Hi I am Ellie Mellon. My husband Jim and I moved to Richland after we were married. We have two dogs Rhiannon (cairn terror) and Nala (Morkie).
I got into fitness about 3 years ago when I looked at a picture and was shocked. I wanted a life style change not just a diet. I was never one to really enjoy exercise until now. I have made the gym my second home. I decided that I would start with group fitness so, I got certified with AFAA. Then I had Lynn and a few others suggest I get certified in Les Mill's body pump, so I did that too!!
I want to be a part of your fitness journey because I enjoy watching people reach for their dreams. I also like to encourage people to take care of them self and to have fun doing it. I am so excited to be a part of LJ's family!

Hi, I’m Tony. My experience here at LJ’s has truly been a blessing, both as a client and as a member of the staff. The best blessing of all is watching and working with others to achieve their goals. I teach Boot Camp and my new class, Body Moves, which is all about dancing and finding that natural rhythm we all possess. Focus, dedication, and discipline are three important things that help with my workout and can help yours too, whether you are alone or in one of my classes. Focus and develop a mindset when it comes to your workouts. Be dedicated to these workouts, and discipline yourself by denying the things in your life that stop you from doing your best!

Hi my name is Shaena Caggiano. I have been a fitness instructor since 2012 teaching Zumba and Zumba Toning. I love teaching Zumba. It's a great, easy to follow workout. When I moved to this area I feared I wouldn't get to teach again, but LJ's took a chance on me. In addition to Zumba, I teach Boot Camp, BODY PUMP and Silver & Fit classes for seniors. I am so grateful to be joining the LJ's Fitness Family. I look forward to working with everyone and meeting a lot of new people.

My day job is teaching English and Performing Arts at Susquehanna Township High School out in Harrisburg. But here is a little secret….I may like teaching group fitness better! When I was a teenager, I became addicted to step aerobics. Since I was at the gym all the time anyway, I decided to get my group fitness certification in 2008. At about that time I started taking Les Mills Body Pump. I was, like most women, fearful that I would develop bulky muscles from lifting weights. But all of the evidence points to the fact that women, especially aging women, need to lift weights to maintain strong bones and avoid osteoporosis. Besides, sculpted muscles are beautiful! I decided to get the Body Pump certification and joined to LJ’s family in 2011. I live in Robesonia with my husband, two kids, and three dogs. I am inspired by the people who come to the classes and love to motivate and push them as they do for me!

I have always had a passion to encourage and help people take care of their bodies. I graduated from the Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy in 1993. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, a continuing education provider for Massage Therapists through the NCBTMB, an Accredited Infant Massage Instructor through Baby’s First Massage® and completed my Infant Massage Instructor Training through the International Association of Infant Massage.

In 2016 I developed a desire to learn more about the benefits of Yoga, which then led to a strong desire to want to share this information through teaching. I researched Yoga schools and found the perfect fit with a faith-based Yoga teacher Training – YogaFaith. In May, 2017, I graduated from YogaFaith with my 200 hour R-YFT Certificate and am a RYT®200 with the Yoga Alliance.

Lynn offered me the opportunity to take some of the Solver Sneaker Classes and I now teach some of those classes. The seniors inspire me! I am thankful to be a part of LJ’s Fitness team and work along side of the most amazing staff and members!
