Teaching at Ellen's:  Short of owning my own studio, I cannot imagine working anywhere else.  There is no person more highly trained and educated than Ellen.  I love that I can always count on Ellen to keep up with her fitness education in an industry that is constantly changing.  Plus, working out with hot chicks does not hurt either.

Jessey Howard

The emotional experience that Spinning can be is what motivates me to teach.  I want for everyone to be able to get on the bike and lose themselves for an hour, forget about burning calories, forget about work, and focus entirely on what their bodies and minds are really capable of.

Bea Metz

My passion for teaching fitness and health began 11 years ago. My positive thinking and motivational techniques inspired many people and have changed there lives by transforming there bodies and there minds. My devotion to helping others inspired me to open a fitness program in the town of Davie. Here I  began to incorporate the Pilates method. I noticed a huge and quick transformation in my clients bodies by incorporating  the proper technique of Pilates. While working at  Ellen's; the creativity of incorporating the different programs has allowed my clients to strengthen their cardiovascular system, develop leaner muscle to kick start there metabolism, and have more energy to look and feel better.  My motivation to teach begins with me. I know the benefits of waking up in the morning and starting the day with a positive attitude, looking and feeling as good as possible. We have the power to make the choice for ourselves whether to make our bodies and our minds as healthy as we possibly can. Discover the changes you can make, the way you can look, feel and live your life. I am continuously updating my education by attending seminars, workshops and conferences. I look forward to meeting you!
