I had been going to group exercise classes for many years and enjoyed the class and the other participants but I kept getting nagging injuries. My Dr. suggested I try personal training vs group. Specifically, someone who would watch my form while I worked out. My wife was already working out with someone named "Ellen" and suggested I have a lesson or two with her too.
One or two lessons morphed into several years. Having a personal lesson differs from a group lesson as it gives to time to talk and get to know your trainer. Ellen provided not only the training but also "a bond" which of learning from each other about life, health, cooking and multiple of other subjects. Our daughter in DC also joined in via Zoom and has classes with Ellen too. I think Ellen with extensive educational background can train about anyone. Her clients as I know of them range in ages from 90s to 30s and that's a skill many people don't have.
So I feel that Kansas City's loss is Arizona's gain. I am one who doesn't enjoy being in the basement with a bunch of machines solo and Ellen made the perfect link to get me moving, get out of the house and exercising. Without any reservation I recommend and encourage anyone to meet and workout with Ellen DeVore.

Ellen provides superb personal fitness training for clients of all ages. I had the privilege of working out with her twice a week for 10 years before her move to Arizona. She worked to ensure that I was always challenged, adapting to any constraints that injuries or health might create on occasion. Today I am a healthier, more mobile, stronger person for having worked so long with her. Jealous of anyone who gets the chance to work with her in Arizona!

I have always been active, but I wanted to take my workouts to the next level and get more structured with my fitness routine. I didn't want to join a large group fitness class, so I decided to work with Ellen at AYC and that was more than seven years ago.
I was immediately impressed by Ellen’s ability to keep my interest in the workouts, while pushing me to excel. She created a personalized training plan for me that was challenging but achievable. She also taught me proper form and technique, and she was always there to motivate and support me. I am stronger, faster, and more agile after working with Ellen.
I highly recommend Ellen to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness level, get more structured with their workouts, and avoid the large group fitness setting. She is a knowledgeable, experienced, and motivating trainer who can help you achieve your fitness goals.

We began working out with Ellen in small group classes in 2012. During Covid we switched to virtual classes and for the past three years she has trained us in our home.
Ellen is a wonderful person, and we have enjoyed getting to know her on a personal level. She is passionate about fitness and her energy and creativity is compelling.
Over the years our fitness goals have fluctuated, and Ellen is always willing to accommodate. This year we focused on core strength and flexibility and noticed an improvement with our golf game. We are happier and healthier because of Ellen and grateful to have her by our side. We were sad to see her leave Kansas City (and will especially miss her cookies) but looking forward to continuing our training sessions with her virtually.

Ellen has been my trainer for more than 10 years. Her approach to training is thoughtful and developed to take her clients’ needs and goals into mind, including physical limitations. Her training style is clear and concise, friendly and approachable.
Ellen has been training my husband for more than two years. He has bi-lateral knee replacements, as well as a hip and shoulder replacement. Ellen developed a comprehensive training program that has strengthened surrounding supporting tissue without putting any stress on the joint replacements.
We would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a professional and comprehensive trainer.

I started working out virtually with Ellen in May 2020. I hate working out but knew I needed to get moving. Ellen makes what could be a slog fun and challenging. She stays engaged in your workout, and she is committed to you doing your best. She'll modify anything to fit your needs and your body while still making sure you're getting in a good workout. I highly recommend working out with Ellen -- she rocks!

Ellen is an excellent workout partner. She challenges and encourages, so you can make the best of your workout. She will provide alternate exercises if needed and works at your comfort level. And, she likes to share her love of cardio, so come prepared! You will definitely see results with Ellen by your side. Ellen has your back…and your biceps, core and quads! She is one of the best!

I was working a desk job at my company and had heard about a company that was doing in-house workouts at no charge. I had been in need of a consistent workout. So I began a journey of rediscovering my physical fitness.
Ellen has been a dynamic part of my journey. I was able to work at my own pace but Ellen knew when to challenge me and I accepted those challenges willingly. She is very thoughtful in the programs she engineers and will tailor it to your needs at any given level based on your abilities from young to old. She will provide alternatives to your workouts to fit your needs. Ellen's knowledge is immense and it only takes a few workouts to see she will be an advocate in your fitness journey too!
