I am from Germany and found it at amazon.I got it last week and did it about four times since. Although I have been working out nearly every day before I felt so sore after the first time. Nevertheless I continued of course and feel refreshed and happy afterwards. I love the ballet postures and moves where you have to put in a lot of power. I feel like I am moving more graceful during the day. I find it quite interesting that you are a ballet soloist. One can see that you are a dancer due to your balletic and purposeful moves. Your approach to fitness is so great. I like the way you smile all the time and explain everything so happily. I do not think watching the trainer straining through a workout with a stern face helps the student to do the workout funnily. And that is what it’s about I think. You can implement it into your daily schedule much better without finding excuses if you are looking forward to doing it. And that is what I do when I am doing your ballet conditioning. So thank you very much again for making my days and making me feel stronger and elegant! … if I just were in Santa Monica – I would love to come to your workout class… Love, Jenny Dear Elise,

I have been doing your Shape makeover video religiously for the last 5 months. It has changed my life. About 10 years ago when I was in high school, I lost 100 lbs all by myself. I did it quickly in a year and consequently, it left me thin, but with a great deal of loose skin. I have dealt with low self esteem and extreme body issues my whole life, but because of your video, I feel the best I have ever felt, both physically and emotionally. Though I will never have the body I want, I can feel real change in health and appearance. You are supportive, yet not patronizing. You are skilled, yet not intimidating. I just very much appreciate your help. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy much success in your life and career! Grateful, Nicole Hi Elise,

PLEASE keep me posted on your journey, and i can't wait to see you on BROADWAY someday!!! love & joy elise Katelyn-

I feel strong, energized, and at peace when completing the workout. My question is that I am a type 1 diabetic and working out has become harder as I become a little older. I'm now 33 and find that I tire more easily while it takes much more effort to tone. (I have extreme self-esteem issues because of the cellulite that I can't seem to get rid of.) Anyway, can you recommend (or do you have) any other workouts available that might be able to help? I absolutely love your style of teaching and would gladly purchase your other workouts. I live in Ohio and have found that there aren't as many yoga studios that offer such an intense workout while balancing peace and movement such as yours. Kindest Regards, Heather Hello,
