Virtual Strength Training Special! Share A Session With A Friend!

July 22, 2025

Very fit woman back in a workout top, showing muscle definition.

Meet my amazing client in this photo — she’s 67 years old and an absolute powerhouse.

We train together twice a week, and we don’t use tiny three-pound dumbbells. She lifts challenging weights that make her sweat and work hard. Why? Because building and maintaining muscle is essential as we age. Strength training helps with balance, bone health, posture, and overall confidence. It’s never too late to get strong, and she proves that every single session.

Helping women become stronger, healthier, and more confident has been my passion for over 39 years. This is exactly why I love what I do.

I’m now offering shared Virtual Training Sessions through FaceTime and Google Meet at a reduced rate. You can train with me from the comfort of your home — no matter where you are in the U.S.

  • Affordable shared session pricing
  • Real strength training tailored to you
  • Support, accountability, and results

If you’re ready to feel strong, energized, and empowered — I’d love to work with you.

Contact me for more details and let’s get started.

Elissa
XOXO

    Training with Elissa for over 5 years now has been such a game-changer—but doing it with a friend took it to another level! My friend Lauren and I trained virtually together, and it was not only super effective, but actually fun. Elissa made it feel personalized for both of us while still keeping it light and motivating. Whether you’re looking for accountability or just want to bring some joy into your workouts, I highly recommend training with a partner. Elissa makes it seamless—and you’ll actually look forward to it!

    I’ve been training off and on with Elissa for almost 15 years. When I was in my 60’s it was to get fit and firm arms for my son’s wedding.
    In my seventies it was to stay fit and work on strength and balance. I’m glad to say at 80 my balance and strength continue to stay strong. Hopefully if I continue these workouts I’ll stay fit. She’s a wonderful trainer and has been supportive and encouraging all these years!! I’d be happy to share virtual sessions if anyone is interested.

    I am new to training with Elissa. I was hesitant before my first workout, but Elissa is wonderful! She is so caring and encouraging! She pushes me but never farther than what I can do. She’s constantly checking in to see how you’re feeling during the session and makes adjustments if needed. Elissa has a wealth of knowledge and makes sure you are doing things properly to avoid injury. I do virtual sessions with her which is extremely convenient. Her workouts have me sweaty right away and I usually feel like jello after my session (in a good way) so you know you’re getting a great workout in just 30 minutes! Elissa is knowledgeable, kind, caring, and encouraging! Give her a try, you won’t regret it 🙂

    Elissa is an outstanding personal trainer! Our sessions have been virtual, which makes it incredibly convenient to stay consistent—even on busy days or while traveling. She’s fun, upbeat, and always encouraging, which keeps me motivated. Thanks to the healthy lifestyle habits and exercises Elissa introduced me to, I’ve experienced noticeable weight loss and improved fitness. I’m grateful for her support and encouragement.

Elissa is a wonderful trainer with extensive experience and a wealth of knowledge! I am so thankful for her, and I look forward to our sessions even though exercise is not my favorite pastime! Elissa is attentive, supportive and genuinely in-tune to my individual needs and limitations, always making thoughtful modifications while keeping sessions effective and encouraging! She keeps a close eye on form which I truly appreciate! Safe AND effective workouts are a top priority for her! She is top notch!

Elissa is a great trainer! She listens to what you need, restrictions you have, etc and designs challenging programs! I work harder in her compact sessions than ever before! She is flexible and responds quickly to texts. I highly recommend Elissa as a personal trainer!!

Elissa is an AMAZING trainer. I found Elissa with little to no knowledge of what workouts to do to achieve my goals. Elissa listened to my needs and created workouts that were tailored to my needs, explaining why we were doing the moves to achieve the results I wanted. She really takes the time to get to know you and is a great motivator. I'm seeing great results and I'm learning to enjoy my workouts now because of Elissa!

I have been working with Elissa for about 6 months and it has been an empowering experience. I am someone who spent her whole adult life focused on cardio, but my body is now telling me 'cardio-only' is no longer a good fit. My new goal is to pivot into building strength. Elissa's knowledge base is impressive. She can answer any question I throw at her (from nutrition to lifestyle to strength training). I work out with Elissa once a week and follow her plan at home once a week. I love that she adapts and introduces me to new movements as my body gets stronger. She is also great at working around my problem area (painful knees).
