Elana Morrison's Transform Your Life - Personal Training

In October of 2011 I began my journey to lose weight, improve my fitness and basically transform my life. I was overweight, unfit, depressed and hated what I saw in the mirror.

With an impressive medical history of Glandular fever, chronic fatigue, a car accident, infertility, IVF & 6 operations my body was weak.

I had a miracle baby when I was 37 and 3 big operations followed a year apart. My body was so incredibly weak I found it hard to walk for more than 15 minutes and I didn't have the strength to lift my little girl as she grew bigger.

I couldn’t do a sit up (or sit up out of bed for that matter) or a push-up off my knees.

I knew that then, at age 41, I had to do something to change my life for the sake of my daughter and for ME. I didn't want to be a mum who just sat watching her child, I wanted to be involved in her life.

I tried all the weight loss fads and diets with no success. Meal replacement shakes worked a little but then the weight would come back as soon as I stopped using them. But the weight was only a small part of my problem. I was incredibly weak.
I had severe back pain due to my abdominals not working from the operations. I was to attend physiotherapy 3 times a week to get them working again.
I had no cardiovascular fitness. I would be puffed walking up a flight of stairs and my resting heart rate was rapid.

I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but what future did I have if I didn’t do something to turn my life around.

Then one day I decided that it was time. I joined the Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation and my life, body, mind and soul changed forever. I had a major transformation. I learnt how to exercise and how to eat, not just eat on a diet but eat for life. I learnt what foods to forget about eating ever again but more importantly what foods to eat to fuel the body, after all I was exercising 5 days a week and even though I didn’t look like an athlete I needed to eat like one.

As I transformed I found I was being asked advice from people who had noticed the changes. I’d gone from that quiet, hiding-in-the-back of the room person that no one noticed to someone full of life and energy that loved helping people.

From that moment on I knew I wanted to help other people who were just like me, transform their own lives.

I studied my Certificate III in Fitness and became a Group Fitness Instructor, specialising in RPM, Cycle, Boxing, Circuit, Suspension Training and school groups.

I have since furthered my studies to become a Personal Trainer (Certificate IV in Fitness) and have completed my Advanced Kettlebell Instructor Training, Powerbags, Battling Ropes, Mobility & Advanced Suspension Training to become a Master Functional Trainer.

Another area I have chosen to specialise in is the Bio-Mechanical and functional movement of the body and use screening techniques to identify imbalances that can cause injury. I have completed the exceptional REHAB FX course to provide me with brilliant tools for Correctional Exercise, Injury Prevention & Rehabilitate some of the most common ailments like ankle, knee, hip, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist and neck pain.

I also believe in educating and empowering people with knowledge so they can take control of their health and fitness.

I teach school groups, conduct corporate training programs, run group fitness classes, hold educational workshops and do personal training.

My journey has been amazing and has culminated in the most wonderful, rewarding career move.

It’s obvious to everyone that I love what I do!

The best thing is, I am now inspiring people to believe in themselves and make a positive difference to their life.

I can honestly say to you.... If I can do it, YOU can too.
