Julie Valenzuela, MS, NCPT

Your Instructor

Namaste! Thank you so much for the opportunity to collaborate with you on your professional journey. I received my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of San Francisco and moved to Arizona to pursue my master’s in Exercise and Wellness from Arizona State University. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in various fields of health and fitness including rehabilitation and physical therapy, fitness club management, wellness program coordinating and college level education. I spend the majority of my professional time as a Pilates Instructor certified through the Pilates Method Alliance. On a personal note, I live in Phoenix with my husband, two teenage daughters, and an active, athletic son. Life is pretty busy, but I find time to hike, cook, do yoga and take naps!
