Bio:
My name is Elenoa McCabe, I also go by Noa, and I am an online fitness coach. I coach both bodybuilding competitors and driven lifestyle athletes. I have competed for 6 years now, and I earned my IFBB bikini pro card in 2021 at NPC Nationals. I was raised in Long Beach, CA and I played water polo and swam for my high school team. Both of those sports taught me how to compete as an individual, but also how to lead a team. When you swim, its just you in the lane, but your effort, determination and ultimately the results contribute to the overall success of the team (not unlike bodybuilding!). In college I began going to the gym after a rough break up and I discovered how strong I could truly be. I competed my senior year of college in an NPC bikini competition and I have never looked back. I pride myself on my hard work ethic and resilient mindset that was developed through the challenge of competing. While competing isnt for everyone, I believe fitness is. I started coaching to make a positive impact not only on hard working individuals like myself, but also to positively change the bodybuilding and competing industry. I am incredibly grateful to be where I am today helping others transform not only their physiques but also their lives. 

 

Experience: 
I started online coaching in September of 2021 and I am open to taking on anyone who needs guidance in their fitness journeys. As I have grown as a coach I have coached bikini, wellness, and men's physique competitors. Many of my athletes are in improvement season and I have only put my men's physique competitor onstage to this date. I believe that competing is an extreme sport and I refuse to put anyone onstage who isn't serious about winning. Competing is not a "bucket list" item to me - it is a sport that requires so much sacrifice and discipline and it would be disrespectful of my athlete's time, effort, and money to put them onstage with a less than competitive physique. I love coaching because it's a bit like teaching. I love to pass on my knowledge that I've acquired through both experience and continued education.

​

Education and qualifications: 
As far as formal education I earned a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and since graduating in 2018, I have turned my passion psychology into something that I incorporate for my athletes. I truly believe mental health is just as important. I am NASM CPT and nutrition certified. I have also gone through J3U, and I continue to pursue deeply specific bodybuilding education, as well as general fitness. I have completed Justin Mihaly's mentorship which is a huge resource for everything coaching - from macronutrients, to hormones, to PEDs, and everything in between that you could think of. I continue my own education by listening to podcasts by coaches who have similar values to my own. Some examples being John Jewett, Justin Mihaly, Mark Tomanek, Matt Jansen, Paul Revelia, and Celeste Rains-Turk (she not only has her IFBB pro interview podcast, but also runs her own business coaching food relationships from a lens of a practitioner). I've read the Women's Book Vol. 1 by Lyle MacDonald which I highly recommend to anyone and everyone as a comprehensive source of nutrition, fat loss, and muscle gain for women.

Client Speciality: 
Bodybuilders and lifestyle athletes 
My client niche is anyone who is driven. I love coaching competitors, but I also love being able to help guide general lifestyle athletes as well. My specialty is bikini and bikini posing but I would not say that I am against coaching any certain division. I truly love the sport and each division has something special in it. Being able to coach a wide range of competitors is something I look forward to mastering.
