Personal Training That Works With You
-
Mobile Personal Training
Don’t have access to a gym or home equipment to work towards your fitness goals? Don’t have time to drive around town to fit in a training session? Need someone to help hold you accountable and push your fitness training?
Let’s move! I will come to you when it works for you! I can bring a variety of training equipment or we can use what you already have at home.

In the Gym Personal Training
One-on-One, Two-on-One, and Small Group Training
If you are outside my mobile service area but are still looking for Personal Training with me (or just prefer the gym environment), we can book space at CORE Strong (subject to space availability). More training options are available here, including small group, cardio equipment, and heavier resistance training.

Training Services
-
Strength & Resistance Training
Strength & resistance training can include any number of things. We can mix & match modalities (weights, MAXPRO cable machine, TRX, etc) to maximize our training sessions depending on your goals, activity preferences, and preferred method of training. Common focus sessions include:
General muscle development
Endurance and/or power
Maintenance & longevity
Weight loss & management
Let’s talk about your goals and fitness aspirations so we can come up with the best plan to work for you.
-
Mobility & Flexibility
Having trouble reaching behind your back? Want to maximize your overhead press? Do you have aspirations of getting splits? Flexibility and mobility training can be an overlooked part of any workout program but is crucial for having a functional body for the long run. Common focus sessions include:
Strength/functional training mobility
Body maintenance & longevity
Deep stretch for maximal flexibility
Sport/activity specific ROM
(dance, climbing, lifting, pole or circus, etc)Mobility and flexibility work are some of my favorite topics to coach. No matter what your goals or desired focus, we can develop a plan to get your where you want to be safely and progressively.
-
Handstands & Inversions
Interested in starting a handstand journey but not sure where to start? Do you have some ability to kick up against a wall, but not sure where to go next? I’ve got options:
Building confidence upside down & on hands
(beginning or limited experiences)Some experience
(can kick up w/ or w/o a wall and hold for some time)Expanding shapes
(levers, forearms, hybrids, etc)While I will not be able to help with one-arm handbalancing aspirations (that is just outside my area of expertise), I can start you on your handstand journey, adjust your current alignement, or work with your current skill level. Talk to me about your goals and let’s see where we can go!
-
Combo Sessions
Mix and match your training focus to work on getting to your goals in a targeted and concise block of time. Combo sessions are most useful for combining to following:
Strength + Flexibility/Mobility
Flexibility + Handstands
Mobility + Balance
Got something else in mind? Let me know and let’s talk through your plan. Combo sessions are recommended to be at least 60-90min long depending on the focus.
Mobile Service Area
In Person Training
Service area for mobile training (I come to you) is limited to the following KC metro area:
South of both the Kansas and Missouri rivers
Inside I-435 from the East and West
North of 135th St
Accommodations outside of this area can be made with arrangement depending on my availability - an additional mileage/service charge will be required in most cases. Options may be open depending on my schedule availability and where else I am already coaching.
Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or to verify your location parameters!
Virtual Training
Online training can be available provided you can submit a list of how much space and accessible equipment you have. The more info you give, the better prepared I can be for these sessions.
Zoom links will be sent at the time of booking and these sessions are subject to the same booking & cancelation policies as in-person sessions.
Rates
I try to be as open, reasonable, and transparent about what I can offer and how I can help. These rates are subject to change but I will do my best to give as much advance notice as possible.
Service charges for out-of-area will vary based on mileage and will be discussed when booking your sessions.
Sessions must be booked and prepaid at least 48hr in advance and ALL sessions require at minimum 24hr notice for cancellation or reschedule. Late cancellations and/or no-shows will be charged for the entire cost, no exceptions.
NOTE: Specific conditions apply to contract training which will be discussed during booking and signing of your contract.

About Elena Sherman
Elena Sherman’s humble beginnings with fitness began in middle school through “competitive” swimming (with quotes as she just liked being in the water, racing wasn’t the important part at first). It wasn’t until her senior year of high school that she really began to take her fitness goals seriously and started branching out & expanding into other avenues.
As a professional within the fitness industry, Elena has held many different roles. She has worked full-time as a fitness wearables User Experience Designer (Garmin: 2011-2015) and large fitness equipment User Interface Designer (Nautilus/BowFlex: 2015-2017). She was a circus/aerial coach and performer (2012-2024; see more under the “CIRCUS” page). She has participated in sprint triathlons, running events (5k-10k), and road cycling races (10-40mi). Most recently she has become a TRX PRO coach (2025), a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)(2025), and a BODYBAR Pilates instructor (2026).
Through it all, Elena’s passion has always been to move - she loves being active and learning as much as she can about encouraging other people to feel comfortable moving as well. Her coaching style is very much a blending of her different backgrounds, all leading her to become the best version of the coach that she is today - ready to move and ready to get you moving too, no matter where you are starting or coming from!
