As we grow the X-CEL Team, we realised that we needed to find some people who could become the spokespersons of our Brand. We needed dedicated sports people who had an understanding of fitness and health. These were people who had made X-CEL and health a part of their life journey. We have now assembled our first Ambassadors and we are excited to introduce them to you.
We start with our Founder and Chief Ambassador, Mark McAlone
Mark McAlone, founder of X-CEL Fitness Ltd.
Health and fitness has always been in my blood from an early age taking up martial arts and in my teens finding the love of building a healthy strong physique. When I entered my 20's I realized I wanted to help people on their way to their path to achieving the goals they desired and guiding them through the white noise and confusion in the fitness industry and so I became a personal trainer and a therapist to help people grow and heal physically, mentally and emotionally and through this journey X-CEL Fitness was born.
I have created products at X-CEL Fitness to allow athletes of all stages to be the best that they can be. From Protein Whey Isolate to Vegan Fuel, Ignite Fat Burner to Multi Vitamins. All designed by our team in Enniskillen.

Hi everyone, my name is Leanne McElroy
I am 31 years old. When I’m not at home you can find me at the gym doing what I love the most…lifting weights! I have always been an active, sporty person. From the age of 14 I became heavily involved in GAA and this is where my passion for fitness began.
It wasn’t however, until I started University that I developed the love for strength and conditioning training. This then lead me to where I am now, a fully qualified Fitness professional, a Personal Trainer and a qualified strength and conditioning coach. What makes me unique is my personality, my drive and the energy I bring to my sessions with clients.
You will always see me with a smile and having a giggle (even while doing burpees). If you see me around don’t be shy and say Hi! I am proud to be an ambassador for X-CEL Fitness and Nutrition. The range of products the team have already developed, and products which are in the process of developing are top class and I say that with confidence. From protein powders and supplements, to CBD oil and not to mention the high quality wireless ear pods which get me through every workout are top of the range.
Keep an eye out over the next few months for their brand new, high quality clothing range which I have had the privilege of sampling and absolutely LOVE! If you need any advice on the products that X-cel have on the market then I’ll happily help you with your queries.
For now, go and SMASH your next workout and never, EVER give up!! I’ll leave you with this quote which always resonates with me, “the expert in anything, was once a beginner.” Have a GREAT day!! Leanne
My name is Aneta Bak and I am 42 years old.
I come from Poland but currently live in Scotland for 9 years. I have two daughters and one grandson. I am a lover of active life. For three years I have been exercising regularly, running and cycling. My activity turned into a passion and routine.
Last year I decided to start studying at the College because I felt that I wanted to educate myself and gain new experiences. In the near future, he wants to be a personal trainer and fitness instructor. I love music and dancing so it would be nice to motivate other women to train together.
Next year I want to take part in a bodyfitness competition in the UK, this is my next passion and something that I have been doing for myself for some time. I am a very energetic person, motivated and I like to surprise myself with new achievements.
I am happy to be selected to become an X-CEL Fitness Ambassador.
Hello, my name is Dana Suitor.
Hello, my name is Dana. I am 25 years old and I am a powerlifter! My goal is to lift the heaviest weight that I can for 1 rep in the squat, bench and deadlift.
It's quite funny actually because I avoided these 3 lifts until I went to university. Since joining the gym at 13/14 years old, lifting weights was something that I always enjoyed. However, I had no plan or direction and I had never even heard of powerlifting. It wasn't until 3rd year of university that I was recognised in the gym for my lifting and was approached by another powerlifter who encouraged me to join their club and enter a rookie powerlifting competition with the NIPF.
I made my powerlifting debut in January 2018 and achieved my first ever bronze medal. However, as I am competitive by nature, I obviously wanted more. Therefore, I invested in a Powerlifting coach to work on my form and programming. Soon, I began to notice big improvements and the desire to compete grew more and more.
To date, my achievements with the NIPF in local competitions include 5 gold medals, 1 silver and 2 bronze. I have also broke the Northern Irish bench record for the ladies U23, U72kg class. However, my best achievements include being selected to represent Northern Ireland in Canada at the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championship 2019 (where I achieved bronze medals in bench and deadlift), and in Dover at the Four Nations Powerlifting Championship 2019.
I wouldn't be where I am today without proper nutrition and high quality supplements. Nutrition is vital for sports performance, of any kind. For certain athletes, scientifically proven sports supplements such as caffeine, creatine monohydrate and protein powder have been found to benefit both recovery and performance; sometimes giving you that extra edge in your training and on the platform. Thats why I was happy to become an Ambassador for X-CEL Fitness and represent them to help all athletes X-CEL their potential.
