I'm a mom, wife, fitness fanatic and foodie. I love to work hard and play hard and really LIVE life to the fullest. At age 50, I'm in the best shape of my life. I believe that fitness, like life, should be fun. I love to help women of any age rediscover their passion for life, and become the best they can be!
I have been in the Fitness/Health/Nutrition field for over 14 years. Upon Graduating from Michigan State University I moved out to the West Coast and have been an Athletic Director, K-12 Physical Education teacher, and High School coach for basketball, volleyball and track.
I grew up playing sports and having a love for coaching. I enjoy working out and helping people. I got into training by being trained myself to get into the best shape of my life. I enjoyed the experience so much, that I started pursuing my passion of becoming a Fitness Professional. I have learned from a lot of trainers and coaches over the years. I enjoy seeing people change their lifestyles and adapting a new way of life.
When I moved back to Portland, I had Zoey and wanted to be able to stay home and have a fitness business. I started working out with people personal training and doing bootcamps in parks, a church gym and the middle school cafeteria. I wanted to introduce people to weights, bodyweight exercises and cardio in a different way. Little by little people kept coming and bootcamps grew into more sessions and we added piyo, then metafit, and yoga.
We moved into our awesome facility almost 9 years in March and have loved every minute. It's so nice to have one location where everyone can meet and get so many options.
My passion and mission is to help as many people as I can to achieve a Healthy Lifestyle and to reach their goals- period!
I hope I can motivate you to get off the couch and get moving again! If you live in the Portland area and want to change your life, then give me a call at (916-759-1345).

Jill Scheurer, Metafit Certified, NETA Group Instructor, KB AMPD Certified
I am a mother of three active kids. Growing up I was always active in sports and that love for fitness continues today. My family is also very active in sports and it became difficult to find time for my own physical fitness until I found Zug Elite Training.I have been an active client with Emily Zug for over 4 years. In this time, Emily has restored that love for physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices so much that I felt driven to seek out my own certification and join her team. I hope to bring that love for fitness out in others as I begin this new chapter as a large group instructor.

Celia Ridsdale- Personal Trainer
Hello I'm Celia- soon-to-be wife, dog mom to Ace, Horrocks regular, and certified gym junkie. I’m here to help you reach your goals and feel stronger every day.I’m a Grand Valley State University alumna with a degree in Clinical Exercise Science and a lifelong love for movement. I grew up playing sports and went on to play two years of collegiate basketball. When COVID put a pause on everything—including the various fitness facilities I exercised at —I channeled my energy into building home workouts, and that’s when my passion for training really took off.
Since then, I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals, from kids and adults needing modifications to athletes looking to enhance their performance.
Whether you're just getting started, coming back after a break, or working toward competitive goals, I believe fitness should be accessible, motivating, and, most of all, sustainable.
To me, wellness is about longevity and loving the process.
I’m eager to work with you and support you in reaching your goals. If you're ready to get moving, feel free to reach out—call or text me at 517-749-0879. Let's do this!
