Welcome to elladav personal training, where fitness meets empowerment in a supportive environment tailored for women.

I am a certified personal trainer based in Victoria, BC, who is dedicated to making the gym a comfortable space for you to discover the benefits of strength training.

Having had my own struggles with mental health, I have experienced first hand the impact that exercise, and specifically weight training, has on your physical and mental resilience and overall well-being.

Following 4 years as a police officer in London, I can fully understand how difficult it is to prioritise fitness and mental health in the midst of a busy and stressful routine. With this experience I can help you build a healthy relationship with exercise, one that works with you where you are at and removes any toxic mindsets that can hold us back.

My mission is to empower you to incorporate sustainable fitness practices into your everyday life, helping you feel confident and strong in every aspect of your journey.

Join me and discover how strength training can transform your life.

Reviews

  • Ella’s training has been an excellent and ‘super-charged’ addition to my fitness journey - Her programming is totally aligned to my goals, which she fully understands, and she is ever present if I get confused or stuck along the way. I have seen results in our 8 weeks together and am pumped to see how far we go! I will continue to recommend Ella to my friends, and I would encourage anyone with any fitness goals to check her out!

  • I have scoliosis and have been training with Ella for a few months now to help support my back. She pays close attention to what works for me and what doesn’t and is an overall super attentive person. Myself and others around me have noticed my scoliosis improving significantly since beginning my training and I feel like a much more confident, stronger version of myself.

  • "I have genuinely seen great strength gains as a result of Ella's programming. We work together to choose exercises I enjoy but also challenge me. I have been trained by Ella for 8 months now and it is the most consistent I have ever been and there is no sign of that stopping!"

    Kirsty, London

  • "The home workout program Ella made for me is ideal and convenient for someone who hasn't got a lot of time to pop to the gym! It is a really achievable program and I am already noticing muscle/strength gains. I can't wait to continue and see more results!"

    Daniella, London

  • "I love the gym plan Ella made me - she carefully considered my goals, amount of sessions and motivation when making my initial plan. The service didn't stop there and she adapted the plan as I trialed sessions and she was so helpful with advice and tips whenever I had questions. I have got a renewed sense of motivation towards fitness thanks to her help and support. I highly recommend working with Ella.

  • I’m so glad that I found Ella’s Instagram page and messaged her when I was struggling being confident in the gym. I was literally stuck in the middle of nowhere in my fitness journey, she helped me a lot to figure out where to start and how to especially organise my workout splits.. She motivated me so much to keep up with my nutritional intake as well. I would 10/10 recommend Ella’s personal training program for anyone who wish to achieve their fitness goals. 💪🏻✨💯

  • I always look forward to my training sessions with Ella! She is very motivating, kind and personable. She pushes you in a positive way and gives you the extra confidence to become strong and successful wherever your fitness level might be. Her knowledge base is vast and she keeps the workouts challenging yet fun! I would highly recommend Ella to anyone, she is simply the best!

    Heather, Victoria

  • Ella is a great trainer, her programs were tailored to what I needed with my hip injury. She took the time to learn about my injury and educate herself on my needs when it came to the gym and give me appropriate exercises to aid the injury.

    Janel, Victoria

  • Ella is a fantastic personal trainer. She is kind and super knowledgeable, and pushes you to lift heavier and get stronger at a reasonable pace. Everyone would benefit from strength training with Ella!
