WE BELIEVE IN WELL BEING
Live well. Work well. Be well.
Created by Nathalie Rosenberg, El Living Wellness is a lifestyle.
Much more than just fitness, we’re a home for community. A sanctuary for mind and body. A space for positivity, connection, and endless possibility. A place to stretch your legs — and your limits.
At El Living Wellness, we provide everything you need to live your best life in one place: social and business connections; health and fitness; or simply relaxing and recharging… we’re your home away from home.
Our instructors and programs represent a level of quality and variety typically found in big cities, yet we’re accessible from the small beach town of Sitges. All of our activities are created in collaboration with our international community, and set in an oasis of tranquility and style.
Nathalie Rosenberg
Founder & Director
Sitges has held a special place in my heart since my youth. My journey has taken me from the vibrant city of Milan, to the serenity of Stockholm, passing through the lively streets of London. Yet, summers in this charming Mediterranean town have remained a constant presence in my life.
In the span of two transformative decades, I traveled the globe as a professional dancer, choreographer, event manager, and ambassador for renowned brands like Adidas, Nike, and Lululemon. I had the honour to personally train many international celebrities. Along this path, I acquired diverse fitness certifications, developing a unique philosophy and teaching style that reflects my experiences.
Emerging from the dynamic world of entertainment, I've come to understand the power of dedication and discipline. As the child of two fashion models, I was already well-acquainted with a life on the move. However, as time went on, I craved a deeper sense of belonging and a place to call home.
EL LIVING WELLNESS embodies this aspiration and more. It seamlessly blends Nordic minimalism with Mediterranean warmth, while maintaining a commitment to quality and nurturing a positive mindset. Above all, it serves as a temple for well-being and connection – with oneself and with our multicultural community.
I believe that we have the ability to shape the life we desire and live it to its fullest. Every day, I am grateful to have discovered my true calling. At El Living Wellness, you're in the most capable and caring hands, as we embark on this wellness journey together.
I believe we can create the life we dream of and live it fully!
