"It is so positive for me to participate in a group where Ellen concentrates on what I can do and not what I can't. She adapts as much of the program as she can. I do not feel left out.

Highly recommended!" Marg

Since working with Ellen, the pain and numbness are gone. Her customized weight and fitness program fits into my busy day and has worked beautifully." Karen



"I'm a 15 year old volleyball fanatic with the potential to become an Olympic medalist. When I was accepted to the York University volleyball camp, I knew I needed help. Due to previous injuries I needed coaching to become physically fit so I could endure playing my sport for several hours a day.

Ellen helped me a great deal. The different stretches and constant encouragement helped me through this in one piece. I thank Ellen, and I hope she can do it for me again." Vida



"I have known Ellen for a very long time and did aerobics with her twenty years ago.

Currently she is my personal trainer three times a week. We have been doing an aerobic and weight training program since March 2002. Our workout has gotten to the point where we keep exceeding our goals.

Actually the workout has been a lifesaver for me in that I feel mentally and physically healthier; my metabolism is again working well. I truly think that without both the workout and friendship, I would be in a very different unhealthy place. My weight stabilized and my strength has grown of which I am happy about both. I receive a lot of compliments and at 51 that is really more than I could have hoped for.

Ellen is very careful, making sure that you don't hurt yourself when training with both a warm-up and cool-down. Also she starts you with what is reasonable for the individual, (even if we think we can do more). I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting a healthier life and have done so on several occasions. Whether you are looking for a one on one or a group effort she is great at both and is very flexible as far as scheduling. Besides getting a healthier lifestyle you'll laugh a lot as well which is extremely healthy." Maddy



"Working-out should be fun and now it is!

Thanks Frame of Mind!" Carole



"I got in touch with Ellen Noel when I was feeling like all hope was gotten, I think I could say I was hitting rock bottom. Ellen's compassion, understanding and insight into peoples emotional health has saved me.

Within six weeks I can't believe how wonderful I feel. I catch myself whistling and singing again. There is a star in heaven with Ellen's name on it." Sue



"When I contacted Ellen I was in a state of despair about my weight. I was working out on a regular basis but no matter what I did, my body mass remained the same. I was frustrated and at the same time concerned that I would gain back any weight I had lost in the past.

Ellen explained that my body had adapted to the work I was doing and that I needed to shock my system. She prescribed a cross-training program that included aerobics, mobility exercise, stretches and rigorous weight lifting. I have gone from a size 16 to a size 12 and did not lose 1 pound. In my entire life I have never felt this good about my physical appearance.

Now I would not hesitate to wear a strapless gown whereas before I would not have considered it.

Thanks Ellen and Frame of Mind!" Verla
