Viewers of 90 Day Fiancé have witnessed Julia Trubkina go beyond her relationship status with Brandon Gibbs to become well-known for her commitment to fitness and wellness. Following her relocation to America, Julia struggled with stress, a busy lifestyle, and weight changes. To regain her body and confidence, she resorted to bodybuilding, yoga, and disciplined habits.

Julia admits the weight she gained while filming didn't come straight off with conventional exercises, but incorporating one yoga session a week helped to reset her system, which is when things really started to improve. For example, she detailed a basic yet beneficial pre-show routine that she utilized as a former competitive bodybuilder: eating smaller and more frequent meals, increased hydration, increased activity level, and diminishing doing what you love.

Julia's story exemplifies not only change but also a comprehensive approach to well-being based on discipline and mentality.

Here's a closer look at the strategies 90 Day Fiancé's Julia Trubkina attributed to her fitness journey.


Yoga as a turning point for weight loss

Despite attempting more conventional types of exercise, such as jogging with the dogs or working on the farm, Julia was not experiencing any improvements. Stress, hormonal imbalance, interrupted routines, and extensive travel while filming 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After were the reasons she attributed to her weight gain, as mentioned in the caption of her May 2021 Instagram post.

She stated:

"I had hormonal imbalance, food, flights, stress and I gained weight. I trained, spent most of the day on the street running with the dogs, helping on the farm, but the weight did not go away. I didn't really like and perceived yoga as a sport, but I began to do yoga once a week and the weight began to return to normal, naturally I continued to do loads. conclusion : a lot of problems depends on problems in the head, even weight problems."

Building blocks of a sustainable fitness lifestyle

Despite her advantage from her bodybuilding background, 90 Day Fiancé's Julia stresses that true fitness is based on easy, long-lasting habits:

1. Frequent, smaller meals, rather than large portions

2. Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and support metabolism

3. Regular physical activity, even beyond formal training

4. Pursuing activities you enjoy, making consistency easier and more effective

She is also returning to competitive fitness, stating that being able to cycle alongside trainers and her partner has improved her motivation and attitude. Fans were urged to watch Julia's progress since it helped her "feel better again."


Julia Trubkina's journey from stress and weight issues to yoga, diet, and individualized coaching is proof of the importance of mental health and balance. Julia demonstrates that purposeful, regular behaviors based on joy and resilience are the key to achievable wellness, whether she is working out, developing her body, or mentoring others in fitness.
