What People Are saying
When we started working together, I felt unsure of how to safely return to movement and totally disconnected from my body. Your postpartum strength coaching gave me more than just smart workouts—it gave me confidence. I learned how to fuel my body well, train in a way that supports true postpartum recovery, and navigate fitness as a busy mom.
One of the biggest shifts for me was mindset. I stopped beating myself up and started building patience, resilience, and self-compassion. I feel stronger, more grounded, and more at peace in my body now.

Online ClientI loved working with Ellyse at River Ford Fitness. I used to struggle with staying consistent in my strength training, but Ellyse helped me finally put the pieces together. Instead of throwing together random workouts, she created a progressive strength program tailored to my goals and time. The dynamic warm-ups even supported my running. The workouts were simple, fun, and effective—and I felt so much more confident seeing the results!

UltramarathonerAfter my third baby, I felt stuck and frustrated. Working with Ellyse at River Ford Fitness completely changed my mindset around postpartum fitness. Instead of just chasing weight loss, we focused on real strength. She’s a postpartum strength coach who actually gets it—both physically and emotionally. I ended up stronger than I’ve ever been, even before kids. She made it fun, pushed me in the best way, and yes—I still lost weight. Total game changer!
