4 Elements Makes Waves Across the Whitsundays

Staying active in the Whitsundays just got a whole lot more fun, thanks to local mobile fitness business 4 Fitness, which is bringing flexible workouts to both land and water.

Operating locally for the past two years, 4 Fitness is led by owner and personal trainer Ellie Palmero, who has built a loyal following by taking fitness out of the gym and into the community. From living rooms and backyards to resort pools and the Proserpine Pool, Ellie’s approach is all about accessibility, variety, and enjoying movement.

One of the standout offerings is the popular aqua fitness program, welcoming both locals and visitors looking to stay active while soaking up the Whitsundays lifestyle. Held at Whitsunday Resorts and the Proserpine Pool, Ellie runs three aqua fitness sessions each week, along with a crowd-favourite deep-water running class all available for just $10 per session, with no bookings required.

If you’ve never tried aqua fitness, it’s an effective workout. Using specialised aquatic dumbbells, noodles, and aqua belts, for clients to enjoy a full-body session that builds strength and fitness while being kind to the joints.

“The water gives you great resistance without the impact,” Ellie said.

“You can take it easy or really push yourself everyone works at their own pace, and all fitness levels are welcome.”

The deep-water running sessions are making a splash of their own, using aqua belts in the deep end of the pool to fire up core muscles and deliver a challenging workout that goes well beyond simple running motions.

No two classes are ever the same, with varied playlists and rotating focuses on legs, arms, core, cardio, and stretching keeping things fresh rain or shine.

For those who prefer one on one support, 4 Fitness also offers mobile personal training, meeting clients at home or in their preferred location. Programs are fully tailored, whether the goal is strength, weight loss, general fitness, or living a better lifestyle.

“For people who don’t feel confident walking into a gym, this is a great alternative,” Ellie said.

“It’s about helping people move more, feel better, and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.”

With strong local support and a growing mix of residents and travellers joining in, 4 Elements Fitness is continuing to build momentum proving that fitness in the Whitsundays can be flexible, welcoming, and a whole lot of fun.
