Voted Best Online Fitness Trainer for 2026 Helping Women Transform for Over 20 Years!
Julie LohreWomen’s Online Fitness & Nutrition Coach
IFBB Fitness & Figure Pro
2 x Breast Cancer Survivor
Julie Lohre is an IFBB Fitness Pro, Certified Personal Trainer, and Certified Nutrition Specialist with 20+ years of experience coaching women over 40 to lose fat, build lean muscle, and transform their bodies. I do that through my FITBODY Recomposition System™, the body recomposition method I deliver inside my FITBODY Lifestyle Coaching® program.
My mission is simple: To transform women over 40 into their strongest, leanest, and most confident selves through personalized, science-backed coaching that works in the real world.
Every woman has a personal best waiting. I’m committed to helping you reach yours with structure you can trust, training grounded in science, and support that stays steady through every phase of your journey. Strength and confidence don’t fade with age, they evolve. With the right approach, you can feel powerful, capable, and fully at home in your body again.
I don’t just talk fitness. I live it. I’ve faced many of the same challenges other women face, and I’ve learned how to train and fuel my body in a way that lets me look and feel better at 50 than I did at 30… and still enjoy life. I’ve maintained a fit, strong physique for more than 20 years, and I teach women how to do the same.
Julie Lohre’s Background, More Than 20 Years As A World Renowned Women’s Fitness Coach
Before I ever stepped on a fitness stage, I began my career as a Research Engineer at Procter & Gamble, working on the global Tampax and Always brands. That scientific foundation shaped the way I coach today: analytical, evidence-based, and grounded in understanding how women’s bodies truly function.
Just five months after my son was born, I entered my first figure competition. What started as a personal goal turned into a life-changing direction. Within eighteen months, I went from new mom and first-time competitor to earning my IFBB Fitness and Figure Pro status at the NPC National Championships, where I also took Best Routine of Show.
As one of the earliest pioneers of online personal training for women, I began building my virtual coaching system in 2004. Long before online training became widespread, I built one of the first personalized virtual coaching systems for women, with a signed client intake process, custom nutrition plans, and a structured adjustment cycle, and a publicly listed program documented as early as February 2005. Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 2,000 women from all over the world through my FITBODY Recomposition System™, each one personally. Online coaching isn’t something I added later. It is my passion and what I built my career on.
My background as a certified personal trainer and certified nutrition specialist, and long-time athlete, shaped a coaching style that is personal, direct, and results-driven. The women I coach consistently achieve real, measurable transformation, and their success stories are the proof I am proudest of. You can read them on my success stories page.
Today, I’m blessed to be recognized as a leading expert in women’s weight loss, nutrition, supplementation, hormone-aware training, and creating healthy lifestyle balance for women who do it all. Helping women become the strongest, healthiest, and happiest version of themselves is not just what I do. It is my God-given purpose.

Just A Few Online Fitness & Nutrition Coaching Before & Afters
Who I Coach
I work exclusively with women because I understand how a woman’s body evolves through each decade of life. My clients are often navigating:
- Perimenopause or menopause
- Weight gain that doesn’t respond to their old strategies
- Slowed metabolism
- Hormonal shifts
- Low energy
- Loss of muscle tone
- High stress and inconsistent routines
- Recovery after breast cancer or major health changes
- A desire to look and feel strong again
These women are capable, driven, and ready. They just need structure, expertise, and a plan built around who they are now.

My Coaching Philosophy
You don’t need extremes to change your body. You need a clear plan, consistency, and someone who understands the science of how women change after 40.
My approach, built into every element of my FITBODY Recomposition System™, blends:
- Smart strength training
- Macro-based nutrition
- Progressive overload
- Sustainable cardio
- Recovery that actually supports progress
- Habit-building that fits real life
Women’s bodies aren’t the same at 20 and 40, and their training shouldn’t be either. I believe in personalized strategies that evolve as the body evolves. My coaching is rooted in science, but equally in empathy, lived experience, and a deep respect for the women I serve.
What Sets Me Apart: The Power of Personalized Coaching
In an industry full of automations, assistants, and “social media fitness experts,” working with me is different. You deserve to work directly with the expert, a woman who understands your challenges because she’s lived them and coached thousands of others through them.
It’s all me.
This level of personalization builds real trust and produces real transformation. Your plan evolves constantly, as your body changes, as your hormones shift, as stress ebbs and flows, and as your goals evolve.
Women trust me because I provide accuracy, true accountability, and decades of proven experience, not apps.
Why Women Trust Me & My Mission
Women trust me because I understand their lives, their bodies, and the complexities they face. I’ve coached women through postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, breast cancer, major life transitions, and every physical and emotional shift that comes with a changing body.
I don’t offer extremes or unrealistic expectations. I help women build strength, confidence, and energy in a way that works for their real life, and lasts.
Women trust me because I’ve proven, again and again, that sustainable fitness is possible, and because I walk this same path alongside them.
My mission is to help women become the strongest and most capable version of themselves, physically and mentally. I provide the structure, science, and support they need to make real, lasting progress. Strength, confidence, and transformation are always within reach. I’m here to help women claim them.
