Training built FOR you

Ellavate Fitness was founded to help people across the lifespan build strength, confidence, and lifelong health through intentional, evidence-based movement. We believe that getting stronger is one of the most powerful ways to support the body as we age, helping us move better, feel more capable, and maintain independence through every stage of life.

Our approach prioritizes sustainable habits, quality movement, and long-term well-being over quick fixes or extremes. Whether you are an athlete, a beginner, returning to exercise, or looking to feel stronger and more confident in daily life, we meet you where you are and create training that supports your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Because no two people have the same goals, training history, schedule, strengths, or starting point, we do not believe in one-size-fits-all programming. Every program is personalized and built with intention, using evidence-informed training principles and thoughtful progression to create a plan that is truly built for you.

WHO WE COACH

Coaching built for real people, real lives, and real goals.

Women

Strength training that evolves with your goals, experience, schedule, and stage of life.

Athletes

Strength & conditioning designed around your sport, position, training age, and performance goals.

Anyone Ready to Get Stronger

From complete beginners to experienced lifters, training meets you where you are and progresses with you.

More than just a workout

Individualized

Your goals, experience, schedule, preferences, and current ability shape the plan.

Evidence-Based

Your training is grounded in exercise science, strength & conditioning principles, and thoughtful progression.

Sustainable

We focus on quality movement, realistic routines, and habits you can actually maintain.

Built for Life

The goal is to help you build strength, confidence, and capability that supports your everyday life, your sport, and every stage ahead.

Strength training should evolve with you

Your body, priorities, schedule, and goals can change throughout your life, and your training should be able to change with them.

Whether you are stepping into the weight room for the first time, returning after time away, looking to build strength through your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, or simply wanting to feel more capable in everyday life, your training should support the life you are living now.

Our goal is to help women build strength in a way that feels informed, sustainable, and empowering, without relying on extremes, quick fixes, or one-size-fits-all approaches.

Meet your coach

Ella is a Canadian Society For Exercise Physiology Certified Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Kinesiology graduate, and Physical Therapy Student with a passion for helping people understand just how capable their bodies can become.

Ella believes good coaching goes beyond counting reps or making workouts harder. It is about understanding the person in front of her, meeting them where they are, and creating training that has a purpose.

Ella’s experience spans general population strength training, women’s fitness, youth and adult athletes, CrossFit, HYROX, and group strength coaching, but the common thread is always the same:

Individualized training. Intentional coaching. Strength that carries beyond the gym.

  • "I have been working with Ella for the last 8 months, and I could not be more pleased! From the moment we started working together she took into consideration my health history / chronic health conditions and was able to create a workout routine that would be realistic for my abilities at the time. She has been my biggest cheerleader, is so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. I am so ecstatic with the progress I've made so far with Ella cheering me on along the way. I have felt the strength come back into my body that I haven't felt in 8 years. I have lost almost 40lbs, and am seeing the muscle definition throughout my body. There's been so many wins, huge decrease in chronic pain, increase in energy, reduction in migraines, better flexibility, and I've been able to accomplish some things I could not have done a year ago, like hiking in B.C / Alberta this past fall! I can't wait to see what's in store for the road ahead, but Ella has certainly helped me get back my confidence, and faith in my abilities."

  • "Working with Ella has been life changing! I have been active my whole life, but once I went to university my activity dropped as my schedule got busier and I stopped enjoying movement. Training with Ella brought me back to enjoying daily activity. She makes everything simple and fun! She gives me daily tasks that fit into my routine, so staying active feels natural again. Ella’s belief in me helped me build trust in myself. I feel stronger, and more confident again because of her talented guidance."

  • "I have been working with Ella for 10 phases now and her support has made a huge difference. Her programming is done through an app that provides videos and detailed descriptions for every exercise. She checks in regularly and modifies the program every month with feedback on things I like or don’t like. She also helps with more than just workouts including implementing habits that stick! Ella is a great motivator and truly cares about her clients. I can’t recommend her enough!"

    - Hannah

  • I have been working with Ella for 7 weeks now. She has carefully curated a program for me keeping my concerns and goals in mind. She thoughtfully adjusts the program with my feedback if necessary. She is readily available for questions and each day I see her presence on the app and know she is coaching/cheering me on. The platform her program is on is very easy to access and use. I love that this keeps me accountable as I work to build exercise back into my life again. Staying consistent each day and working towards a better health span and life for myself. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to create exercise as a habit in your life!!
