Elle Mendiola
Hi, I’m Elle
OWNER + OPERATOR OF 1215 CONSULTING
I’ve spent over three decades in the fitness industry, starting with a company I helped grow from 12 to 650 locations across two countries. Along the way, I didn’t just observe the business—I worked inside it. From member-facing operations to the backend (procurement, facilities, AP/AR and construction TI allowances), I’ve seen what it really takes to scale a commercial gym.
One thing became clear early on: growth creates pressure. And without the right systems in place, that pressure turns into inefficiency, missed opportunities, and strain on your team.
Planning for growth—and building the infrastructure to support it—can’t wait. The best time to put the right processes in place is now—before you add additional locations and the complexity multiplies. Done right, it improves the member experience, supports your staff, and drives stronger financial performance.
I understand that many teams simply don’t have the bandwidth to take on large operational initiatives. That’s where I come in. Fractional help with a founder’s mindset.
Whether it’s building a procurement program, scaling multi-location operations, or conducting a full business review to uncover gaps in your strategy, I will meet you where you are in the operational journey—and help move you forward.
Let’s meet to understand your needs and take steps to bring your solutions to life.
