G4 Fitness

Hello, my name is Julie LaPorta and I am the owner of G4 Fitness. I am a wife, mother and I have four grandchildren. I was an athlete while growing up but when I turned 40 I started gaining weight and would stress eat. I became an emotional eater and the pounds started coming on. I tried all kinds of different diets and I would lose weight but then when I stop the diet I would gain the weight right back. My muscles hurt with fibromyalgia and arthritis was starting. I was so unhealthy and knew I had to make a “true “change in my lifestyle. So in 2015 my personal journey to living a healthy lifestyle started. I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. I noticed my body was changing but in one year I had only lost 10 pounds. I became very frustrated. I went and talked to the owner of the gym and he talked to me about the food I was eating. I learned I could not work out enough to overcome a bad diet. I started the lifestyle with macronutrient base program which gave me the tools I needed to learn to live a healthy lifestyle. I went from 178 pounds to 140 pounds!! I have never felt better! I have more energy, the fibromyalgia that I had battled with and had controlled me, I now have control of it. I joined a CrossFit Box and started doing Spartan Races and I competed my first Cross Fit Open last year at the age of 57!! The program worked!! I had finely found something that taught me a healthy lifestyle and gave me the tools to do it myself. It inspired me to get my certification through Macro Missionary and become a nutrition coach so that I can teach others and help them live a healthy life. I also became a certified Personal Trainer and love teaching others how to be stronger. I would love to help you achieve your goals. Whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle, reduce health risks. I want to see you live life to its fullest being the real you! At G4 Fitness I will create a training environment that will motivate you and give you knowledge and the tools you need to reach your goals. I will develop a plan that fits your lifestyle. I will be there to guide you and support you every step of the way!
