She co-founded Orangetheory Fitness in 2010, a new fitness concept based on metabolic training that grew out of her focus on the physiological theory of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Her Orangetheory Workout, which is heart rate-monitored training designed to stimulate metabolism and increase energy, has been lauded by many as the best one-hour workout in the country.
Throughout her four decades in the fitness industry, Ellen has owned, operated and/or managed several spas in South Florida, and opened the first group equipment-based Pilates studio, in Fort Lauderdale. She has been named Business Woman of the Year in South Florida and has made frequent TV appearances as a fitness expert. Ellen is the former fitness editor for Women’s Fitness magazine, and has authored several fitness columns for the Miami Herald and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
