There is so much I can say about Ellen, her workouts and the community she has created. Ellen is by far the nicest person you'll ever interact with. She only wants the best for you. And she knows how to get that outta you. Ellen's workouts are well-structured, straightforward, and easy to follow. I really appreciate how approachable and effective her training style is. The community Ellen has created is amazing. There are a few of us that are day 1s, who signed up in December and are still here nearly 9mths later. But, even the people that joined 1 or 2 programmes ago, have become a massive part of my training. My encouragement. My day. I love catching up with them, daily. We hold eachother accountable. Boost each other's motivation and help with mindsets. I honestly can't recommend Ellen and her community enough! Thanks for everything, Ellen 🫶🏻🙌🏼

I have been following on FB for some months, and I just jumped on this Summer Shift Challenge! Loving how much more strength I have. Ellen has shown me thru this challenge the things I never knew I could do and push myself! She has helped change me and my mindset. She interacts with the community, helps, and encourages everyone! Lot's of virtual hugs for being a GREAT INSPIRATION!!

I loved this challenge. It got me to work out 5 times a week, instead of maybe 2 times a week. The workouts are fun and challenging. Ellen is a real personal trainer during these challenges. She motivates every day and aswers any question you may have about the exercises or the challenge in general. I appreciate her videos of the exercises, they were very helpful and easy to apply. I especially liked the switch up in exercises halfway the challenge. Special shoutout to the community, we were in this together. 🧡 I already signed up for the next challenge. 🎯

Summer Shift was definitely worth it! I liked the structure of the program and the flexibility each week offers. I definitely have a better understanding of how a full body workout week looks now. The only difficulty I experienced was not having the same workout equipment available at my gym/home. I think it would be cool to identify at least one alternative for each exercise. For example, what's some alternatives to lunges? I like the fact that I don't have to think about what I'm doing, it was already laid out for 6 weeks. Ellen was responsive to everyone's questions and the community is very engaging. Summer Shift has been a wonderful experience and I plan to sign up for the next session. I'm excited to have continued access to this regimen in the future too!

I’ve been doing these fitness challenges for about a year now,I feel stronger and healthy since then. These programs and community Ellen has build here is amazing. Everyone is supportive and helpful. Ellen is an amazing coach and will answer any crazy questions you have. Definitely love that I have added this program to my fitness life.

I am just finishing the 6-week Summer Shift challenge with Ellen, and it was an amazing experience! The workouts were easy to follow but still pushed me outside my comfort zone, which made it both approachable and challenging at the same time. The community Ellen has built around this program was such a huge motivator—everyone was so encouraging and supportive, which kept me accountable and excited to show up each day. I’m already signed up for the next challenge and can’t wait to keep the momentum going. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking for structure, community, and results!

Finishing my fourth challenge with Ellen and can’t recommend her enough. Ellen’s programming is great for any fitness level, whether you’re a newbie or regular to working out. I’ve been following Ellen’s programs for almost two years and still find the challenges engaging and challenging. My favorite part of following Ellen’s challenges is that she keeps things realistic. From the food she eats to taking rest days when needed, she sets the example for how to build a fitness lifestyle without giving up foods or working your body to exhaustion. Ellen also shows that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see results, you just need to be consistent which is what her programs help build. Excited to continue my fitness journey with Ellen!

I love not having to think about what my workout will be each day. The app is easy to use and offers home and gym workouts. The community is amazing! Finishing up my second challenge and already signed up for the next one!

I just want to take a moment to express how deeply grateful I am for the fitness challenge Ellen put together. Without her, none of this would have been possible. She has a way of meeting people exactly where they’re at while still challenging them to rise higher. Her encouragement is not just about fitness, it’s about life, resilience, and discovering strength you didn’t know you had. Ellen, you’re not just guiding workouts; you’re changing lives. The way you show up with such passion, belief, and kindness has made all the difference for me and so many others. You created a space where we could grow, stumble, get back up, and keep moving forward. That takes more than knowledge, it takes heart. And you have that in abundance. Thank you for giving us not only the tools but also the inspiration to keep going. This challenge has impacted me in ways that go far beyond the physical. I’ll carry it with me, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. You truly are making waves and transforming lives. I’m honored to be part of the journey you’ve created

This is my 2nd challenge with @ellennieman and I will keep coming back as long as she continues putting content. Such a great way to hold myself accountable. If you want to see some results, you are in the right place. You get what you put in, if you give it your all you will definitely see results. The community here are a great support system and awesome people all around. I have met a great workout family and they help keep me in tuned. I love it here! Come join us! Happy Sweating!! LETS GET IT!!

At the age of 50, I now have completed 3 of her challenges. These challenges have taught me so much about myself. I have grown more stronger and confident with each challenge she has done. I love the fact that I can walk in to a gym, be 100% confident on how to use each machine to work each muscle group that day. Whether your a novis, or an extreme fitness guru, these challenges are for ALL levels and ALL age groups. What really keeps my coming back is the WONDERFUL AMAZING community we have on each challenge. Ellen does her very best to keep these challenges real, keeps them fun and definitely keeps me engaged where I know I will not give up. So, if you are reading this review, I strongly suggest signing up for one of her challenges, I promise you, you will not be disappointed. The only negative I have, is you WILL BE sore after your workouts if you perform them correctly. Lol! One last thing, Solin has a wonderful meal plan as well with so many delicious high protein breakfasts, lunches and dinners, even snacks and desserts. So, what do you have to loose? Ellen is AMAZING!!! SO SIGN UP NOW FOR HER NEXT CHALLENSE STARTING SEPT 1. I have gone from a size 12-14 down to a size 6 since starting her challenges in March of 2025.

Ellen’s programs are made to make you feel like you have your own personal trainer. The community aspect allows you to encourage each other. Summer Shift helped me find consistency that I hope to continue with moving forward.

This has been such a great challenge. The community Ellen brings together for each challenge is incredible and keeps you pushing harder week to week. I loved the new splits for this workout and Ellen does a phenomenal job of not letting challenges or workouts get repetitive. Each challenge has been the quickest 6 weeks!

always will enjoy elllens workouts! they keep getting better and better too so no feedback here other than keeep doing what ya doing girl, ya killllin it

These challenges are truly amazing! Ellen does a wonderful job of interacting and engaging with us!! The support is these challenges is unreal it truly is a gym family!! Much love to you Ellen!

These challenges are the best thing that has happened to me. Ellen is the most inspirationall person and she is so motivating she is the best

This challenge held me accountable because the workouts and reps were detailed and the videos were easy to follow! I loved having a guide to help show me how to do each and every work out whether that be in the gym or for the home version. Ellen was always quick to respond with any question through out the entire program!

I have done every challenge that Ellen has put out and they are all different. They all have the same goal being to get you in the best shape of your life. I would recommend this to beginners all the way to experts. Ellen is very engaging and always there for you if you need anything. She genuinely cares about your health and making you the best version of yourself.

I can’t believe how fast this challenge flew by— and how much I’ve grown because of it. From the first work out to now, every session pushed me to show up, dig deeper, and stay consistent. The structure kept me focused, the variety kept it fun, and the accountability made all the difference. Highlights for me: • Seeing real muscle definition… Hello progress! • Upping my weights • Building a stronger routine • The group chat that kept me motivated It wasn’t about physical gains— it was about showing up for myself, even on the tough days. I’m walking away from this challenge stronger, more confident, and ready for whatever… and yes, that includes Fall Fourward!

This is my 4th challenge with Ellen, and somehow they just keep getting better! Summer Shift was probably my favorite because it pushed me outside of my comfort zone and had me working harder than the previous ones. The community Ellen creates is amazing, everyone encourages each other and genuinely celebrates one another’s success! I highly recommend signing up for Fall Fourward and joining this community!

Ellen is a great trainer. My body has changed a lot since joining her challenges. I will continue to sign up for her challenges. She responds to any questions you have. She keeps you motivated to continue working out. Joining her challenges is the best thing I have done for myself. ❤️💖

About halfway through so far and already seeing results!

Joining Summer Shift is the best choice I have done in years. The workouts are excellent and challenging, and so balanced.

I have found joy with this new journey and can't wait to see where it will take me💪💪

Ellen's programs are awesome! I have grown so much in my confidence.

Another great experience from Ellen. She’s very engaging with everyone. If you’re new to a fitness journey or just trying to up your game, her program is amazing and would recommend it from the expert all they way to beginner.

This was my first ever challenge with Ellen so I didn't know what to expect going in as I had never done anything like this before. Ellen made it super easy to follow with videos on how to do the workouts and tracking weights/reps on her app. These workouts had gym and home versions so if I couldn't make it to the gym, I had ways to do it at home. The community she has is absolutely amazing, everyone there is so kind and encouraging! This helped keep me motivated throughout the challenge. I will 100% recommend her challenge's to everyone! This challenge helped kick start my health journey and I'm loving the results so far!

This challenge has changed my life for the better! The community as a whole is amazing! Super supportive and always uplifting! The amount of support and motivation from Ellen is incredible! I would recommend these challenges to everyone looking to stay motivated and keep focused while achieving their workout goals! The workouts are super easy to follow and if you have questions about anything to do with the workouts, everyone in the community or Ellen are willing to answer your questions. Overall one of the best workout programs I have ever been apart of! The change I’ve seen within myself in the last 6 weeks with the MAYhem challenge is crazy! Already signed up for the next challenge summer shift. If you’re not in this community yet or having given the challenges a try, you’re missing out!

The workouts are fun and challenging and the community that Ellen has built is second to none. The support and positive vibes are unmatched! I not only noticed changes in my physique but also my strength and overall confidence. I cannot wait for the next challenge to start!

This was my first time joining one of Ellens challenges and it was amazing! I fell out of fitness over a year ago, started back up this year and came across this challenge and it has been super motivating between the community it comes with and the exercises she has in the splits. It’s the kick start I needed and saw amazing results in just the 6 weeks. It’s great for beginners, people getting back into fitness or even for people who are already in the gym and just want a new split and the extra motivation. Definitely recommend and ready for the next one!

Great experience, the workouts were kickass. The community is very supportive & interactive. Ellen is amazing, has quick responses & is very involved with everyone. Definitely would recommend to others.

I'm so happy with this challenge! I lost over 25lbs in the 6 weeks and have improved my muscles more then I imagined! Already signed up for the next challenge! Have recommended to all my family and friends with similar goals to help stay on track! Thanks Ellen for creating this awesome community and challenges!

This was my third challenge of Ellen's and they just keep getting better! The workouts are well-structured, challenging, but so easy to follow. I love having the option for the home and gym version, it makes it accessible no matter where you are. What really makes these challenges so special is the community. It's such a welcoming and safe space where everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed and celebrate each other's wins! The support, motivation and encouragement from this community is unmatched! Ellen puts so much heart, intention, and energy into every detail. She’s active in the community every day, offering support, guidance, and encouragement from start to finish. Can’t recommend it enough!

This is my third challenge with Ellen and they get better each time! The challenges are great whether you’re new or experienced in the gym. Ellen makes fitness simple and uncomplicated, which makes the workouts fun and easy to stick to. Ellen stays engaged and the challenge community brings an extra level of motivation. Sticking with Ellen’s programs has not only led to amazing results in transforming my body, but also boosted my confidence in general. So happy to have found Ellen and already looking forward to another challenge!

Ellen is super present and helpful when it comes to completing these challenges. She takes pride in what she does and I’ve felt supported by her since day 1. 10/10 would recommend!

One thing I love about this challenge is that there was always support and guidance! The workouts are consistent enough to be able to focus on progressive overload and all are very flexible as far as alternatives if equipment is unavailable! Will definitely be joining the next challenge!

This is such an amazing program and the community is awesome. This is the first program I’ve ever fully finished. I’ll definitely sign up for the next one!!

absolutely love love love Ellen’s challenges, they just keep getting better! can’t wait to join the next one already!!

This challenge was life changing for me. Ive struggled to stay commited or see any progress with other similar programs but between how organized and well planned the workouts are and the videos as well as the community involvement, I had no issues staying on track and motivated and have seen great progress both physically and mentally. Not just me but friends and family have started to notice changes too. I will definitely be joining the next challenege

This is user friendly, easy to follow, and you get results. I appreciate the community and the programming. Thank you for making our community a healthier and happier one Ellen! I will be joining the next one for sure.

Life was lifing and I felt like I was having too many complications with my health. Thankfully the Mayhem Challenge popped up on my feed and I knew I had to join. I have been following Ellen for some years now and the way she has transformed her body is amazing. I started at 246 lbs and today I am 235 lbs. Catching Covid twice, each time I got it, it caused me to gain 20 lbs. Now when I step into the gym, I know what workouts I need to do and how to do them as well as what they can do for me and my body. I still have a long ways to go as I would like to see myself I believe at 170 so this will def not be the last challenge I sign up for with Ellen. When I step into the gym I step with great confidence and pride of how I am being transformed. I love knowing what exercises I need to work on bcus it keeps me motivated and in just this short time I can see the difference in my body, my confidence and knowledge of the machines. I can’t Thank Ellen enough for her hard work and dedication through all of this and the wants to see people transform themselves. I love it! I still can’t do a dang pull up 😆 but definitely know I will be able to in another challenge. LET’S GET IT!! On to the next challenge with @ellennieman and the gang!

I thought the group was so positive and up lifting. I loved being there, the videos were so laid out. I loved the workouts

I legit dont even know where to start with this review, but I decided to start with the community. I have done all 3 of Ellen challenges and with each challenge, the community gets more encouraging, friendly, and vocal. I don't think people engaged on Revive as much as they do now and that shows how much the community believes in Ellen. People will confidently speak up now because they've seen the progress they have made. They can feel the changes. Mentally and physically. Where as on the 1st challenge nobody knew what was to come. Or if it even would. But, this here and now, shows how much we, the participants, believe in Ellen and what she does. Not only are the workout structured but they're also super easy to follow. The videos for each exercise, are simple and straightforward. Now, the main lady, Ellen. She is by far the easiest, most genuine, humble person you'd probably ever have the pleasure of talking and working with. She genuinely cares and wants to help you become the best version of yourself. Honestly, hand on heart, scouts honour, if you're looking for a new challenge to get that hot girl/boy summer body, then you're 1000000% in the right place. 1st January 2025 I was 15st13lb, 223LBs, and unhappy. Today, 19th June 2025 I am 12st12lb, 180LBs, happy and loving my progress thus far. I can't, and won't ever be able to thank Ellen enough for how much she has helped me. Forever grateful. Forever loving her ❤️ Thanks Ellen 😘

Not only are the workouts challenging and beyond effective, the results are INCREDIBLE! Ellen has created such a positive community within her challenges, that you feel uplifted, encouraged, and supported during them, not only by her, but the "gym family" that you become part of within the group. Unlike a lot of trainers, Ellen encourages you to listen to your body and not blindly push through the workouts. She wants you to be the best version of yourself but in the safest and healthiest way possible!

I absolutely love the affordability. Love the designed workout that fits every level of fitness. Love that Ellen stays in touch with her community with any questions we may have. I love the fact that it keeps me motivated to go to the gym every day. Looking forward to doing many more challenges.

I’ve done every challenge Ellen has put out. Obviously there’s only so many exercises you can do but, each challenge has been different and kept my body guessing. Not one challenge had been the same. Ready for the next one. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
