From Athletes to Guides: Our Personal Trainers' Journeys
Each personal trainer at Mike’s Fitness JP brings a unique story, driven by a common passion for health and fitness.

Then there’s Elena, who found her calling in personal training after a career in dance. Her approach combines the discipline of ballet with the dynamism of functional fitness, creating a unique training style that caters to individuals of all fitness levels. “Fitness is a dance between pushing your limits and honoring your body,” Elena says. “It’s about finding balance, strength, and grace.”
