Student Employment Positions

Olyvia Serillo

Student Personal Trainer

Hi! I'm Olyvia! I am from New Jersey and am currently in the Occupational Therapy program. I enjoy the gym, hiking, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling. I got into personal training and lifting when I was a sophomore in high school and had a personal trainer for soccer. I fell in love with the process and continued lifting and training independently after that. I then got a job at a private gym where I was able to observe and learn from the personal trainers there. I became very knowledgeable in weightlifting, training as an athlete, and intertwining cardio to maximize results while mitigating injury. I’ve always had the mindset that training isn’t just a commitment but an investment in yourself both physically and mentally. I am very excited to motivate people to make that investment in themselves and aid them in achieving their goals while helping them feel comfortable in the gym.

Evan Jarrell

Student Personal Trainer

Hello, my name is Evan Jarrell. I am from Delaware, and I am an Exercise Science major here at Elizabethtown. In my free time I enjoy the beach, going to the gym, sports, and spending time with my friends and family. I decided to become a personal trainer because my ultimate goal is to attend graduate school for athletic training. My background in sports and weightlifting coupled with my continued education at Elizabethtown allow me to continuously learn useful information for the gym. I have been involved in sports and training for most of my life, and I have seen firsthand that a knowledgeable, encouraging coach can boost others towards their goals. I hope to be able to be that person for others no matter what their goals may be.
