Tenille Hoogland - Head Coach
Tenille Hoogland's mission is to transform how female athletes experience sport and reach athletic excellence. Her athletic journey spans from being an Olympic hopeful in synchronized swimming to being a professional triathlete. She represented Canada at International Triathlon Union (ITU) long course and IRONMAN World Championships several times and won titles in short and long course events throughout her career. Professionally, Tenille was a Senior Planner at the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Federal Secretariat, managed numerous IRONMAN events, held a Management position at Triathlon Canada and was recognized by her federation and Canadian Olympic Committee as a Future Sport Leader.
Her breadth of experience and education in nutrition and female physiology led her to create the Mindset, Nutrition, Training and Recovery Integrated Training System (MNTR-ITS). This accessible step-by-step evidence-based and science driven system empowers female athletes to establish a foundation of health for which excellence, performance and resilience can be achieved. It works through the physiological life stages of the female athlete, from adolescents to post-menopause.
Through her company Tenille Hoogland Applied Athletics, Tenille coaches female athletes in perimenopause and beyond. She owns the Element Race Team, an amateur women’s cycling team whose mission is to get more women on the start lines at cycling events. Tenille is now keeping fit and strong by teaching spin sessions online with her athletes, joining the Element Race Team on the start line at every chance and by chasing her two young sons on bikes and foot!
Her motto: Health is the foundation of performance.
Her favorite quote: “Between the stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our responses. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” Viktor Frankl 1964

Carolyn Ellis is a lover of food and all things that involve food! From a very young age she loved being in the kitchen, making different recipes, playing with food and of course, eating food. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition at Western University. Her love of cooking led her to the prestigious Stratford Chef's School. This opened up her world to technique, new flavours, and respecting ingredients. Carolyn has since cooked in several restaurants in Canada as well as for private catering in France and the US. Her other passions are sport and health. To combine these passions she completed the Dr. Stacy Sims women are not small men course. Carolyn furthered her education to delve into the healing nature of food and is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. She currently owns and operates her own catering business. Working with Element Sports Coaching provides another outlet to support others in achieving their greatest nutritional potential and understanding the power that food has to keep us healthy and make us stronger.
