Find your strong Again.
Lose fat, rebuild your metabolism, and finally feel confident in your body — without the extremes, shame, or chaos.
You’ve tried the all or nothing mindset to Lose fat and get strong
The detoxes, the 75-day challenges, the “eat less, move more” rules that never stick.
They made you feel disciplined for a while…
You even saw results and thought, maybe this time it’ll last.
But what those diets really teach is:
- Extremes: Crazy rules that keep you stuck in the no-fun food zone, serving a life sentence just to maintain progress.
- Pressure: To hit a specific weight, size, or timeline—or feel like you’ve failed.
- Have to mindset: “I have to eat this.” “I have to do that.” “I have to earn my food.”
But they didn’t teach you the key to keeping results long term…sustainability.
It’s not that you’re lazy — it’s that those plans were never built for real life, especially busy mom life.
But that’s where The Everyday Athlete comes in.
You don’t have to be an athlete to train like one.
Because athletes don’t just chase results—they fall in love with the process.
They show up, even when it’s not glamorous.
They learn, adjust, and keep going because they’ve found something they enjoy.
That’s what I help you do.
We’ll uncover the kind of movement you actually look forward to, build the habits that make it stick, and in the process—you’ll lose fat + get the results you’ve been after all along.
Because when you enjoy what you’re doing, consistency stops being a battle and starts being who you are.
Postpartum Strength Coaching That Actually Works
After 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!

I 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.
