Julie Shipley-Childs' Road To The IFBB Fitness Olympia Stage

Julie and I have been friends through fitness since 1999. We traveled the world together performing our fitness routines and had the same choreographer in Seattle! Julie has always been known for her exciting, beautiful routines on the fitness stage and is an inspiration to all aspiring fitness athletes.

Julie won her first IFBB Pro Show at the NY Pro Fitness Classic this year! She is definitely in the running for the Ms. Fitness Olympia title. Congratulations Julie!
