Experienced Staff
All of our extremely well-trained instructors have trained in Authentic Classical systems through the Romana lineage. Every Endurance instructor has partaken in an apprenticeship style of learning in order to best understand the true nature of Joesph Pilates' teachings through the observation, oral and hands on tradition as Pilates was meant to be shared with fellow educators. We have also studied and certified with several additional Classical as well as Contemporary methods of Pilates including Stott, Balanced Body, Power Pilates, Physical Mind and Peak Pilates. We use our knowledge in all of these realms to create the most beneficial workout for your body. Our instructors complete a very comprehensive program (minimum 1000 hours) including written and practical exams preparing them to take the Pilates Method Alliance exam. They are continuously updating their knowledge with continuing education. You are in good hands at Endurance!

Julie is most proud of her work with differing abilities, including several of the folks injured in the Boston Marathon and other amputees and challenged athletes looking to improve their athletic performance via running, swimming or cycling. She has done all of her work with these students on a pro bono basis and hopes to inspire other trainers in the field to dedicate part of their weekly business to donating their time in order to enhance the lives of others. She continues to work with a number of students with conditions such as Parkinson's disease, brain injuries, spine and spinal cord injuries, pregnant and post-partum students, ligament disorders and auto-immune disorders and is overjoyed at the improvement every single one of her students have seen under her guidance. Julie is also a NFHS certified high school coach and enjoys sharing her love of movement with all ages! Julie believes that workouts should be fun and safe, yet challenging. An avid runner, she has run 25 marathons, many of them for charity including "swimming" this year's 2018 rainy, windy cold and grueling Boston marathon in addition to hundreds of other races and one ultra-marathon. Julie completes over 2,000 training and racing miles yearly while building a business, raising a child, and mentoring new instructors. Julie has been featured online and in print in several popular magazines including features in Health Magazine, Martha Stewart, Shape, Runner's World, Glamour Magazine, FitSugar, MSN, Metro, The Boston Globe, Boston Common, Boston Magazine, Well and Good and New Beauty.

Julia Stetson's life has always revolved around 3 dominating passions; ballet, teaching, and the science of the human body.
Julia has been enthusiastic about teaching since the first day she was asked to become a teaching-assistant for Creative Dance and Pre-ballet, as a preadolescent. She attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts, and later the College Conservatory of Music, in Cincinnati, where she earned her BFA. In her undergrad, she completed all Physical Therapy prerequisites, for later entry into graduate school. Once she retires from performing ballet, Julia intends to pursue a doctorate in Physical Therapy. She believes a background in classical Pilates will be essential to her practice in physical therapy.
Julia is Royal Academy of Dance trained. She completed grades III-V with distinction. Julia has danced professionally with Dayton Ballet, Albany Berkshire Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, Ballet Quad Cities and she currently dances for the Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre. Julia also serves as a faculty member, at the Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre, where she teaches ballet to children and adults. Dancers are often referred to classical Pilates, as a means to increase strength, stamina and overall performance. Pilates have certainly strengthened Julia’s dancing, as her experience has corrected imbalances, misalignments, improved her posture, and daily functionality. She has witnessed firsthand, the power of Pilates, and Julia is eager to share this power with others. Ms. Julia is also a certified instructor in the Burdenko Method Water and Sports Therapy, as well as Barre Boston. She is currently working toward PMA certification.
