The Face Behind EMF Coaching
Hi! I'm Ellen, an online coach and powerlifter.
I have always been competitive in sports. It started as dancing (if you can call it 2 weeks of participating), before finding football as my first calling.
During my teens, I played at both a regional and national level. I loved the drive of the weekly matches, bettering myself each week and the burn of my lungs and legs fighting until the 90th minute.
For the last five years, the gym has been my safe space, and gaining health and strength has been my passion.
Over the last two years, I have competed in five powerlifting competitions. In these, I have won a number of awards including best lifter and securing the AWPC World Champion title in 2022 and the ABPU British Champion title two years in a row (2022 and 2023). I also hold 2 World and British AWPC records for the squat and bench press in my category.
Powerlifting has been a driving force both on and off the platform and has helped me lead from the front to inspire and motivate clients, as well as continually growing my knowledge as a coach and athlete.
Why I Coach
My journey into coaching began when I decided to leave my career as an immunology lab technician to pursue my passion for fitness. As a personal trainer, I've had the privilege of building and nurturing two thriving client bases, first in Watford and more recently in Southampton. Through this experience, I've discovered that coaching is far from a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Working with clients ranging from 16 to 65, I've witnessed the transformative power of training firsthand. It's the joy of sharing this journey and watching individuals grow and thrive with my guidance that fuels my dedication to coaching. Every hour spent coaching is incredibly rewarding, knowing that I'm making a positive impact on people's lives.
More than just a coach
My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in my past training and coaching experiences, continually evolving to offer the best possible service. Beyond helping clients achieve their fitness goals, my mission is to create a space where you feel comfortable, confident, and empowered. I understand that the gym can be an intimidating place, but in today's fitness landscape, it's more accessible than ever. I want you to know that with me, you're not just a client; you're part of a team. Our relationship is built on open communication and feedback, and together, we're navigating the exciting game of life. In this journey, winning is a collective effort, and I'm here to be more than just a coach – I'm your confidant, mentor, and partner in unlocking your full potential.
