My name is Ellie Bursztyn and I am 21 year old fitness enthusiast based in Melbourne with an unwavering passion for all things health, wellness and self-empowerment!

From a young age, i’ve always loved to move my body Growing up, I loved playing sports - always chasing a basketball ball, rallying on the tennis court or running around with my team mates. Sport gave me a sense of freedom, strength and community. But over the past few years, my journey with fitness evolved.

In my late teens, I discovered something that truly changed my life - the gym. Lifting weights, learning about resistance training and developing a consistent workout routine opened up an entirely new world for me. It’s not just about performance - it’s about feeling good. Feeling empowered. Feeling mentally clear and resilient while becoming physically stronger.

In conjunction with my degree in Nursing, I completed a Personal Training course () and am a certified PT.

I created Elevate with Ellie to inspire others to take ownership of their health journey—whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up. Here, we focus on building strength, nurturing wellness, and creating a positive, lasting relationship with movement.

I believe that when you commit to moving your body with intention, everything else begins to align: your confidence, your mindset, your energy, your goals.
