Oakville's Ellipse Fitness Featured on MTV's "Made"
The fitness center helped a contestant lose weight and get fit for the television show.

Have you ever wanted to change something about yourself? MTV’s reality TV show Made does exactly that. Teenagers work with a team of coaches to help them achieve their deepest desire.
To open its 11th season, MTV enlisted Oakville’s to help Chesterfield resident Angie Tozer. The episode will air Saturday at 3 p.m. on MTV.
Tozer, a senior at Parkway Central High School, wanted to shed a manly persona to become more feminine and fit. She culimates her experience by entering a beauty pageant.

Her coaches included Ms. Missouri 2009 Tamara Osseck and Ellipse personal trainer Anne Basler.
“Angie is a really down-to-earth, hilarious young lady,” said Ann Morrow, owner of Ellipse Fitness. "One of her talents is being a comedian and she’s fantastic.”

Basler worked with Tozer for six weeks over the summer, and Tozer lost two dress sizes in that time.
“It was definitely a whirlwind,” Morrow said. “I think they chose us because they realized we could take some pounds off people.”
An Ellipse workout center in Wisconsin also worked with Kristin Steede during the seventh season of the Biggest Loser in 2009.
Members of Ellipse Fitness plan to watch the episode’s début at Morrow’s house Saturday.
