Julia Gottesheim

I’m Julia, a trainer and founder of Velvet Rebel. I guide people in becoming stronger, more mobile, and more confident in their bodies—without self-punishment, rigid programs, or fitness theater. My training blends strength training, functional movement, mobility, and endurance with an honest look at the person behind the effort. Every session is tailored to your body, goals, experience, and lifestyle. Not everyone needs more pressure—sometimes structure, security, courage, or simply a manageable starting point is what’s required. My focus is on individualized personal training, functional strength building, proper technique, CrossFit- and HYROX-oriented workouts, and easing back into training after long breaks. It’s not just about reps, weights, or performance—it’s also about body awareness, self-confidence, and real strength. I work with clarity, attentiveness, and respect. We look honestly at where you are, set realistic goals, and move forward step by step—not perfectly, but in a way that fits you. Training shouldn’t break you down. It should bring you back to yourself.
