If you’ve ever dreamed of having a personal trainer who can meet you wherever you are – whether it’s at home, the beach, or the park – with a baby in one arm and dumbbells in the other – then you need to meet Ellie Palmero of 4 Elements Fitness.
Based in the Whitsundays, Ellie brings mobile, one-on-one sweat sessions to wherever suits you. Her approach suits those who prefer privacy over gym floors or group settings, with a focus on what truly works for each individual.
Ellie’s four elements – strength, balance, personal, commitment – drive her work. It’s about building strength, finding balance in life, and showing up with unwavering commitment.
“Helping people embrace fitness has been the most rewarding work I’ve done,” she says.
“Watching clients transform, both mentally and physically, is incredibly fulfilling.”
One Healthy Habit?
The 5-minute theory. If you don’t feel like a workout, then after 5 minutes I give you full permission to quit, but if after that 5 minutes you feel like you can continue, go for it.
Rewarding part of being a health expert? When I can help guide adults to find the rewards of fitness, this sets them up to be incredible role models for our youth.
