Coach Elisha

Hi I’m Elisha, 

I am a mother to 3 amazing kids. Vanessa is 21 years old, Vince is 15, and Vandon is my baby, who will be 13 in September. Wow! Where does that time go? I have been happily married to my husband, Brian, for 18 years. He’s my #1 supporter.

I have a passion for all things outdoors. Hiking is my all-time favorite hobby. I am proud to say that I hiked the tallest mountain in the lower 48 – Mt. Whitney. And I did it in one day! Which was insane. By the end of that day, I was questioning my love for hiking. haha

I love running and CrossFit/bootcamp style workouts. I ran several half marathons and have a few CrossFit competition trophies I am very proud of.

When my youngest was a baby, I made a choice to change my life. I have always been overweight, even as a child. After the birth of my youngest, I hit an all time high of 220 pounds. I knew I had to make a lifestyle change for my babies and their health. Because we all know our children do as we do and not as we say, right? By the time my youngest was 1 year old, I lost 80 pounds. Not only did I lose weight, but I peeled off layers of myself. For the first time in my whole life, I discovered the person I am meant to be.

I own a fitness brand called Flex it Pink with a fellow Lion Heart MMA coach Anna, who is a childhood friend of mine and was a huge supporter in my weight loss and fitness journey. I knew that together, we could be a powerhouse for all women. We could help women accomplish their own goals and lifestyle changes. Thanks to the amazing people who surrounded me, I was able to accomplish so many goals and dreams. I now have a chance to do the same and have a small impact in people’s daily lives with Flex it Pink and here at Lion Heart MMA.
