Elissa M.
Instructor
Elissa is a lifelong athlete who competed in soccer at the collegiate level. After college, she transitioned into personal training and went on to compete in fitness competitions, earning professional status and coaching hundreds of athletes and non athletes alike.
Her career later expanded into the corporate world, but her passion for movement and performance never left. Today, Elissa has returned to what she loves most: helping others build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to their bodies.
She holds her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training certification, completed in Bali, and has completed STOTT Reformer teacher training. Elissa blends athletic precision with intentional movement to create classes that are challenging, supportive, and empowering.
She is excited to be joining the Club Pilates Barrhaven team and looks forward to helping members feel stronger, more capable, and more at home in their bodies.
