![]() ![]() Nearly 200 people tune in with Julie every morning (7:30 am SHARP!) to sweat, laugh, and take a break from all the uncertainty in our lives right now. Recognizing the need for community more than ever, she created an online workout group thoughtfully called “Better Together.” What may have started as a way to stay active and out of the pantry until NJ gyms opened, quickly turned into something much bigger than that. With an already full plate, Julie made room for about 200 more of us. On multiple occasions she used her platform to enlist the help of her circle to donate hundreds of meals to front line workers, held socially distanced Zumba classes to raise money for a friend going through medical challenges, all while navigating the “new norm” with a brave face for her family. So many people in the community look up to Julie, and when Covid turned our worlds upside down, she didn’t slow down- she did MORE. You may have taken one of her classes at Toms River Fitness, and you may not have been able to walk for a week (in the best way possible, of course). Still, Julie has the capacity to do more. The residents at The Pines in Whiting are so lucky to have Julie to inspire them to laugh, move and live life to the fullest. The love she has for her family is overwhelming and bubbles over in every aspect of her life. Some of her outstanding roles in the community include being one of the most dedicated mothers and wives I’ve ever met. Julie Thompson wears many hats (and adorable workout outfits) daily, and she does it with so much love in her heart. ![]() ![]() Daughter, mother, wife, sister, friend, mentor, leader, superhero. ![]()
