Hello

I am Elisa Grosso, Founder of U Turn Fitness.

I started playing volleyball in Italy at the age of 6, and pursued the sport professionally for 19 years, competing in regional and national competitions.

With a degree in Sport Science from Magna Graecia University, I began my career as a Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer & Lifestyle Performance Coach more than 10 years ago. I worked for MIUR (Italian Higher Education) as a physical education teacher.

Since moving to the UK in 2013 I have been working as a Elite Personal Trainer, Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates instructor and corrective exercises specialist, training a wide range of clients - professional and former athletes, celebrities and VIPs in some of the most exclusive gyms across London and around the world.

My love for Fitness and Technology brought me into the world of EMS training - MIHA Bodytec becoming a EMS Head Trainer at Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

And my love for Health led me to join M.I.A.L Healthcare - Italian Doctors in Harley Street, London.

My Story

I am a survivor of domestic abuse. I went through the court system alone - for myself, and for my child.

I studied family law out of survival, not curiosity. I stood up for my rights. For my dignity. For mothers like me. I hit rock bottom and lost everything important to me. But I had to appear strong and stand tall, hiding all my pain while fighting for justice.

My escape became fitness, the gym and volleyball. As an athlete and trainer, movement made sense.

But I wasn’t using it to heal… I was using it to punish.

I trained pushing myself past exhaustion. Until my body started breaking the way my mind already had.

 

That’s when I made my U Turn. I stopped training to hurt. I started training to heal. That moment became the seed of this company.

For years, I worked on building a fitness business I thought could be successful. I kept pushing, chasing the "right" formula. But i didn't realise the success I was looking for was already within me - in my Story, in my experience.

 

I carried my healing alone for too long, hiding behind strength and smiles. But movement gave me clarity, resilience,

and the will to keep going.

Now, I want to pass that on - to anyone who needs a guide, a hand, or a reminder that it's never too late to turn things around. 

 

U Turn exists for anyone who’s ever had to redirect. Anyone who’s gone through hell and decided not to stay there, but to back stronger than ever, turning their lowest moments into victories.

This is U Turn.
