When she founded N2SHAPE in 1994, Ellen Yates never imagined that the company would become her life’s purpose. Fitness is Ellen’s passion, and she’s created a business that lets her teach people to embrace healthy lifestyles and have fun doing it.
Ellen and the great team of trainers and specialty instructors she’s assembled have helped hundreds of people lose weight, achieve fitness goals, recover from injuries, and improve their health. N2SHAPE brings workouts that work to fitness clubs, homes, community centers, and businesses in northern Virginia, Tyson’s Corner, McLean, Vienna, and the rest of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
In addition to giving instruction in strength training and cardiovascular fitness, our certified professional trainers provide nutrition coaching, corporate wellness programs, Pilates and yoga classes, group instruction, injury rehabilitation, active aging programs for Boomers, and senior fitness for older adults and retirees.
We love what we do at N2SHAPE because we know it makes a world of difference to people just like you.
N2SHAPE values every one of our clients and counts them as our friends. We’d like to extend a hand of friendship to you. Are you ready to achieve those longstanding fitness goals? Contact us today. We’ll match you with the right trainer and design a program just for you!
