More than 15 years ago my husband suggested I start working out to help my state of mind. I took him up on it and started working out one on one with Ellen (Ellen Shannon Fitness Solutions) At some point Ellen asked me if I would be interested in joining a boot camp for women. The time would be 5:30 am. To say I was skeptical was an understatement! (I might have even thought she was crazy!) What could be more fun than getting up at the crack of dawn to be put through the paces along with other ladies? However, 15 years later I am STILL HERE! - So who is the crazy one now?! My day always starts off better when I have exercised- I feel better mentally and physically. Ellen puts a lot of thought into our daily workouts and makes sure each workout hits all the muscle groups. Yes, we moan but we are all the better for it! So THANK YOU Ellen for all that you do to help us be a healthier version of ourselves. Carol (May 2022)

A year ago, this month, I made a huge change in my life. I started Ellen’s boot camp! When I made the decision it was GO BIG or GO HOME. I went from NO exercise to working out five days a week! Did I mention that I go every morning at 5:30am? YUP that’s what I do! It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Ellen has been more than a fitness coach......she has been my life coach. She is so supportive and helpful with my ups and downs. She always knows when to give me that pep talk or small comment to lift my spirits just when I need it most. I really can’t say enough about her as a person. She has made so many lives better just by providing support. She is knowledgeable about fitness and goes above and beyond to help you reach your own goals. I feel so much better about myself emotionally and physically and I am getting stronger and stronger every day. That in itself is such an amazing feeling. Thank you Ellen for being who you are and being that mentor to me and so many others out there.
