Hey everyone! My name is Ellen Ward, I am 32 years old, a mother of three beautiful kids and a passionate group fitness instructor here at Gym Tonic! I have almost ten years of experience in the fitness industry and have worked at various gyms around Perth gaining knowledge and working with amazing people along the way. Prior to completing my cert 3 and 4 in fitness I was a classical ballet dancer. It’s safe to say music and movement have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I am also a qualified personal trainer but lately I have been focusing on teaching many classes at the gym including step, spin, aerodance, stretch, pilates and the upper/lower body and core classes! (The group fitness studio is basically my second home haha)

I have competed in the bikini division at ICN where I placed 1st in my division, I would love to compete again so that is a goal of mine for the future. I love what I do and I strive to bring joy and excitement to every class so that everyone feels welcome and supported. I have a keen eye for technique and alignment so everyone can rest assured they are in safe hands when they come to my classes. A quote I love is “Exercise is a reward for what our bodies can do, not a punishment!”
