Elevate's mission is to inspire LSU women to find a lifestyle that enables them to be their happiest and healthiest selves. We work to inspire our members to love themselves for who they are, and find a fitness and wellness style that works for them through unique workouts and experiences. We also aim to connect our members with likeminded students looking to do new things and have fun. In the past we've tried pole fitness, kickboxing, all manner of yoga, hip hop classes, and more! First and foremost, the happiness and empowerment of our members is our focus and priority.

Letter from the president
Hello! My name is Samantha and I'm the president of LSU Elevate.
It has been a long road for our exec team to get to this place, where we can share our organization with the girls of LSU. Whether you are a member or a female student considering joining us, we'd like to say welcome to our site, and we hope your Elevate experience is a great one. I have been a part of this club, in one form or another, for my entire college experience. In it I have met some of my best friends, have learned more about my personal health and fitness, and have found the courage to try new things I never would have considered before. Elevate is what you make of it, and sometimes we hear that the club isn't "for everyone." However, our message is for everyone. Our biggest goal is to help our peers to be their happiest and healthiest selves, in a way that works best for them. There is no woman on this earth who doesn't deserve to explore and improve their own fitness and health, in a safe space and on their terms. This means something different for everyone and we recognize that- this is why we try so many different workouts, and try to educate girls on so many important facts and issues.
College is about learning, about finding yourself, and about preparing for your future. And yet so many students don't think to learn about their own abilities, never consider pushing their limits. Women, especially young women, are an untapped resource that could change the world. If we can't start by recognizing our own strength, both physical and mental, how can we strengthen anything else?
This all sounds very serious, but we at Elevate are about fun. That's why we're always trying new things and connecting members so that our girls can make friends and find new hobbies. Over the years I have tried so many ways to stay active, from paddle boarding, to kickboxing, to aerial yoga and everything in between. And most importantly, I've done all this with some amazing women who inspire me, support me, and never cease to make me smile. I hope we can do the same for you.
