MYA Elkins, BS CPT
I’ve always been active but even as a three-season athlete in high school, I struggled with my weight, weighing over 200lbs. This was because I didn’t know how to properly care for my body. It wasn’t until I learned how to push myself and find joy in the process that everything changed. Now, I’m excited to help my clients find the same confidence and joy in their fitness journeys, no matter where they start.
As a personal trainer and run coach with a background in Psychology from the University of Oregon, I take a holistic approach to training that considers both your internal mindset and the external factors that shape your fitness journey. This comprehensive perspective allows me to create customized programs that build not only physical strength, but also mental resilience, motivation, and emotional well-being.
My mission is to empower my clients inside and outside the gym. Training with me isn’t limited to in-gym personal training sessions; my clients have the opportunity to join me at my run club, stretch class, or get personalized run coaching. All of these components work together to support everyone's fitness journey. Whether you're looking to lift heavier, increase your VO2 max, move better, or simply stay healthy, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a training experience that fosters a lasting love for fitness and helps you reach your full potential.
