"I'm incredibly lucky that I found a trainer who gets me results both mentally and physically. 

I have never been into sports or exercise but a few years ago I had to go onto antidepressants and gained a lot of weight from them. The idea of going to a gym was beyond my comfort zone. With Ellysia I truly won the trainer lottery. I have had two anxiety attacks during our training and she was amazing at recognizing that and helping me through it. I'm incredibly lucky that I found a trainer who gets me results both mentally and physically. I have never been in better shape and it’s only going to get better from here!! I can’t say enough great things about her!!!"

"She is an amazing health coach, friend and woman. I feel uplifted and feel great every time I train

As a business owner and mother of 2, I neglected making myself and my health a priority. When I met Ellysia, she made it fun, rewarding and the highlight of my day. Her encouragement through exercise, nutrition, and life coaching has changed my life in many ways. I focus on having both a healthy mind and body. She has always been there when I needed it and always praised me for my accomplishments. I’ve lost 30 lbs, lost the baby weight I had been carrying for years and finally feel beautiful in my skin. She is an amazing health coach, friend and woman. I feel uplifted and feel great every time I train, even when she makes me work hard. She is humble, kind and worth every penny."

“Ellysia’s understanding of targeted sports training and recovery continues to amaze me.

Ellysia has helped me take great progress from a fitness and wellness perspective; as an athletic person having played hockey for 35 years, Ellysia’s understanding of targeted sports training and recovery continues to amaze me. Her guidance has allowed me to see immediate fitness improvements both on the ice - where even at a my age I’m noticing explosiveness and much more strength in my stride, quicker feet and better mobility, better core strength, and much more stamina - and off-ice, where I feel better now physically than I can recall ever feeling as an adult. She goes way above and beyond to tailor my program to my chaotic life and schedule, is much more accommodating than she should be, and very often takes her own time to talk to me about my health. I really couldn’t be happier with Ellysia and feel lucky to have someone as knowledgeable and fantastic as her as my trainer."
