You see our coaches in their work environment, but do you know them personally? Sitting down with Coach Elly Davison to learn more about her in this quick Q & A!
1. HOW DID YOU GET INTO PERSONAL TRAINING?
I first studied PT out of pure interest but when I finished my Commerce Degree I knew my passion lied within the health industry. I was approached by Bianca and jumped at the opportunity to learn and be mentored by Daniel and herself at 141 Fitness.
2. WHATS YOUR STAR SIGN?
Libra- a bundle of energy, romantic and loyal to the core. On a quest for fairness, peace and harmony. Yup, that’s me!
3. MORNING OR NIGHT OWL?
I’m a morning person in the summer and a night owl in the winter!
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE 141 FITNESS CLASS?
HIT 50 because it’s an unpredictable whole body killer (in a good way)
5. HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK DO YOU TRAIN?
Usually 4-5 141Fitness Sessions out of footy season, 2 Footy Trainings and 1 Footy Game
6. ENDURANCE OR SPRINT WORK?
Endurance is my strength but I’m working on my weaknesses so sprint work is a bigger part of my routine and it feels good to make progress!
7. SWEET OR SAVOURY?
Sweet, oh so so sweet. Enough said.
8. WHAT’S YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE MEAL?
I’m pretty hooked on my Flipped Recipe E-Book Healthy Parmy at the moment!
9. WHAT’S YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?
Peppermint Magnums or an ice-cram from 48 Flavours….oh and Coconut Rough! I can’t just pick one!

An individual who has a clear goal. They are driven, committed and refuse to give up. They don’t complain and recognise the progress they are making rather than focusing on the end result. Their health is a long-term priority and they enjoy old tunes and a good laugh.

19. FAVOURITE WAY TO SPEND A SUNDAY.
My perfect Sunday would have to be starting the day with my Protein Pancakes, then a swim or time spent on the river skiing, finished off with meal prep so I’m ready to start my week right!

Nothing has to last forever. Do what is best for now and don’t get caught up thinking about the big picture. As much as you try to plan your life, things always change so learn to ride the waves.
24. FAVOURITE QUOTE?
“Having a low opinion of yourself is not ‘modesty’. It’s self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not ‘egotism’. It’s a necessary precondition to happiness and success”- Bobbe Sommer
