Janie Buelow is Founder & Co-Founder of Elev8 Fitness & APX Fitness.
Once a professional photographer, Janie traded her camera for Slow Resistance Training (SRT) when she discovered her true calling: helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier. In 2017, she founded Elev8 Fitness Studio, Inc., introducing SRT to the Philippines and raising the bar in the local fitness scene. Years of non-profit work and 18 months of world travel shaped her adventurous, purpose-driven spirit — fueling her passion to create meaningful impact through movement.
She went on to develop the only doctor-approved pre- and post-natal group fitness program in the Philippines, now the trusted choice for mothers seeking safe, effective workouts before and after pregnancy. As the SRT Senior Master Trainer, Janie mentors the training team, leads foundational and advanced courses, and sets the professional standard for SRT across Asia.
Blending her expertise in movement, teaching, and innovation, Janie designed specialized equipment that enhances the SRT experience — delivering cost-effective solutions and pairing it with premium training programs. Her mission is to make science-backed, results-driven fitness more accessible to anyone ready to thrive in this rapidly growing industry.
Janie is a speaker at Beyond Activ Asia-Pacific in Melbourne, Australia.
