Speaking Engagements & Community Wellness Events

Speaking engagements and community wellness events are where Elena Tonietto turns 20+ years of fitness and wellness experience into an hour people actually remember. Whether you’re planning a corporate lunch-and-learn, a community health fair, a conference keynote, or a team-building wellness session, Elena brings warm, practical, science-backed talks to audiences in North Bay and across the Nipissing District — and online to organizations throughout Canada and the USA.

As the founder of NU-U Health & Fitness and inventor of the NU Bar, Elena speaks about healthy aging, functional strength, movement, nutrition, antioxidants, habit-building, and the simple daily choices that keep people feeling strong and vibrant at every stage of life. Her sessions blend real stories, clear takeaways, and — when you want it — gentle movement your group can do right where they’re sitting, no gym clothes required.

Every talk is tailored to your audience, your goals, and your time slot, from a 20-minute spark at a wellness festival to a half-day workplace program. You’ll get an engaging, empowering experience that sends people home with something they can actually use.

Who These Talks Are For

This service is for organizers who want more than a generic presentation. If you run a workplace and want to lift morale and energy, lead a community group focused on healthy aging, plan a wellness festival, or organize a conference on health and lifestyle, Elena’s talks fit the room.

Corporate teams, HR and wellness committees, seniors’ centres, libraries, schools, sports clubs, and event organizers across North Bay and online throughout Canada and the USA all book Elena to inform, energize, and inspire. If your audience ranges from complete beginners to seasoned athletes, that’s welcome — Elena is used to meeting people exactly where they are, whether they’re just starting with beginner-friendly fitness or training for their next race.

What a Session Looks Like

No two events are the same, so every session starts with a conversation about your audience, your goals, and your format. From there, Elena builds a talk that’s equal parts practical and inspiring — clear science translated into simple, doable actions, real stories from two decades in the field, and plenty of warmth.

Popular themes include healthy aging and staying strong after 50, functional strength for everyday life, the fundamentals of nutrition and antioxidants, and building habits that actually stick. Many groups love adding a few minutes of gentle, seated-or-standing movement so people leave having felt the difference, not just heard about it — always optional and at each person’s own comfort level. If your team wants to go deeper afterward, talks pair naturally with ongoing workplace wellness programs or a series on healthy aging.
