About Me
Coach Ellie Marie
Growing up, I was NEVER the naturally lean child. Even though I was active, staying thin was always a struggle for me. This wasn't such a big deal for me until I reached middle school and would constantly be teased about being curvier than other girls.
​
Little did I know that those comments from my peers were going to lead me to some of my darkest moments.
​
With those words ingrained in my head, I took the worst approach to fitness. I became obsessed with becoming as thin as possible, as quickly as I could.
​
I was undernourished, overworked, and incredibly unhealthy. I developed "fear foods" and avoided going out with my loved ones because I couldn't control the meals I was to eat. After experiencing a traumatic knee injury and undergoing reconstructive surgery, I knew I needed to put my physical and mental health first.
From that point on, my passion for nutrition and health skyrocketed. I began focusing on building a muscular, lean, healthy physique. During this process, I also grew in confidence, happiness, and my relationship with others. I began to enjoy food and events with family and friends. I have done this through consistency, balance, and flexible dieting.
​
My approach is different because it sets you up for long term SUCCESS. Achieving your ideal physique is not something that will come from a crash diet, it comes from a complete lifestyle change.
