Love Ellipse Allouez, owner Heather and all of the staff are amazing. Even through the lockdowns they bent over backwards to help us stay active with Zooms and online workouts. They truly care about their customers.

Here are a few things I like about Ellipse Fitness. My workouts are constantly changing and I don't have to think about it! The trainers correct my form and encourage me to push myself when appropriate, as well as suggesting modifications when needed. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. . . for the first time in my life I look forward to working out (training:)

Response from the owner · 7 years ago

Yeah! Thank you so much Karen! You've come so far and we are honored to be part of your journey!

I totally love this place. I'm so glad I found it on accident. The coaches are so supportive and so are the other members. The only down side is how expensive it is per month. I have recommended it to all of my friends

Response from the owner · 6 years ago

Kelsea, thank you so much for sharing your experience, both online and with all of your friends! We’re so excited to continue this journey with you! PS: tell your friends to talk directly to me so I can do something special for you all.

I have a been a member since 09/2015. Love the friendly trainers/staff and the variety of workouts. You get Strength training, Cardio, and Kick boxing. Love how there is something new everyday. Bonus is that they offer multiple class times so that it fits my schedule.
