Fitness Foundry

I am a SPARTA senior at Malden. I worked out with Julio for over a year. I noticed that I have gained strength, agility, and muscles. The improvement also extends into my daily life. I can do household and gardening
chores with ease. I have more energy to dance and paint. Thank you, Coach Julio!

Julio's class for seniors is helpful and enjoyable. He really seems to care that we stay strong and balanced as we age, and tailors the workout to suit our abilities. I would highly recommend it for seniors who want to maintain strength and agility.

I decided to try working with Julio because I wanted to be able to easily lift my own luggage into the overhead bin on an airplane or on the train overhead racks. I've been meeting virtually with him twice a week for almost a year, and now I don't hesitate to hoist those heavy bags up there! Julio's workouts are quite manageable, not boring at all, and I actually look forward to them. Julio is extremely knowledgable about the body's mechanics, and he knows how to strengthen various muscles to alleviate old recurring injuries. I can't recommend him highly enough. I'm 63 years old, and I've been working out nearly every day for years (swimming, running, walking, rowing), but with Julio I feel fitter and stronger. Recently I picked up an umbrella stroller with my 25 lb. grandson in it and walked up two flights of stairs! All credit to Julio!

We had Julio at Fitness Foundry come to our high school's community wellness day to run fitness clinics. He was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. He brought the right kind of equipment and activities to get students interested in fitness, engaged students and faculty in workouts, and was inclusive to all of our students, including students with physical disabilities. His patience, encouragement, and good humor made him a welcome addition to our program and was one of our star clinics!! We would definitely recommend him as a trainer and for group fitness work. He is great with teenagers and adults!! We would certainly have him back!!

I have worked with Julio now for eight months. I have had trainers before, but he is by far the BEST. He changes things up so it is never boring. He is sensitive to any changes in my body and plans accordingly. He rehabbed my leg so I was able to go on a walking trip. He is great fun to be with and smart about various muscles and my needs. Don’t let him get away. Grab him while you can, in the gym when that is possible and on line till then. He is really special.
