The Alchemy365 Community is Growing: Meet Coach Anna!

By Anna Elvestrom

Hi everyone! My name is Anna Elvestrom, I am the new Assistant Studio Manager for Alchemy 365 in Minnesota. I was born and raised here in the Twin Cities and am thrilled to be continuing my journey in my home state with this amazing company. A fun fact about myself I like to share is I was born on 7/2, at 7:02am, weighing 7lbs 2 oz. Needless to say? 7 and 2 are my lucky numbers! 

I was introduced to Alchemy through Alex Zauner,  General Manager of the Highland Park studio. She brought me in for a couple drop-in classes and I absolutely fell in love with the community and how alive I felt after being surrounded by a group of athletes grinding through the workouts together. Immediately, my focus became, how can I work for this incredible company and help others to have this feeling?! Fast forward about a year and a half ? I applied ?  and was lucky enough to be hired on as the ASM in Minnesota. 

I am beyond excited to help others in this community achieve their goals, be it in fitness, or life in general. One of the unique traits of Alchemy I love the most is how we are a community who care about and support one another in all areas of life. We are all here to cheer each other on, as we work towards our goals and pursuing our personal legends.

A couple of my personal in-studio PYL goals are to achieve my full TTB and pull-up. Outside of the studio, I would love to train for and complete a half marathon in the next couple of years. Another passion of mine is holistic nutrition/food as medicine, and see myself pursuing a career as a nutritionist as well as a fitness coach. 

Come see me in the studio at Edina, Highland Park, or the North Loop. I can?t wait to meet you all, and look forward to being part of this incredible community.

 

Anna Elvestrom is the Assistant Studio Manager of the MN Alchemy 365 locations. When she isn?t coaching in-studio, she loves to spend time with family and friends being active outdoors, cooking, and traveling to new places.
