About Us

HEY THERE! Thank you for being here!

My name is Elena Carrión, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with over three years of experience in the fitness world. 

I’m 24 years old and grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the state of Washington. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2022 with a BA in Philosophy and English, and I’m on track to earn my J.D. from Elon School of Law this December! 

My athletic journey began in middle and high school, where I ran Track and Field and Cross Country. I began participating in equestrian sports at age five, and rode competitively throughout high school. In my first year of college, I discovered and fell in love with weightlifting, which led me to earn my NASM CPT, and to dedicating multiple training blocks to understanding my body and achieving my aesthetic goals. Throughout my time at UVA, I proudly competed on the club running team for all four years! 

I began coaching group strength and aerobics classes at Zoom Charlottesville and launched my own personal training business in 2022, where I’ve been able to share my passion for fitness and movement with others. 

I’ve completed 4 marathons and 3 half marathons, with 2 more races scheduled before the end of 2024. I've raced two Olympic triathlons (with the goal of completing a full Ironman before I turn 30), and a 10k Spartan race. This summer, I finished my first ultra marathon on Mt. St. Helens—40 miles with 11,000-foot elevation gain in 16 hours! 

I truly believe that being fit opens up a world of opportunities. It allows us to learn new skills and engage in experiences that we might otherwise miss. There’s so much richness in life waiting to be explored! I’m thrilled to be rebranding my coaching business and sharing my authentic message about fitness and health. 

Learn to train and move your body with purpose, to fully participate in your life, and joyfully . . do it all.
