Meet the Team

Meet Ellie & Jessiah, a husband and wife team.

Ellie has been teaching group fitness for 20 years with a focus in Lagree for the last 11 years. She has worked as a master trainer and studio co-owner for multiple Portland-based studios. Her focus in the virtual studio is to bring you Microformer classes that are effective and challenging, with mindful cues to help you find your best form from home. Her classes are well-balanced and thoughtfully sequenced. Jessiah (sometimes referred to as “Sy” or “Siah” during class) is a fitness model, jack-of-all trades, and a spin instructor. He is the location scout, Microformer model student, and carrier of all the heavy equipment.

“I tried a few other Micro instructors’ streaming platforms before finding MicroAdventures, and I was so happy I finally found a platform that had everything I was looking for. The video and sound quality is always great, and of course the beautiful scenery the classes are filmed in adds a unique/creative aspect. Ellie is creative in her sequencing on the Micro, and I love that she always focuses on proper form, smooth transitions, and only cuing moves that work well the Micro. It’s very clear that she’s very knowledgeable and experienced in fitness and has great awareness of what’s going on in your body. She offers a wide variety of challenging classes, so you can always find the type of workout you need. The live zoom classes on Saturday mornings are an added a bonus too!”
