This challenge has changed my life for the better! The community as a whole is amazing! Super supportive and always uplifting! The amount of support and motivation from Ellen is incredible! I would recommend these challenges to everyone looking to stay motivated and keep focused while achieving their workout goals! The workouts are super easy to follow and if you have questions about anything to do with the workouts, everyone in the community or Ellen are willing to answer your questions. Overall one of the best workout programs I have ever been apart of! The change I’ve seen within myself in the last 6 weeks with the MAYhem challenge is crazy! Already signed up for the next challenge summer shift. If you’re not in this community yet or having given the challenges a try, you’re missing out!

The workouts are fun and challenging and the community that Ellen has built is second to none. The support and positive vibes are unmatched! I not only noticed changes in my physique but also my strength and overall confidence. I cannot wait for the next challenge to start!

This was my first time joining one of Ellens challenges and it was amazing! I fell out of fitness over a year ago, started back up this year and came across this challenge and it has been super motivating between the community it comes with and the exercises she has in the splits. It’s the kick start I needed and saw amazing results in just the 6 weeks. It’s great for beginners, people getting back into fitness or even for people who are already in the gym and just want a new split and the extra motivation. Definitely recommend and ready for the next one!

Great experience, the workouts were kickass. The community is very supportive & interactive. Ellen is amazing, has quick responses & is very involved with everyone. Definitely would recommend to others.

I'm so happy with this challenge! I lost over 25lbs in the 6 weeks and have improved my muscles more then I imagined! Already signed up for the next challenge! Have recommended to all my family and friends with similar goals to help stay on track! Thanks Ellen for creating this awesome community and challenges!

This was my third challenge of Ellen's and they just keep getting better! The workouts are well-structured, challenging, but so easy to follow. I love having the option for the home and gym version, it makes it accessible no matter where you are. What really makes these challenges so special is the community. It's such a welcoming and safe space where everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed and celebrate each other's wins! The support, motivation and encouragement from this community is unmatched! Ellen puts so much heart, intention, and energy into every detail. She’s active in the community every day, offering support, guidance, and encouragement from start to finish. Can’t recommend it enough!

This is my third challenge with Ellen and they get better each time! The challenges are great whether you’re new or experienced in the gym. Ellen makes fitness simple and uncomplicated, which makes the workouts fun and easy to stick to. Ellen stays engaged and the challenge community brings an extra level of motivation. Sticking with Ellen’s programs has not only led to amazing results in transforming my body, but also boosted my confidence in general. So happy to have found Ellen and already looking forward to another challenge!

Ellen is super present and helpful when it comes to completing these challenges. She takes pride in what she does and I’ve felt supported by her since day 1. 10/10 would recommend!

One thing I love about this challenge is that there was always support and guidance! The workouts are consistent enough to be able to focus on progressive overload and all are very flexible as far as alternatives if equipment is unavailable! Will definitely be joining the next challenge!

This is such an amazing program and the community is awesome. This is the first program I’ve ever fully finished. I’ll definitely sign up for the next one!!

absolutely love love love Ellen’s challenges, they just keep getting better! can’t wait to join the next one already!!

This challenge was life changing for me. Ive struggled to stay commited or see any progress with other similar programs but between how organized and well planned the workouts are and the videos as well as the community involvement, I had no issues staying on track and motivated and have seen great progress both physically and mentally. Not just me but friends and family have started to notice changes too. I will definitely be joining the next challenege

This is user friendly, easy to follow, and you get results. I appreciate the community and the programming. Thank you for making our community a healthier and happier one Ellen! I will be joining the next one for sure.

Life was lifing and I felt like I was having too many complications with my health. Thankfully the Mayhem Challenge popped up on my feed and I knew I had to join. I have been following Ellen for some years now and the way she has transformed her body is amazing. I started at 246 lbs and today I am 235 lbs. Catching Covid twice, each time I got it, it caused me to gain 20 lbs. Now when I step into the gym, I know what workouts I need to do and how to do them as well as what they can do for me and my body. I still have a long ways to go as I would like to see myself I believe at 170 so this will def not be the last challenge I sign up for with Ellen. When I step into the gym I step with great confidence and pride of how I am being transformed. I love knowing what exercises I need to work on bcus it keeps me motivated and in just this short time I can see the difference in my body, my confidence and knowledge of the machines. I can’t Thank Ellen enough for her hard work and dedication through all of this and the wants to see people transform themselves. I love it! I still can’t do a dang pull up 😆 but definitely know I will be able to in another challenge. LET’S GET IT!! On to the next challenge with @ellennieman and the gang!

I thought the group was so positive and up lifting. I loved being there, the videos were so laid out. I loved the workouts

I legit dont even know where to start with this review, but I decided to start with the community. I have done all 3 of Ellen challenges and with each challenge, the community gets more encouraging, friendly, and vocal. I don't think people engaged on Revive as much as they do now and that shows how much the community believes in Ellen. People will confidently speak up now because they've seen the progress they have made. They can feel the changes. Mentally and physically. Where as on the 1st challenge nobody knew what was to come. Or if it even would. But, this here and now, shows how much we, the participants, believe in Ellen and what she does. Not only are the workout structured but they're also super easy to follow. The videos for each exercise, are simple and straightforward. Now, the main lady, Ellen. She is by far the easiest, most genuine, humble person you'd probably ever have the pleasure of talking and working with. She genuinely cares and wants to help you become the best version of yourself. Honestly, hand on heart, scouts honour, if you're looking for a new challenge to get that hot girl/boy summer body, then you're 1000000% in the right place. 1st January 2025 I was 15st13lb, 223LBs, and unhappy. Today, 19th June 2025 I am 12st12lb, 180LBs, happy and loving my progress thus far. I can't, and won't ever be able to thank Ellen enough for how much she has helped me. Forever grateful. Forever loving her ❤️ Thanks Ellen 😘

Not only are the workouts challenging and beyond effective, the results are INCREDIBLE! Ellen has created such a positive community within her challenges, that you feel uplifted, encouraged, and supported during them, not only by her, but the "gym family" that you become part of within the group. Unlike a lot of trainers, Ellen encourages you to listen to your body and not blindly push through the workouts. She wants you to be the best version of yourself but in the safest and healthiest way possible!

I absolutely love the affordability. Love the designed workout that fits every level of fitness. Love that Ellen stays in touch with her community with any questions we may have. I love the fact that it keeps me motivated to go to the gym every day. Looking forward to doing many more challenges.

I’ve done every challenge Ellen has put out. Obviously there’s only so many exercises you can do but, each challenge has been different and kept my body guessing. Not one challenge had been the same. Ready for the next one. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Love the workouts! Finally seeing progress after a few months plateau.

MAThen was my 2nd challenge and it was amazing! Ellen and the entire community have been extremely encouraging and present during the whole challenge. If you have trouble showing up and sticking with something, I promise this next challenge is what you need for accountability! Looking forward to challenge number 3 for me!

This has been amazing. Tried the March Madness and got hurt the second week in so I couldn’t go all out. I love the push, pull, legs, upper and lower workout regime. The number on the scale hasn’t changed, but I’m seeing a difference. I’m glad I took the chance and did this challenge!

This challenge was the best. The community and all the workouts are the best. Ellen is amazing putting these workouts together.

Ellen is incredible! Very motivating and encouraging and engaged with her contest participants!

This Mayhem challenge has been absolutely amazing and exactly what I needed to light a fire under my ass! The workouts are fire and the core exercises are an amazing bonus! I love the tracking it offers with each workout and the total weight lifted at the end! I feel very accomplished after each workout and find myself wanting more!

Its more than I expected because Ellen actually updates us on her progress, and actually is involved with the community. I had no idea she was also gonna be doing the challenge with us, I feel a lot more motivated that my favorite fitness influencer is by my side along the way. She's also very down to earth and admits taking rest days. She's only human! It makes me feel good about my setbacks and that I can just get right back on the horse.

It's pretty nice, I like that I can toggle between gym and home workouts as well as lots of nutritional information. Better upgrade than the Playbook app

Ellen’s MAYhem challenge had been awesome so far. This is the third one I’ve done and everyone has been different. It keeps the body guessing and everyday in the gym different. I would recommend her challenges for the amateur, casual, or expert in the gym. There are also home versions in case you can make it to the gym. She’s very engaging and genuinely cares about everyone’s health and fitness. You can reach out to her on the app and she will get back with you. I definitely give this 6 out of 5 stars.

This is my second program/challenge with Ellen, and I haven’t changed my mind about what I said in revive challenge. Ellen is a real inspiration and these challenges are amazing. The support in the community from Ellen and other challengers are a big help in getting up everyday and giving it your all in the workouts even when you don’t want to. The demonstration videos that Ellen provides are a huge asset in knowing how to do the workout correctly and if you still have questions about anything Ellen is very responsive in the community and answers all questions. These challenges really help me create a routine and go into the gym with a plan instead of wasting time wondering what I should do next. If you’re looking for a place to begin your fitness journey sign up for Ellen’s next challenge. AND if you’re looking to continue your fitness journey this challenge is also for you. The results that you can see if only 6 weeks if you put in the work and dedication are surprising. The community is filled with so much support from beginners to advanced lifters. This community is probably the best thing I have ever been a part of, thanks to Ellen!

If you’re working out and not getting results, this programme is so just for you. Since trying out these videos I had no idea what I was doing when it came to strength training and this program helps you to know what to do and has a great trainer and support. Very motivating!

I followed Ellen’s Tik Tok and Instagram for about a month prior to joining March Madness. I joined because I loved her passion for fitness and felt that she could help me on my losing weight and building muscle journey. I am extremely satisfied with the March Madness program and fitness routine. The workouts were easy to follow due to the videos that Ellen provided. After posting my after pictures, and comparing them to my before pictures I have definitely made progress. I am one of those people who refuse to weigh in because I don’t want to discourage myself, however, I have dropped two sizes and I can see the improvement in the pictures. Thank you Ellen for an amazing program and I’ll see you in May!!!

This was my first workout program with Ellen and it was amazing!! She is so supportive and active within the group. Even if your goal is small she make it seem big! Will definitely be doing more of her programs in the future!

This was my first time joining one of Ellen’s programs, and I am so thankful I did! My fitness journey really took a nose dive, but joining a this challenge gave me the courage and motivation to get back on track to being healthy again! The amount of support from Ellen and this community has been amazing, I feel like I can ask all the silly questions and receive so much support from everyone here! Tysm! I cant wait for the next challenge!

This has been the BEST 6 weeks! I appreciate everything Ellen has put into this challenge, I am still new to the gym but before I started the challenge I was just bouncing all over the gym with no routine, now I walk in and I know exactly what's going on and learning how to split workouts was also a big plus for me. I probably do every single challenge she has!

Ellen and her programs are amazing! She is so supportive and attentive. The community is very encouraging and kind as well. I feel stronger mentally and physically and will continue to join Ellen’s challenges. 💜

This was my first programme with Ellen and it was absolutely fantastic so much so I’ve already signed up to the next one, I’ve made so much progress in the last 6 weeks. Ellen is supportive and responsive if any questions and a fantastic role model as she’s doing it with us.

Ellen's program has been incredible! There are a nice variety of workouts, and an extremely supportive community. Ellen, herself, is responsive if anyone has a question, comment or concern. I am ending my challenge with a lot more knowledge & confidence. I am really looking forward to MAYhem. Thank you Ellen 🫶🏻

The workouts are amazing, challenging and effective. I look forward to working out everyday since I started this challenge. I like that it gives structure and a weekly routine. Way better than guessing what you’re going to do day to day. Can’t wait for the next one.

Loved the app and Ellen’s challenge! The community was a great aspect of it. It kept me going and I’ve progressed finally after so years of working out in the gym. This challenge has changed my body and attitude about health and fitness.

This challenge has been amazing.

I love everything about your challenges. It keeps me responsible and motivated. I feel like I have changed my life just by doing your challenges and dedicating myself to the gym. Thank you

I love the program has really made a difference in my life these past 5 weeks. Thank you for the inspiration and your continued support

In the last year I have tried 3 other programs. This program was the first time I felt fully supported to the point of enjoying the community just as much as the program. Workouts were great and I was able to do it all at home around my schedule. I didn't feel pressured to reach any certain goals. It was all about giving your best effort and being consistent. I would recommend it to anyone and I plan on joining the next challenge!! It was a game changer for me.

I have been thinking for hours what to write that would do Ellen justice... and nothing i say could scratch the surface and tell you how amazing she is. From her workouts to her communication and encouragement, there isn't a single thing I can fault her on. She is everything you never knew you needed. If you're looking for someone who cares and is passionate about what they do, who knows their stuff, (obviously, I mean, look at her) then you have found her. I honestly could never thank her enough for everything she has done for me. I am so much happier, positive, energetic and STRONGER, because of her. I would, I do, recommend her to anyone! 100%. I can't wait for the next challenge and the next and so on. Thank you so, so much Ellen!!

This is my second challenge with Ellen!! I loved the first one so much i signed up for another! I’ve been consistently lifting because of these challenges since the beginning of the year and now it’s something I look forward to everyday after work!! Thanks so much for the motivation and amazing programming! 10/10 would recommend no doubt. Thanks for helping me get back in a lifting groove and feeling strong again.

Ellen has been absolutely incredible with this challenge. It was extremely well organized, perfectly planned out. She was engaging and beyond motivational. She is the best of the best!

This challenge has been the best thing I’ve stumbled upon. It’s really pushed my limits, taught me so many things and the community is so supportive and consistent. Even tho it was just 6 weeks my body has transformed incredibly. Thanks to Ellen I’ve become obsessed with fitness and seeing the potential my body has. I can’t wait for the next challenge !

This is my second challenge with Ellen. I enjoyed the first one so much I followed it with the second! Ellen is great in creating and setting up the workouts so we know exactly what to do, video examples with the exercises, and communication. I highly recommend her programs. The community within the challenge is fantastic as well. Thanks for all you do Ellen! The pic below was the beginning of March Madness! Definitely made some gains!

This challenge helped me heal in a lot of ways. It pushed my limits in a way that made me feel stronger and wanting to work harder. Although the scale didn’t move much, my clothes fit better and I’m starting to see more muscle definition! I beat some of my personal records and I’m going to keep striving for more! I will continue to sign up for more challenges because the community that Ellen has built is so encouraging and motivating!
