Building Booties And Stoner Fitness Communities With Lifted Lifting Founder Elyse Camille

Elyse Camille is the founder of cannabis fitness app and community Lifted Lifting. Elyse found relief during the stress of the pandemic with fitness. When her friends suggested they get high at the gym, she discovered a whole new love for the leaf and the way it connected her mind with her body for better lifting. She was already posting gym content when a video about her high workouts caught traction. These series of events sparked the idea for Lifted Lifting. In under a year, the community has grown to over 30k on Facebook. Since then she developed a fitness app, and stoner fitness merch, alongside her one-on-one coaching sessions. Elyse is building booties and communities and her journey is an example of embracing your authenticity and the opportunities that come your way.

Host: You ready for the speed round?

Elyse: I think so. Hit me!

Host: Those who follow you on TikTok know you love your gummies. What brand of gummies are in your rotation right now?

Elyse: My favorite ones are the Wana gummies. Anything with CBG is great for pre-workout and they're also vegan.

Host: Share a quote that motivates you.

Elyse: Okay, so this isn't a quote, but my dad said this when I was younger, and he said, “If it doesn't work, whatever you're doing, you can just restart.” Like if you lose all your money, it doesn't matter. You just get to restart. It doesn't even matter how old you are, or where you are in the world. I think since he said that I just became okay with failing.

Host: Share your top two anxiety tips for when you're high at the gym.

Elyse: My first tip is just to play some lower, low-key music. Like don't do the heavy metal or whatever you usually listen to. Low-key music and breathe. Focus on what you're doing. I swear that calms your mind so much. Also, wear a hat. Like, hats just help you kind of hide from everyone and feel more in your zone.

Host: What are your go-to snacks when the munchies hit?

Elyse: Number one is Hunks from Costco. I'm addicted. My second snack, I'm just obsessed with bread, peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon. It's my go-to snack.

Host: Your biggest dream for your career, speak it into existence.

Elyse: I love this! I actually thought about this for a really long time. So my biggest dream for everything in Lifted Lifting, I just want to do what I love to do. Which is making content, talking to the girls, and that kind of thing. In doing that, I want to be able to get other girls to do what they love. Give them the opportunity and help, you know, if some of the girls really like making clothing, help me make clothing, etc. Honestly, I just want everyone to do what they love. That's all.

Host: Where can people find you online and join the Lifted Lifting community?

Elyse: So it's called Lifted Lifting Besties on Facebook. That's the group. Lifted Lifting Official on Instagram. And then you can find me at @ElyseCamilleOfficial on TikTok and Instagram. Shop Lifted Lifting merch on LiftedLifting.com and download the app to join our fitness challenges and get your custom plan.

Host: Thank you so much for being on. See you at the gym!

Elyse: Yeah, exactly! Stay lifted guys!
