My Story
I'm Giulia — an Italian personal trainer and manual therapist based in Amsterdam. My journey into movement science started with a Bachelor's in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Verona, followed by a Master's in Preventive and Adapted Exercise Science, which I completed cum laude with a thesis on early markers of autism spectrum disorder through kinematic analysis.
During my studies, I spent a semester at the University of Groningen through the Erasmus program, where I discovered the Netherlands. That experience led me to build my career here in Amsterdam.
I've worked with diverse populations — from Parkinson's patients in Italy, where I designed customized exercise protocols and led Nordic walking sessions, to research at the University of Verona's BabyLab using motion capture technology. I also completed 200 hours of clinical internship in manual therapy alongside physiotherapists and osteopaths in Milan.
Today, I work across three locations in Amsterdam — BeyondFit, Personal Trainer Wouter, and CorePhysio — combining personal training, strength coaching, and deep tissue massage. I have a special focus on women's health, including pelvic floor strength, abdominal diastasis recovery, and cycle-based training.
My Philosophy
“I believe in a personalized and holistic approach — whether your goal is to relieve pain, build strength, improve mobility, or simply feel more confident or reconnect with your body. I work especially with women navigating hormonal changes, pre- and postnatal recovery, and the challenges of busy schedules. What motivates me the most is building meaningful connections with my clients and guiding them through real change. I focus not just on physical performance, but also on improving quality of life through movement and mindful care.”
