Consistency, Commitment, Results—Meet Julia Gelbart, May Member of the Month
Sometimes success in personal training isn’t complicated at all: it’s about taking charge, showing up, and doing the work—just ask Julia Gelbart. Her outlook is refreshingly clear: as she gets older, she refuses to let her body slow her down, and with a positive attitude, she makes it happen day after day.
Julia’s motivation began with a friend’s recommendation, but her long-term results are her own. Prior to SolCore, she mixed in yoga, swimming, and walking, but wanted targeted strength and muscle “wake up”—especially in her upper body.
Q&A With Julia—What Works, What’s Hard, What’s Worth It
Q: What made you decide to start?
“I needed to wake up my muscles and strengthen my upper body—my friend Vikkie’s enthusiasm really pushed me to try!”
Q: What did you do before?
“I did yoga once a week, loved to walk, and swam regularly.”
Q: What results are you proud of?
“I wanted a preventative program for graceful aging and strength. I noticed my posture and movement improved over time, but one day going up stairs, I tripped—yet had the awareness and strength to catch myself and get right back up! No tiredness and no injury. That’s how I knew all the work was paying off.”
Q: Favorite (and least favorite) exercise?
“Frogs! So good for me, but always a challenge.”
Q: Biggest challenges or current goals?
“I’m always working on building and keeping my strength.”
Q: What do you like best about the program?
“Three things: the group energy (I didn’t want to quit when others kept going), constant corrections in class, and accountability—you notice when people miss and check in!”
Q: Advice to other SolCore Fitness members?
“Don’t quit!”
Q: What would you say to someone considering joining?
“If you want a program that will truly empower you as you age—keeping your body strong and balanced—this is it. Commit to yourself and your health. It works!”
