidence-informed place to do it. If you are sitting on the fence, just hop down. It is so much better on the other side.

I came into this program feeling completely stuck, lost and with zero motivation to get moving again. On top of that, I had poor eating habits and was constantly in pain.

I loved everything. The community and support from Julz to stay accountable. The tailored program to navigate around prior injuries and strengthen weak spots. Check ins with Julz and being able to reach out when needed for suggestions.

I was scared this was not going to be for me at all, but man I was so wrong. Julz is so easy to talk to, actively listens to your needs and guides you in the right direction. Taking physical, mental and just overall health into account.

I learned how to properly fuel my body and easy ways to get protein in. Staying accountable for not only my overall health but other aspects of my life. This program truly changed my outlook on life

Before working with Julz, I felt stuck in my fitness journey. I had been going to the gym for over 8 years and used to see results quickly, but over time those changes slowed and I started losing motivation.

Since joining Empowered, everything has shifted—physically and mentally. I’m the strongest and healthiest I’ve ever been. I feel confident in the mirror and actually love the way my body looks. More importantly, my mindset has completely changed. I’ve learned to manage anxiety, handle stress better, and ask myself “What’s really in my control?”—even with big fears like flying.

Even with years of gym experience, I had never set concrete goals like I did with Julz. She helped me push past a plateau, fall back in love with lifting, and even find new joy in running and spin. I no longer feel like I need to track every macro—Julz taught me how to fuel myself in a way that feels effortless. If you’re thinking about coaching, just do it. I’ve had massive physical and mental wins, and Julz is truly incredible 🤍

Prior to this program, I was dealing with high levels of inflammation which I could not get under control. I felt stuck and lost, and knew I needed to make a change in order to reach any goal I had.

Since starting the program, my confidence has improved tremendously! Physically, I feel stronger and mentally, my mindset has shifted. I feel more able to trust myself and find it easier to stick to healthy habits.

Julz is so knowledgeable about many elements which I truly appreciated as it helped not only my physical health, but my internal and mental health.

Just do it! I understand it may feel like a leap of faith, and I understand that your mindset may be holding you back. I had all those thoughts and feelings too. The AMAZING thing is, the coach/es at Empowered work with you to create a program that best suits your lifestyle.

When I started the program almost 2 years ago now, I was at one of my lowest points. I did not feel comfortable in my body, had low confidence, and my habits were horrible.

After working with Empowered, I feel more complete.

I lost 20lbs since my journey began and everything from my strength, internal reflection, and mindset, as well as my overall confidence, have never been better! I love the resources, consistent and continuous communication, and the scheduling/planning on my program specific to me.

Why not today and why not now? There is never a good time to take control of your life again, this is not just a fitness program it’s truly a lifestyle change. All I wanted was to get back to my toned self again but what I did not realize is that I would gain all my habits and lifestyle shifts along the way!

Before I started the program, I was sick of my own excuses and not doing the things I needed to do in order to thrive.

Since starting, my life has improved so much—I feel stronger (hello, glute growth 👋🏻), more confident in my clothes, and much more in tune with how I feel when I prioritize my health.

To anyone considering joining, I’d say this: I was worried about investing a lot of money and not getting the support I needed virtually, but I was so wrong. Julz deeply cares about all the women she works with and takes the time and energy to make sure you have everything you need.

Even though it’s virtual, I feel completely supported and able to stay accountable to my goals. My biggest takeaway from my time coaching within Empowered is that you are the most important thing in your life. When you take care of yourself, everything else thrives—that is what Empowered has given me!

Before I joined Empowered, I felt unmotivated, uninspired, and scared to change. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of unhealthy habits surrounding my nutrition and struggling to maintain consistent routines.

Since joining Empowered, my mindset has improved greatly, I have become more confident with my decision making as well as learning to listen to my body’s cues.

My relationship with food has also significantly improved, I am able to unconsciously curate balanced meals on a daily basis.

Having continuous support from Julz has been my favorite part of Empowered. If you are considering joining Empowered, my advice would be to take the leap and do it. Do it for your past, present, and future self. I can guarantee you won’t regret it. Joining Empowered was the best decision I have made for myself.

Before starting with Empowered, I felt stalled, hitting constant plateaus without clear direction, especially in nutrition.

Since joining, I've seen notable progress in my workouts and have become confident in my nutrition choices, shifting my mindset to view food as fuel rather than a source of stress. The emphasis on rest and recovery has also been transformative.

If you’re considering joining the program, I can’t recommend it enough.

The accountability is on another level, which has helped me stay consistent and on track. What really stands out, though, is the tailored programming. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach; everything is designed to fit your goals, needs, and abilities. If you’re looking for guidance, support, and real results, this is definitely the program for you. Empowered is an amazing community and definitely worth pursuing!
