Anna Carroll

About Me

Anna believes strength is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. A former competitive powerlifter and experienced coach, she specializes in science-backed training that builds muscle, improves bone density, and supports healthy hormones at every stage of life. Her programs are progressive, joint-friendly, and intentionally designed to deliver real, lasting results, not quick fixes. She’s especially passionate about helping women navigate midlife and menopause with confidence, using strength training to protect metabolism, increase resilience, and keep the body strong for decades to come. Clients appreciate her detail-driven coaching, clear education, and encouraging style. You’ll work hard, feel supported, and understand exactly why you’re doing what you’re doing. Anna created Elysium to be the kind of gym she always wished existed expert coaching, zero intimidation, and a welcoming space where everyone feels strong, capable, and at home. When she’s not coaching or writing programs, you’ll probably find Anna with her nose in a fiction novel (ask her about A Court of Thorns and Roses at your own risk), crocheting something soft and slightly over-ambitious, or out in the garden convincing herself this is the year everything thrives. She and her husband Ryan (the most amazing teammate in life and business) are building their home, dreaming about growing their family, and currently being lovingly supervised by two cats and one very spoiled dog. Turns out the woman who loves lifting heavy also really loves slow mornings, cozy blankets, and a good story. Strong for today. Strong for life.
