My name is Illysa Hom and I focus on helping working professionals and busy moms find balance, reduce stress, build better sleep, enjoy exercise, improve mental health and nutrition habits, prioritize your overall health and improve your relationships with yourself and others.

My personal training expertise is in womens toning, weight loss, strength building, stress management, positive habits. My holistic wellness coaching approach is that everyone has unique bioindividual needs, lifestyles and goals. What works for someone can be toxic and unhealthy for another person. Holistic means we will work together to identify how all areas of your life are connected to your overall sense of wellbeing. Is your relationship causing you to stress eat?

I believe everyone has unique needs, bio individuality and timelines. I will not encourage calorie counting or obsessing over every food you eat unless you need rapid results. Instead, I want to inspire you to find balance, joy and nourishment from your meals and snacks and exercise. Every coaching and PT package comes with a complimentary meal plan written by a registered dietitian. I want to inspire you find ways to be physically active that you look forward to and can sustain. I encourage you to practice positive self talk to help keep you in track. I am here to support you through career changes, food addiction, building positive habits, relationship challenges and more!

Illysa was excellent during my first session with her. She is a caring coach and a great listener and I felt comfortable opening up much more than I expected to which allowed us to cover some big topics. I left the first session with 3-4 significant takeaways and 3 action items to support moving me closer to my goals. Highly recommend!

Ilysa provides a customized workout that matches the personal needs and individual concerns. She is very professional in her communication of appointments and training schedule changes, if any.

I’ve been training with Illysa for weight training and Zumba, and it’s been an incredible experience. She’s extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and knows how to tailor each session to suit my fitness goals. I really appreciate her punctuality and the flexibility she offers with timings, which makes it so much easier to stay consistent. Her energy during Zumba is infectious, and her guidance during strength training is spot-on. I’ve already started seeing great results and feel stronger and more motivated every day. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring personal trainer!
