🏋🏼‍♀️GET TO KNOW YOUR COACHES🏋🏼‍♀️
.
Julia Howard is JKC’s Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Run Coach. Here’s a few questions to get to know her better. 🏃🏼‍♀️💨
.
Q) How did you get into health and fitness?
A) I actually got into health secondary to fitness so I’ll start there.
.
At age 13, myself and two friends decided that we wanted to try to finish NL’s famous Tely 10 Road Race. We figured we would walk/run the race with the walking group. I surprised myself by running the whole way in 91 mins. Ironically, my strength ended up being the much shorter 800m &1500m distances on the track, which I found out through competing on my high school track team.
.
I got into health through my experiences being a competitive athlete and having an autoimmune disease. At age 15, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Autoimmune Thyroiditis) and was put on medication. It wasn’t until years later, when my health really started suffering, that I learned a lot can be done to help support these types of conditions (as well as athletic performance) from a nutritional standpoint. Nutrition became a huge interest for me from that point on and ended up changing my career path.
.
Q) Name a book or podcast that has had a big impact on you?
A) I've listened to the Rich Roll Podcast regularly for the past 5 years. Rich is a former lawyer and alcoholic turned ultramarathoner, plant-based diet advocate, podcaster, and author. He interviews a range of guests that usually have a wellness and self-actualization focus.
.
Q) What’s an interesting thing about you people probably don’t know?
A) I have been fortunate to run races in 10 different countries and 10 different US States.
.
Q) What’s your least favourite exercise that you know is good for you?
A) Wall slides! I find wall slides so hard!! And, I know it’s because of my poor sitting posture.
.
Q) If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
A) The late Anthony Bourdain. He had such an appreciation for different cultures, social justice, and a refreshing no-nonsense approach to food.
.
Thanks Julia! 🥦
.
Stay tuned for Jon. 🏋🏻‍♂️

Thomas King is a Strength and Conditioning Specialist who has been with JKC for 4 years. Here’s a few questions to get to know him better. 💪🏼😅
.
Q) How did you get into health and fitness?
A) Like a lot of guys, I got into lifting weights in high school to get swole. Studies show that 80% of guys say they started working out to get bigger arms, and the other 20% are liars 😂 My interest in fitness never faded so it made sense to pursue it as a career.
.
Q) Name a book or podcast that has had a big impact on you?
A) This might sound bad, but I almost never sit down and read. I prefer to learn things though viewing so I watch a lot of YouTube videos from people like Alan Thrall and Brian Alshrue. I don’t listen to podcasts either but I do indulge in the scattered episode of VOCM’s Open Line.
.
Q) What’s an interesting thing about you people probably don’t know?
A) I know how to weld and work with metal, something I started when I was a teenager. This has proved useful in my accumulation of strongman/home gym equipment because I have been able to fabricate things for much cheaper than it would cost to buy them.
.
Q) What’s your least favourite exercise that you know is good for you?
A) Definitely anything done on a “cardio machine”. I actually like hiking and can tolerate walking outside but I won’t walk on a treadmill.
.
Q) If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
A) Easiest question here, Arnold Schwarzenegger
.
Thanks Thomas! 💪🏼
.
Stay tuned for Julia. 🏃🏼‍♀️
