Ellisa Thompson

Fitness Instructor

Ellisa Thompson comes to Brimstone with a deep background in movement and fitness. For over a decade, Ellisa has earned certifications and taught movement classes in modalities ranging from barre, Pilates, yoga and strength training to hip hop and reggaeton dance cardio to Shake Rising Transformational Movement Practice. 

Originally from Hatteras Island, a small barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, Ellisa is a beach girl at heart who loves the water and movement on it. She taught fitness classes on the island of Kauai for five years before she returned home to Hatteras Island to open her studio. 

Now, Ellisa’s excited to explore the water activities that Hood River has to offer, branch out into the mountains and to connect with the Gorge community. She can’t wait to meet and move with the Brimstone community, to help folks build strength, improve mobility and balance, and develop a deeper connection with their bodies through movement . . . and hopefully have a little fun in the process.
