Elissa Bayeh

Elissa made the switch from hypertrophy to strength training and has never looked back. She currently trains for competitive powerlifting in the Australian Powerlifting Union (APU). Her first sanctioned competition is in 2023 and she strives to progress as a high-level athlete in the sport. Elissa has learnt to prioritise mobility and rehabilitation to work through a hip injury from her early days of training. Overcoming this injury has pushed her towards her career path as she aims to help others overcome physical and mental barriers to achieve greatness.

She enjoys the typical snacking on sour lollies and napping between sets, but if you can catch her outside the gym, you’ll find her cooking up a storm or going on spontaneous car rides with friends.
