Julia Shelley (@juliashelley) is the Founder of Army of Angels, a Women’s Transformation Group. She’s also a WBFF Champion, and a former UN flight attendant. She’s lived all over the world, including places like Timbuktu (who knew it was real!) all while finding creative ways to train and stay in shape, and always make the best of less-than-ideal situations. 

In this conversation Julia told her story about her introduction to fitness and how that intertwined with her curiosity of the world to combine for some of the most unique life experiences you’ll ever hear about. It’s not always easy to stay on track when we don’t have our perfect setup, yet Julia was able to make-do even while being in war zones. 

Fitness can also give you so much more than ripped abs - it can be an anchor to keep you grounded in difficult situations, it can be a community to support you, and so much more. This is what Julia now brings to her Army of Angels. It’s primarily an online group, but she also hosts retreats in unique destinations for the group to physically come together to eat, train, bond and grow together. 

In addition to her story, this conversation is packed full of practical takeaways that can be applied to your fitness with any travel you might do, or even just any variable circumstances you might have to deal with at home.
