Julie Goodale
This month’s Professional of the Month is Julie Goodale, owner of Life-Cise, Fitness for Survivors. Julie has two sets of specialities: Music and fitness.
In her career as a New York City musician, Julie Goodale has been hailed as a “strong soloist” by Bernard Holland of The New York Times. She has toured extensively throughout the United States with tap dancer, Savion Glover; and with her string quintet, the Abaca String Band. She has appeared in various clubs, concert halls, and on television with performers such as Johnnie Mathis, Diana Krall, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Ochun, and many others.
A few years ago Julie began a second career in fitness. She is certified as a Personal Trainer through ACSM, and as a Cancer Exercise Specialist through the Cancer Exercise Training Institute. From her own experience with breast cancer, she believes in the importance of exercise for cancer patients, and has become a strong advocate for exercise before, during, and after cancer treatments As a personal trainer, Julie works with clients in the New York City area in various phases of cancer treatment - whether they’re interested in getting in better shape before surgery, regaining mobility after surgery, helping to manage the side effects of treatment, or regaining strength after treatment is finished. Hoping to reach out to a broader public, this last year Julie launched a website, www.life-cise.com, which provides online information and training for cancer survivors, no matter where they live. She has led fitness workshops, both for cancer survivors and strength training seminars for musicians. Julie also writes regularly about fitness issues for cancer survivors on her blog, www.fitnessforsurvivors.blogspot.com. She still works as a musician, but is now also dedicated to helping others stay fit and stay strong.
Julie’s story is as much her account of what led her to create Life-Cise Fitness as what she has learned about running a company. However, she wanted to share with listeners that trainers need to focus more on being serious and diligent about the business. She has found that many health professionals she meets with are surprised by her professionalism and preparation, and would like to see more fitness professionals also impress the health communities in such a way.
Julie’s recommendation is to really figure out what you want to create, in order to best determine how to create it. Using music as an example, Julie shares how to set up goals and run a business. It’s a unique blend of business and music, combined with her personal experience that many listeners will enjoy.
