About Els
Introduction

Ena L. Shed received her calling to improve lives of others through fitness in 2004. Ena holds certifications through American Council on Exercise (ACE) as a Personal Trainer and at Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) as a Group Fitness Instructor. Since then Ena has committed her life to educating everyone in her path about health and fitness in with a holistic approach. Ena is currently furthering her education at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in which she will soon hold a diploma as a Mind-body Wellness Practitioner. In which then she will be a certified Life Coach, Holistic Nutrition Specialist and a Hypnotherapist. As a native New Yorker, Ena understands, respects and teaches the value of balancing life in three intertwining areas - The Mind, body and soul. Through coaching Ena helps us to change our mindset by help replacing negative connotations about our life situations, health, fitness for example to a positive thinking and an unparalleled, renewed energy of hope and accomplishment. As part of Ena’s positive Life Fitness program, Ms. Shed has coined the phrase “It’s all in your mind, how you think will determine your outcome.”


Mission / Philosophy

My mission is to offer a Mind, Body & Soul Experience. I will first help transform one’s mind set because you have control of your mind which will control your body. Your words and thoughts will create your reality. I will also help one to create healthy eating habits. Having a healthy diet will give fuel to your mind and body, which will make you feel good and generate positive thoughts. This outcome will reflect towards your physical actions in which I will develop a safe and effective fitness program that specializes one’s needs and concerns.

"You have control of your mind which will control your body. Your words and thoughts will create your reality... Having a healthy diet will give fuel to your mind and body, which will make you feel good and generate positive thoughts. This outcome will reflect towards your physical actions."
