JIM DIEHL - CSCS - FOUNDER | HEAD COACH

I am the founder and head coach of Ellipse, where we empower dedicated adult athletes to achieve their goals—whether it’s completing your first Ironman, setting a new personal record in lifting, or shedding those last 20 pounds.

At my core, I am a performance coach with extensive experience working with collegiate, national, and Olympic athletes, as well as in educating coaches and developing effective performance systems.

With five years as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at the University of British Columbia (UBC), I led a team that supported over 500 athletes across more than 20 teams. I also served as the head S&C coach for Swimming Canada at the Vancouver Olympic Training Facility, and have collaborated with athletes in various amateur and professional sports organizations.

At Ellipse, our mission is to provide a supportive, process-driven training experience for everyone—from competitive athletes and weekend warriors to those seeking to enhance their health and fitness.

In essence, we deliver top-tier service and results, helping to cultivate elite individuals.
