About Julie

A professional ballerina who trained with Boston Ballet and Joffrey Ballet, Julie moved to NYC at age 22 to earn a BBA in Entrepreneurship and Art History while founding her own ballet school.

In 2014, always eager to explore new horizons she began teaching yoga and barre, all the while modelling for the renowned agency Wilhelmina. 

As one of Equinox's most sought-after instructors, Julie poured her energy into uplifting others, teaching over 30 group classes to about 750 clients a week across both NYC and The Hamptons. 

In 2018, a severe back injury threatened to end her career. She saw an opportunity to transform adversity into something that will help others: drawing upon her expertise in ballet, yoga, and barre, Julie created Brooklyn Barre® and Brooklyn Flow®. These innovative methods reflect her commitment to crafting workouts that are not only effective but also promote sustainability and wellness for the body.

In 2020, she was the first to bring the vibrancy of American-style fitness to the heart of Paris, founding The Studio: a beacon of energy and empowerment in the city of lights. 

A year later, she launched The Studio +, her On Demand platform, which now has members in 65 countries.

Having led over 8000 classes and counting, Julie is grateful to be able to spread her unique vision of wellness around the globe.
