    Candid. Powerful. Necessary.
    This podcast is amazing. I’ve enjoyed every episode thus far. Ellen is such a passionate and consummate professional. The episode on ED is single handily the most real and important contribution to the fitness industry that I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve been in the industry since the 1980’s and no one has ever been so vulnerable and honest on a public scale. Truly she is one of a kind. She has emboldened us all. Don’t sleep on this podcast. 💜💜💜💯💯💯

    Best practices and tips that apply to so much more than Group X
    Ellen is legit! This podcast is informative, inspiring and authentic delivered by someone who is as genuine as it gets. So many of these tips apply to so many other areas outside of the group X arena as well.

    Such a great podcast for inspiring & seasoned group fitness instructors. Ellen is not only sharing great tips from her 20+ years of experience in the group fitness arena but she also provides great insight on what it takes to stand out as a true group ex professional. If you are looking to elevate yourself as group ex instructor this is a great resource!
