“Elsie has figured out how to take Masters Athletes to the next level. She works the fine balance of keeping you breaking your personal records, while staying away from injury and with time and patience, you become stronger than you thought possible.

If you had goals you wanted to reach in your 20s, she will make it possible to rock those in your 40s. “

– Will Richardson, Remote Custom Athlete, age  44

“My past experience at the gym was that coaches paid much more attention to younger athletes. Elsie sees me as an athlete with great potential. She communicates with me clearly and is very responsive.

I have been working with her since January, and my gains in both strength and mobility gave me what I needed to make it to the CrossFit Online Qualifier finally.

She assesses my skills and weaknesses regularly which leads to programming that help me remain injury free which is so important at 62 years old. For any masters athlete that wants to improve or maintain their fitness I would highly recommend Elsie as a coach.”

– John Bourke, 62, Remote Custom Programming Athlete

“I think what has me most impressed with Elsie is the emotional investment in her athletes. Your successes are her successes. She sees a potential in me, that I don’t see in myself and that is a powerful tool.

She doesn’t look at her athletes and see them as just cross fitters or runners, or whatever she’s coaching. She looks and sees the potential and develops a road map to get there.

That’s not just limited to the gym. She’s recommended books, podcasts, mobility, recovery, nutrition, even life advice. She will see things in her athletes and utilize her expertise to help them through. I look forward seeing where we are as a team in the years to come.”

I knew the Elsie was the right coach for me from our very first interaction. 

From day 1 Elsie was not only interested in my story. She was invested. I have a long history of injury, disordered fuelling, and over training.  She met me where I was at the time and she has helped me to grow leaps and bounds from that spot. Never once judging my past but always keeping my focus on how far I have come. 

Elsie came into my life as a running coach and to help me become a better athlete. She has become so much more than that. She is a mentor, a sounding board, a reality check and most of all she is my biggest cheerleader. 

After we started working together Elsie told me she saw huge potential in me and really hoped she would get to be a part of that story. Coach it is an honor to be on this journey with you.  You have not only changed my life you have saved it.

Elsie is so much more than just a coach! Elsie truly cares about her clients fitness achievements. She is focused on finding the best way possible to help her clients reach their goals safely while avoiding burnout and injuries.

As athletes we sometimes ignore what our bodies are trying to tell us. Elsie recognized when my body was trying to tell me it was tired and adjusted my training plan accordingly. She taught me how incredibly important it is to rest (and stretch).

My journey to successfully finishing my first marathon would not have been possible without Elsie’s guidance. Want to know the best part? I crossed the finish line without hitting the dreaded “wall” that we so often hear most first time marathoners hit!! Aside from Elsie’s desire to help her clients succeed, she is also there for her clients when they need it most.

Toward the end of my marathon training I endured some personal struggles and at times it was nearly impossible for me to get my runs in as planned. Elsie checked on ME often, she truly wanted to know how I was doing, not just how my training was going.

Her kindness and compassion during that difficult time reminded how blessed I am to have such an incredibly coach!

I’ve increased my strength, flexibility and stamina and am now very fit. My quality of life is fabulous.

Elsie has taught me many new ways to exercise. We have fun each week exploring new challenges!

I recommend her highly.

– Susan Gibson, age 70

I had previously gained a lot of weight and felt uncomfortable with myself and others around me while trying to lose it.

She helped me to see things differently and working together haven’t looked back.

In the first three months working with her once a week I managed to lose over 20 lbs. Every week she provides me with new challenges and continues to show me that I’m capable of so much more than I ever thought I would be.

l have come a long way in such a small amount of time and without Elsie’s help I fear I may have given up a long time ago. I look forward to our work outs and continue to work with her on a weekly basis.

– Phil Ostiguy, age 44

I’ve worked with Elsie for over a year now. It started with a personal training plan. She listened to all my goals and she adjusted and tailored my program to ensure maximum results.

We worked together and she mapped out a plan to maintain strength in CrossFit all while achieving a sub 2 hour 1/2 marathon. Elsie becomes personally invested in each of her athletes and becomes their biggest cheerleader!

She dialled in my nutrition. Elsie keeps it simple and makes it easily understandable for her athletes. I highly recommend Elsie as a coach, she will make sure you reach all your goals!
