Ellen was raised in Westfield and is excited to bring Pure Barre to her hometown. From teaching various fitness classes at the local Y after college to participating in local running races, exercise has always been a priority. Ellen has worked as a managing director Wall Street for the past 15 years and is thrilled to be able to pursue her dream of owning a studio.
After running in several half marathons and training for a triathlon with her friend, Beth Flynn, they decided to finally embark on a new career in fitness. They tried all sorts of workouts but Pure Barre was the perfect combination of isometric exercise, pilates and cardio. Ellen feels fortunate to be able to bring this fabulous workout to Westfield, where her husband and two children reside.
