My name is Julie Hamp, and I am a fully qualified personal trainer at FG Personal Training in Gressenhall. I am married and have one daughter who is now 30 years and still young!
My fitness journey started in my early school years with netball, gymnastics, athletics (especially 100 and 200 metre sprints) where I represented my school. I also developed a love of tennis in my early 20’s and was lucky to attend Wimbledon on many occasions. I still have a love of tennis now many years later, which has now transcended into me playing Padel.
I returned to fitness in my latter years (around aged 50 years) by joining a bootcamp class ( outdoors only) which I stuck with for 5 years. I then moved towards working with Personal Trainers for my fitness goals and have used them for the last 10 years plus. I joined FG Personal Training 5 years ago as a client. While with FG Personal Training I realised that I could re-train myself and decided to embark upon a Personal Training Qualification.
Outside of my love for sport and fitness, my interests include music, cooking and travelling. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and enjoy the outdoors. I also like to walk as often as I can. I am a keen animal lover and appreciate the calm and enjoyment that animals bring to us as humans. I have a dog who is 14.5 years, he is a very young 14 year old. He loves his walks and then his sleep afterwards!
I enjoy cooking and my speciality is putting together a meal from items in the fridge, which helps minimise food wastage and helps with keeping my mind active in thinking up new recipes.
I like to work with clients on a 1-2-1 basis and in small groups of up to three. This will be in our private facility at FG Personal Training. I am keen to get older ladies and younger women back into fitness, or to start their fitness journey. Fitness is a leveller for us all and a great way to stay energised.
After a brief consultation about individual goals I will create a training programme specifically tailored to your needs and offer support with nutrition, ideas for home workouts, and general health support.
Whatever your goals are, I will support you on your journey. I have plenty of life experience to call on as well as my professional skills. If losing weight, gaining muscle, simply improving your overall health and your mental wellbeing – I will be your support on your fitness journey.
It’s never too late to start a fitness journey and who knows, you might even think “why did I not do it earlier”!!!
