Expert in Empowering People to Reach Their Full Potential

JULIA McCARTHY

A mother of two amazing children who always keep me on my toes and a husband who I can thank for sparking my initial interest in fitness. We are a family focused on working hard and playing harder. A daughter who can do backflips for days and a son who spends all his free time on the dirt bike tracks has inspired me to continue to set my own personal goals, whether it’s in the gym as an avid CrossFitter or at home in the kitchen with meal prepping.

Growing up and living most of my life in a small coastal town in Massachusetts was ideal. Friends and family within arm’s reach brought an invaluable sense of comfort. I got a job teaching in an elementary school not far from my home and quickly fell into my daily routine. It wasn’t until having kids that I started to struggle with the imbalance I had created.  My life was solely focused on the happiness and wellbeing of others, and I fell short in the area of self-care. It was within this time that my husband suggested joining a gym. I managed to set aside the guilt for an hour or two each day to do something for myself. I quickly realized what a positive impact this had and never looked back.

After 12 plus years as an elementary educator in Massachusetts, with dreams of warmer weather and opportunities for outdoor adventures, we moved to Richmond Hill, Georgia, and I decided it was time for more than just a change of scenery. Pursuing a career as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach has allowed me to continue my passion for guiding others and helping them understand the importance of being a lifelong learner in order to find the positive connection between self-care and performance. My ultimate goal is helping others learn how to take ownership of their bodies and minds to live a fulfilled life in and out of the workplace.

A life of constant activity has helped me understand the importance of living life intentionally. Prioritizing my mind, body, and spirit allows me to be the best version of myself for my family, community, and clients.
