About Ellen DeVore

Ellen DeVore is the certified personal trainer behind Above & Beyond Fitness, coaching in-home, semi-private and virtual clients across Scottsdale and the Phoenix area.

Background

Ellen found her way into personal training while teaching spin at the YMCA in 2006, certified in 2010, and has been coaching ever since. After 16 years with clients ages 8–92, she has learned that good training is never one-size-fits-all: some days you build strength from a chair, other days you lift, sweat and leave a busy week behind.

She and her husband Michael moved to Arizona in 2023, where Above & Beyond Fitness began.

How Ellen coaches

Each session is built around your goals, your body, the equipment you have, and the kind of day you’re having. Ellen works with people who are new to exercise, returning after time away, working around an old injury or joint replacement, or training toward something they love. Personal training works alongside — not instead of — medical or physical-therapy care, so bring any guidance your doctor or physical therapist has given you.
