About Ellen:
- Ellen began teaching group fitness classes 17 years ago as a "side job" after her day at the office. After her first son was born, she felt it was important to be a stay-home-mom, working part-time in management as Group Fitness Director and continuing to teach classes. In 2004 she became involved with the Les Mills International Programs and began teaching BODYPUMP. She later added BODYFLOW and BODYATTACK to her teach skills. Ellen became involved with Rapid Fitness from day one as a Group Fitness Instructor as well as being part of the Front Desk Team. Ellen now holds her new position as Regional Group Fitness Manager and looks forward to the expansion of the Rapid Fitness Family.
