CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: ELLA ROBERTSON
The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.
Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I love cheerleading….with all my heart. I want to be in the gym working on my tumbling, jumps, and stunts 24/7 if I could. I have always pushed myself to be the best I can be.
This year I competed individually in the Cheer Ltd. Nationals At Canam for the first time. It was the first time anyone from my gym had competed in the individual competition. It was am amazing experience to say the least! To be able to compete with the top cheerleaders was such an honor and something I will never forget. I walked away placing 3rd in my division, but I took away so much more. I have even more of a drive to get better. I have more drive to be FIT. I have more drive to compete on a whole new level.
CHEERFIT is helping to reach my dreams of becoming a better athlete, a better teammate, a better motivator, and a better person.
I can’t wait to see what my future in CHEERFIT holds!
– CHEERFIT Ambassador Ella Robertson
ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT AND HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS?
My small community is AMAZING! We have the best gym and coach in the world! Zach Grider encourages all his athletes to not only be the best cheerleader, but also in life. He encourages me everyday. I am very involved in my church youth group each week. I am going on my first mission trip this summer!! I CANNOT wait!
I also help my grand-dad (Poppy) work God’s Food Pantry. I help stock the shelves with food donated from our community to help families in need. I also take time to visit with my 99 year old Grandma Stephens as often as I can. She is truly an inspiration to our family. Since I have younger siblings, I help my mom out around the house. Being a big sister is a lot of work something and definitely keeps me on my toes!
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
This season, I placed 7th in my region High School Swim for 100M Freestyle. Both of my relay teams made it to state as well this year! I am so proud of my team! I place 3rd at Nationals in individual cheer, all while keeping my GPA at 3.8. In my school I was chosen by my peers as Ms.7th grade and was nominated for Homecoming as well.
BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED ME. . .
. . .become a better leader for my cheer squad, my peers, and my community. It has motivated me to being stronger and more FIT.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?
I love getting the encouraging emails and messages. I love the CHEERFIT community that has introduced me. It would be great to meet some of the other Ambassadors in person!! Being a CHEERFIT Ambassador is such as honor. I think of the other Ambassadors as role models for myself as well.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:
Some things I enjoy doing outside of the gym is swimming on my community summer swim team and high school swim team, reading a good book, and I love watching beauty tip videos! I love doing other people’s makeup and learning more how each product works.
I love watching the TV show about the All Star gym called the Sharks on Netflix. My life dream would be to cheer on an All-Star team as long as I could then become a coach. The relationship my coach (Zach Grider) and I have is unbelievable. I talk to him everyday. He is not only my coach but one of my best friends. I respect him and love him. He is just as passionate about cheer as I am and he encourages me everyday!
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
When people think of me, I want them to think of a hard worker that does her best in everything she does. I want to be known as a good Christian that stands up for what she believes in. Growing up in today’s world is tough for kids. I want to inspire kids, to encourage them. Every child has the potential to grow and better themselves. CHEERFIT is one of the ways that will definitely better me…and I want to share that help with others!
