JULI LIPORACE REITZES
OWNER & PERSONAL TRAINER
Juli is the passionate founder of Body By Juli, an IFBB Bikini Pro, dedicated fitness coach, and proud mom of three young children. Originally from Suffern, New York, Juli now lives in Orange County with her husband, their son, two daughters, and two dogs. Her lifelong love of sports and fitness started early, playing softball, soccer, track, and cross country throughout her youth.
While still in high school, Juli began working in a gym, where she discovered her passion for weight training and helping others improve their health. After graduating, she earned her first personal training certification and immediately set out to build a career in fitness. By the age of 20, Juli began competing in bikini competitions, and at just 22, she proudly earned her IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding) Pro Card, officially becoming a professional bikini athlete.
At 23 years old, Juli took a leap of faith and opened Body By Juli, a fitness studio created to offer a smaller, more personal, and family-friendly atmosphere. Her mission was simple: to provide a supportive and non-intimidating space where people of all ages and fitness levels could work toward their health goals comfortably and confidently. Since its opening in 2016, Body By Juli has helped hundreds of clients transform their lives through fitness and lifestyle changes.
Over the years, Juli has competed in over 20 bikini competitions and has maintained her commitment to fitness even after starting a family. She has completed numerous Spartan Races, half marathons, and marathons, demonstrating that a busy life—especially as a mom of three young kids—can still include consistent dedication to personal health and fitness.
Juli’s coaching experience spans a wide range of clients, including youth athletes, sports teams, men and women seeking healthier lifestyles, and seniors wanting to stay active. She focuses on building balanced, sustainable habits and encourages her clients to prioritize self-care and wellness in all aspects of their lives.
Beyond the gym, Juli is deeply connected to her community. Body By Juli is actively involved in the Villages of Suffern and Washingtonville and is a proud member of the Suffern and Blooming Grove Chambers of Commerce. Juli believes in giving back and fostering relationships that support the growth and well-being of those around her.
Juli leads by example, showing that there are no shortcuts to success. “It takes time to build a better, stronger version of yourself,” she says. Her unwavering commitment to her clients is matched only by her passion for helping them live balanced, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

ASHLEY I’AQUINTO
PERSONAL TRAINER
A proud Suffern native, Ashley was born and raised in the community alongside several generations of her family. She attended Suffern schools, where she was active in sports such as track and field, tennis, and cheerleading. Throughout the years, Ashley stayed physically active—enjoying hikes, runs, walks, and regular gym sessions. However, it wasn’t until after becoming a mom that her fitness journey truly began.
Witnessing how much the body changes after childbirth inspired Ashley to take her health and training more seriously. As she began learning about proper nutrition, supplementation, and consistent training, she became hooked on the incredible transformations—inside and out—that fitness can bring. This personal experience sparked a passion to help others feel good in their own skin, especially other moms who often put themselves last.
Determined to make a difference, Ashley pursued her fitness trainer certification while raising three children. She understands firsthand how difficult it can be to make time for yourself, and she’s committed to helping others find that balance. After completing her certification, Ashley interned and later worked at a training facility in Wyckoff, NJ, where she gained valuable experience working with clients and leading group fitness classes.
In 2016, Ashley joined Body By Juli, bringing her energy, empathy, and training expertise to the studio. Since then, she has taught a variety of formats, including group fitness classes, TRX, private one-on-one sessions, partner training, and small group training. Over the years, Ashley has had the pleasure of working with incredible clients and forming meaningful friendships along the way.
Now living in Sloatsburg, Ashley is happily married to her high school sweetheart. They have three children—ages 20, 18, and 14. When she’s not at the gym, she loves cheering on her kids at their sporting events, spending quality time with family, enjoying date nights with her husband, and diving into a good book.
Ashley’s goal is simple but powerful: to help others, especially busy parents, feel strong, confident, and proud of themselves—both physically and mentally.

ALYSSA RUSSO
PERSONAL TRAINER / BARRE INSTRUCTOR
Originally from Mahwah, NJ, Alyssa grew up as a dedicated athlete, competing in cross country, track, and golf throughout high school. Her lifelong passion for movement and wellness led her to pursue a B.S. in Occupational Therapy from the University of New Hampshire, where she is currently continuing her studies at the master’s level. Her education gives her a strong foundation in how strength, mobility, and daily function are deeply connected.
Alyssa is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Barre Instructor, and CPR/AED certified (BLS). With a background in occupational therapy and a deep love for fitness, she focuses on helping clients build strong, sustainable lifestyles through a balanced approach to movement. Her style blends functional strength training with mindful modalities like barre and Pilates, aiming to support both physical and mental well-being.

When she’s not in the gym or the studio, Alyssa is happiest outdoors—hiking with her dog Indy, skiing in the winter, and working as a certified ski instructor.
