The story
It started in a spare bedroom.
At 40, a single mother, Ellen lost the job she'd built her life around. She started over with a master's in exercise physiology, a handful of Pilates clients, and a question that became a philosophy: what if you focused on what you have, not on what you don't?
That “momentum shifting up” became a heart-rate-based workout, then a movement she co-founded at 54.
