She sees competing in the show as an opportunity to challenge herself and to push through her comfort zone.
Elise started her business last year after returning home to the coast from Sydney.
"I am a member of the new generation of women entrepreneurs, called '#bossmamas', who pursue their professional dreams while raising a family.
"I want to encourage other women, and mums, to build strength and confidence, and create new healthy habits that foster stronger relationships, and make them feel happier and more productive."
The show is spearheaded by Joe Naufahu, actor and owner of Auckland's Ludus Magnus gym, who is on the hunt for the country's best undiscovered personal trainer to join his star-studded team of Lanistas in this all-new, action packed, pressure mounting series.
Known for their gladiatorial style of training, their celebrity clientele and their work in the community, Naufahu is giving one opportunity to the right person to join their revolution.
He played professional rugby with Canterbury, Southland and the Glasgow Warriors as well as appearing on the acting scene including Khal Moro in the sixth season of Game of Thrones.
Due to an injury, his rugby career was cut short, and that resulted in a lack of confidence in himself.
However, getting back into fitness, starting in the comfort of his home, salvaged his state of mind.
This led to the creation of Ludus Magnus, so that he can help do the same for others.
The person who proves themselves as the ultimate personal trainer will be given a fully funded scholarship to Fit College, a job with Ludus Magnus as well as a trip to China with the Ludus Magnus Roadshow.
Pick up a trick or two from the fitness junkies or watch the gruelling events unfold happily from your couch on Wednesday nights.
