MEET YOUR COACHES!

Hi, I’m Elli 🤍

Group Class Instructor, Somatics Guide, Personal Trainer, Head Olympic Weightlifting Coach, and the Owner!

I am deeply passionate about helping women (and others!) feel strong, safe, and truly at home in their bodies.

I blend inner child healing, mindset work, strength training, and somatic practices to support you in unlearning limiting beliefs, regulating your nervous system, and changing the way you talk to—and care for—yourself. I love lifting heavy s*** in the gym… and I care just as much about teaching you when and how to put it down in life, too.

Whether we are lifting weights, slowing down with breath, or I am holding space to allow you to seen and supported, my goal is always the same: to help you reclaim your power and fall in love with the body you get to experience this life in.

Let’s grow—together ✨

Hello! I’m Garrett

Most people call me “G.” I’m outgoing, a little funny, and I genuinely love being around people. I’m a proud dog and cat parent (they run the house), and when I’m not coaching you can usually find me training, golfing, or spending time with the people I care about most.

Fitness has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Coaching gives me the opportunity to help people grow—not just in the gym, but in life. I love watching athletes hit new PRs, build confidence, and realize they’re capable of more than they ever thought. I’m also someone who truly enjoys listening to people’s stories and passions, because life isn’t always easy and I know how hard it can hit sometimes.

You’ll usually catch me coaching in the evenings, with the occasional surprise appearance in our morning classes. I’m excited to coach you, support you, and be part of your journey—inside and outside the gym.

Hello! I’m Kyle

I am the Assistant Olympic Weightlifting Coach at Empower Mind Body Soul. I work with athletes of all levels—from competitive weightlifters to those who’ve never touched a barbell—and I’m passionate about guiding you through your Olympic Weightlifting journey.

I’ve been involved in athletics my whole life, including football, baseball, curling, and rugby. After years of competing in Olympic Weightlifting, I earned my USAW Level 1 Coach Certification in August 2025 so I could share my love for the sport with as many athletes as possible.

As the resident movie buff, expect movie quotes, random film trivia, and plenty of talk about what I’ve been watching lately. I live in Fargo with my wife, Rebecca, and our two poodles, Crue and Charlie.

I’m incredibly excited to support my athletes. I love helping people learn new skills, refine their technique, and become the strongest versions of themselves. Whether you need help with your snatch or just someone to listen—or give a hug—I’m here for you.
