“Years of squatting behind the plate resulted in lower back problems and three knee surgeries. By working with Julian, I have increased my flexibility and my range of motion. I am now back throwing batting practice, hitting fungos and thankfully swinging a golf club. Thanks Julian”

- Bree Walker Lampley, Broadcaster/Producer
“I am a 60 year old man and have been an avid student of Pilates for 24 years. I moved to Del Mar, CA 6 months ago and because of his reputation I began with Julian at J.L. Body Conditioning. I have experienced a change in my body to a stronger core without losing any flexibility. I think Julian has devised a terrific method and has trained several teachers to execute a great program. I am very enthused with his results.”
- Van M. Mankwitz, Del Mar, CA
“After three months of Pilates twice a week at Julian's studio, I feel ten years younger. My back never hurts, the IT band injury that prevented me from training for a half marathon is no longer an issue, and my left shoulder, shattered in an accident several years ago, is much more limber and almost pain free. This was accomplished with a program that felt terrific while exercising and that motivated me to continue because my body felt so much stronger right away. Thank you to Julian and the staff at J.L. Body Conditioning."”
- Barbara Kelly, San Diego, CA
“I have improved strength and flexibility on a steady and sustained basis, and chronic knee pain and back discomfort have disappeared. The various exercises are tailored to each person and the individual approaches that of a personal trainer. Indeed, I worked with personal trainers in the past but did not accomplish the results achieved by Julian and his staff. Significant improvements are virtually inevitable. And the environment is cheerful and supportive.”
- Jim Eckmann
“I have been going to J.L. Body Conditioning for 6 years. I had hip and back problems, and was hoping Pilates would be able to help me. After 3 years and x-rays I found I had no cartlidge in either hip. I had one hip replacement in July and one in October 2003. Julian worked with me, after a few weeks, and I have no pain in my hips or back and am more flexible than I have been in years. Thanks to Dr. Woody and Julian.”
