Julie Evans
Owner / Instructor
Julie Evans, Jazzzercise

Describe yourself as an instructor - I want all of our customers to get the most they can out of every workout, working at their own level and having fun along the way to reaching their goals. I love to educate on how to get the most out of every move by focusing on technique. I try not to sing in class as I'm living proof that not all Welsh people can sing!       

What do your customers say about you as an instructor - I'm bossy but fun and smiley! And that despite being Welsh I cannot sing!
