Before Evolve
I knew how it felt to be disconnected.
At my highest, I weighed 280 pounds while raising four children and building a demanding healthcare career. Like so many people, I consistently put myself at the bottom of the list.
Meet Coach E
My evolution became my strength.
Fitness gave me an active way to participate in my evolution, build functional strength, shape my body, manage stress, and become deeply connected to the woman I wanted to be.
Ellie “Coach E” Johnson
My story
Same person. A brighter me.
Becoming Ellie
Transition changed more than my reflection.
I began transitioning in 2024. As I became more honest about who I was, I became deeply intentional about how I cared for my body, my health, and my mindset.
Prepared for the journey
Fitness, recovery, and community.
Intentional fitness and balanced nutrition prepared my body for gender-affirming surgery and an empowering recovery. That experience also taught me that nobody should have to evolve alone.
Why I created Evolve EveryBody
The coaching space I wish I had.
The gender-diverse and queer community deserves fitness support that genuinely understands our unique goals without reducing us to them. Evolve EveryBody offers personalized training, practical nutrition, progress tracking, and consistent accountability in a safe, celebratory space.
