Come train with us
We train to transform both your body and mind. And we teach your body from a health-first perspective that promotes durability—your capacity to create a safe and adaptable foundation, before you go harder, faster, and heavier. This means we prioritize progressive skill development over “working out.” Which is why we love unconventional tools like the Steel Mace that stimulate more neural pathways through less-predictable demand. And why we love bodyweight training because it reveals our imbalances and weaknesses safely. In every session, we incorporate mobility, strength, flexibility and multi-dimensional movement, so you can develop the range of motion and power you need in virtually every sport or activity.
OUR name
Elektren in Lithuanian (Jolie, the Founder’s, ethnic heritage) means power plant and the electric one. In other languages, elektren means “I live for exercise.” We think of “living for exercise” as more than a love for fitness. It’s the action of standing up for what we deserve, individually and collectively.
We align with this name because we’re building a space that generates energy through movement, connection, and flow.
Jordan Ditty
Movement Specialist/ Owner
I am a compassionate and dynamic functional trainer with a unique approach to fitness that transcends the traditional boundaries. With an assessment-based training style, I work with you to find a routine and form of movement that leaves you feeling more powerful and grounded then when you arrived.
I discovered the power of wellness and movement at a young age while participating in competitive sports. At age 12, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Navigating health challenges from a young age, I have faced many obstacles and have always come back to viewing movement as medicine to heal, grow, and be the best version of myself. I am passionate about sharing movement in a mind, body, and soul outlook. In my sessions, I blend various modalities, including functional strength training, yoga, and adaptive exercises, to create a supportive space that not only enhances physical health but also nurtures overall well-being. In my classes I encourage and challenge all levels through creative sequencing and safe alignment. Ultimately, my desire at the end of my classes is for you to walk off your mat aware of your power, potential, and progress.
My husband, Adam and I moved out to southern California from Kansas in 2016 after we got married. We both fell in love with the active outdoor lifestyle. So much so when Adam left the military, we moved up to Monterey in 2019 instead of heading back to the Midwest. After being wrapped up in the community and exploring all the beauty Monterey has to offer, it quickly became home. As a soon to be mother and passionate personal trainer, I am committed to nurturing both my family and my clients toward their best selves. Balancing the joys of starting a family, training individual clients, and leading classes, I find fulfillment in empowering others to achieve their health and wellness goals while cherishing precious moments with my family.
Carrie Ann Belanger
Embodied Pilates & Yoga Wall /Founder of Veza
Hi everyone! I’m Carrie Ann Belanger, the founder of Veza, a Pilates and embodied movement studio. My passion is to empower people to connect with their bodies and their environment, to build an inner strength and resiliency, and to cultivate a vibrant and joyful life. I’ve had the privilege of studying under wise and generous mentors over the last 20+ years who have graciously imparted their wisdom, and have given me the tools that guide me back to myself for the answers to my questions. It is my aspiration to follow in their footsteps, creating and nurturing a space for you to embrace your curiosity, dive deeply into your own exploration, discover your unique path, and listen to the wisdom that resides within you. Life is ever changing and challenging at times, and it is our ability to be soft, strong, receptive and responsive that allows us to flow with whatever life might bring us, that strengthens our resilience. I’m here to be a guide and support you as you find new ways to experience your life in the fullest and most fulfilling way possible. I’m so grateful for the privilege to share my passion for life and movement with you at Elektren! Looking forward to connecting with you!
