02Why you're here

Every plan you've tried, ended.

You followed the plans, downloaded the apps, and promised yourself Monday would be different. Some of it worked. Then the plan ended, life happened, and you were back at the beginning.

Build the Base gives you what those plans did not: a coach watching the pattern and deciding what comes next.

Your coach

I'm Julie.

I have a degree in exercise science, a master's in coaching, and fourteen years of teaching and training experience. I built the coaching system I needed when one missed day kept turning into another Monday restart.

03The Method

How Build the Base works.

We measure your real life before I ask you to change it. Then I add what fits, watch the data, and adjust.

Focus Four for how you live.
Strong Six for how you lift.

Your first steps.

  1. Set up
    I learn your real starting point.

    Your schedule, equipment, history, and goals. Then we meet for your Kickoff Meet.

  2. Measure
    You log what is already true.

    No targets. No fake perfect week. You track your actual protein and steps.

  3. Week 1
    By the end of Week 1, your first targets are set from your actual data.

    Your daily check-in takes about 15 seconds. I add Lift and Fuel when they fit your needs.

  4. Adjust
    I watch the pattern.

    I push, hold, or scale back from real data. One missed day does not become a bad week.

I run the system. You show up.

At Day 91, we choose the right next step instead of sending you back to square one.

By Day 90, you have

  • Targets built from your actual data.
  • A lifting plan you know how to run.
  • A way to handle bad days without starting over.
  • A clear decision for what comes next.

The goal is not a perfect 90 days. It is knowing how to keep going on Day 91.

What clients are building now.

These results come from my 1:1 clients, past and present, including women in the Build the Base beta.

+80 lbs added across her Strong Six

"I'm so proud of how much stronger I've gotten, and how much I've learned about taking care of my body. I feel confident in the gym now, knowing I can actually do things. My body feels more like me. I am powerful."
Teresa N. · Never lifted before

+40g protein a day over baseline

"Protein was the one thing I could never stay on top of. Now I track it every day, and being able to see my markers line up has been the whole thing for me. That daily proof is what kept me going."
Courtney T. · Former college athlete

+3,000 steps a day

"I walk every day now, no exceptions. It's helped my relationship too. We walk together, and it's turned into real quality time."
Andi R. · Retired teacher

90% consistency for 90+ days

"Doing crazy intense things always ended the same way. I'd burn out and quit. Being consistent with the small things every day is what finally gave me the breakthrough. I'm so proud of who I'm becoming."
Jensen L. · Finally started

  • Lifting without wondering if you're doing it right. A custom Strong Six program and form coaching built around your time, equipment, and history.

The Build the Base Promise · Money-Back Guarantee

Meet the effort standards. If you're not satisfied at Day 90, choose a full $497 refund or 90 more days of coaching on me.

See the effort standards and guarantee terms

The Promise applies when you:

  • Attend or reschedule your six Meets.
  • Complete at least 11 weekly reflections.
  • Log any color on at least 86 of your 90 days.

Green, Yellow, and Gray all count. Excused days count. Your own taps and Health data both count, and you can always catch up yesterday.

The refund is the full $497, and your app access ends with it. The extra 90 days run at the same service level you've had, and choosing them completes the guarantee. If something serious comes up and you genuinely can't continue, we pause your program instead of running out your clock. You have 14 days after Day 90 to tell me which you want.

You don't have to prove anything to me. If you did the work, the choice is yours. The bar is effort, not perfection.

Four questions. If it looks like a fit, I’ll contact you to schedule a call.

06FAQ

The questions women ask on the strategy call.

What makes this different from the last program I tried?
Build the Base does not hand you a plan and disappear. I set the targets, watch the pattern, and adjust what comes next. At Day 91, we choose the right next step instead of sending you back to square one.
What if I have never lifted before?
You do not need to know anything walking in. The Strong Six is six movement patterns, and I coach each one. Your program is built around your starting point, equipment, and schedule.
Do I need a gym or special equipment?
No. You can train at home or in a gym. Bands are enough to start. As you get stronger, you'll eventually need dumbbells. Your program is built around the equipment and space you actually have.
Do I have to track my food or count calories?
You will record your food so we can see what is already true. We start with protein and eating habits, not a calorie target. A calorie deficit comes after you have the awareness and consistency to use it well. We earn the right to optimize.
How much time will lifting take each week?
Most clients spend 60 to 90 minutes lifting each week. It can be less depending on your schedule, pace, and number of sessions. I build the plan around the time you actually have.
What happens after the 90 days?
Day 91 is a decision point, not another restart. We choose the right path together: graduate with a plan you can run, maintain with lower-touch support, or move into your Next Phase for deeper coaching.
$497 is a lot.
It is a real investment. Build the Base is 90 days of individual coaching, custom programming, app-based check-ins, six Meets, and direct access to me between calls. The founder rate is $497 for the first 10 paying clients. Client 11 begins at $897.
