As we head into Thanksgiving, I’ve been reflecting on gratitude in a deeper way this year. I’m incredibly grateful that I had my sweet mom in my life for 90 years. Losing her this year has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced, but even through the grief, I’m thankful for every memory, every laugh, and every moment of love she gave me.
Even the tough ones believe it or not . That gratitude keeps me grounded and reminds me how precious our time truly is.

I’m also so grateful for my amazing clients and for the opportunity to do what I love every day. As a personal trainer, watching people grow stronger—physically, mentally, and emotionally, brings me so much joy. Thank you for trusting me with your health journey and allowing me to be part of your progress.

Today, I want to challenge you: take a few minutes and write a list of what you are grateful for. Even if life feels heavy, there is always something, big or small, that brings light. Gratitude has a way of shifting our perspective and opening our hearts.

Wishing you and your loved ones a warm, peaceful, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Elissa XOXO 😘

Train Smarter at Home
Why TRX Suspension Training + Virtual Personal Training is a Game Changer!
TRX suspension training is one of the best tools for in-home workouts and one of my favorites!

It’s compact, versatile, and I use them everywhere!
Functional Strength, Core Power, and Endless Variety, with just a set of straps + your bodyweight all from the comfort of your own home!

Pair your TRX with an experienced Virtual Personal Trainer, and you take your results to the next level. A trainer guides your form, keeps you accountable, and customizes workouts for your goals, so you’re not just working hard, you’re working smart.
No gym. No excuses. Just results. 🙌
I’ve had Virtual Clients for over 10 years and have 40 years experience. 30 minutes 2x a week is all you need! Contact me today for your free consultation!


Check out a Blog Post I did on suspension training here:

The TRX suspension trainer is a must-have addition to any home gym. The benefits are astounding! Working the core with every exercise, this portable set of straps will give you a workout like no other!

What an amazing morning yesterday on the lake. I love how the trees were reflecting on the water. There’s nothing like nature. Taking in the scenery and getting a pretty good workout kayaking, I’ll take it! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend ☺️

Meet my incredible 88-year-old client Bill who proves that age is just a number. A Veteran that believes in health. While many slow down with time, he’s hitting the weights and staying strong, showing up consistently, pushing himself, and setting an inspiring example for all of us. His dedication, discipline, and positive attitude are a true reminder that it’s never too late to take care of your body.
Whether it’s building strength, maintaining mobility, or just feeling good in his own skin, he’s living proof that fitness isn’t about age, it’s about commitment. Let this be your motivation: no matter where you’re starting from, the best time to begin is ALWAYS now. 👏 Way to go Bill!

My client in this photo is 67 years old. She trains with me twice a week. We do weights. Not three pound weights either. She sweats and lifts with a challenging weight to build and maintain muscle as she gets older. This is why I love my job. Keeping women strong for over 39 years.
I am now offering shared Virtual Sessions via FaceTime or Google meet at a reduced rate. Get fit and strong right from your own home. Contact me for details! Link to my Blog below.
