KAREN DICELLO
Hi, I am Karen, owner of Element 26 Wellness. I purchased Full Armor Wellness in February 2023, but I’ve had a passion for health and wellness my entire life. Owning a gym has always been a dream and I’m proud to continue building this community under Element 26 Wellness!
I grew up in Lehigh County, PA where I developed a love for dance. This was a huge part of my life, even through my college years while attending Lock Haven University. After obtaining my bachelor’s in education, I returned home to teach elementary school, obtain my Master’s degree, and also became a cheerleading coach. I truly loved education and I strive to be a life-long learner. Although I loved teaching, I made the difficult decision to leave the education field and help my father build his awning business. Here I learned how to work with people in a different setting and how to run a successful business.
In 2013, I returned to Lock Haven and married my college sweetheart. He has been my biggest supporter in every aspect of my life. None of this would be possible without his love and support. In 2019, I opened a business in Avis, PA where I learned a lot about myself, an entirely new industry, and how to make a once closed business a success.
​
My goal at Element 26 Wellness is to continue building this community where people can transform their lives and feel empowered to become the very best versions of themselves. I believe wellness encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
​
I am a certified group fitness instructor in HIIT, Tabata, Barre and Pound and I have a genuine love for working with people. I am also a Health & Wellness Coach certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York and a life coach. My commitment to making others happy is part of every interaction I make with clients and customers alike. Whether it's leading a fitness class or helping someone with a situation, my goal is to ensure that everyone I encounter leaves feeling better.
​
Element 26 Wellness is not just a business, but a community where people feel valued and heard. I want to inspire you to push your limits and discover your true potential in all areas of your life. Get ready to embark on an incredible fitness and wellness journey at Element 26!
