JULIE STERN
OWNER, CORRECTIVE EXERCISE SPECIALIST
Julie Stern is the owner and head trainer of Best Life Fitness, a personal training and group fitness studio based in Bondi, serving clients across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs — including Bondi Beach, North Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Bellevue Hill, Woollahra, Paddington, Double Bay, Edgecliff, Rose Bay, Vaucluse and Watsons Bay.
With over 18 years of experience as a personal trainer, Julie specialises in corrective exercise, identifying postural deviations and movement dysfunctions that cause pain and limit mobility, then building individualised programs that restore proper alignment, re-teach optimal movement patterns, and reduce or eliminate chronic muscular pain.
Julie works extensively with clients aged 40 to 65 and over, with a particular focus on helping women and men over 50 stay strong, mobile and independent — whether that means recovering from injury, managing long-standing pain, improving balance and strength, or building sustainable fitness habits for everyday life. Her approach blends small-group classes with one-on-one personal training, so each client gets a plan suited to their body, their goals and their stage of life.
Best Life Fitness holds a 5.0-star Google rating from 89 reviews, reflecting Julie’s reputation across Bondi and the Eastern Suburbs as a trusted, experienced trainer for anyone wanting a safer, more capable, pain-free body — at any age.

BECCA ROSE
BSc SPORT & EXERCISE SCIENCE - LEVEL 3 PERSONAL TRAINER - BRITISH WEIGHT LIFTING LEVEL 1 - CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 - 200hr YOGA YTT
Rebecca found fitness through group classes in London and never looked back. What started as a love of the energy in the room led her to Olympic weightlifting, a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Loughborough University, and five years of coaching across strength and conditioning, Hyrox, CrossFit and functional fitness.
Before moving to Bondi, she coached at some of London's leading boutique gyms, including Third Space, and worked with high-performance athletes as a Performance Specialist at The Altitude Centre.
Rebecca is also a 200 hour yoga teacher, so her sessions blend serious strength work with mobility. Her coaching philosophy is "strength in softness": training that builds functional strength for life while meeting every person exactly where they're at.
When she's not coaching, you'll find her eating almond croissants and drinking margaritas!
