The El Paso Team
Lavon Egleton | Yoga Instructor
Lavon is a military spouse, runner, yogi, and general sweat enthusiast! She’s run several half marathons and one full. You can also find her in the gym, on a spin bike, or hiking with her hubby & fur-son Roman. Seeking a counterbalance to running and lifting weights, she began practicing yoga about 5 years ago. Her passion for yoga grew as she saw the increased strength and balance, both on and off her mat that her yoga practice brought her. She recently completed the 200 hr yoga teacher training at Surya Yoga in El Paso, TX, and became a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher. She’s eager to share the many benefits yoga can offer active individuals of all ages and stages in life.
Olivia Ham | Instructor
Olivia Ham is an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor with a certification in CPR/AED through The American Red Cross. She is a proud military wife, and mother of two. Olivia is originally from Seattle, Washington. She met her husband while he was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA in 2007. They have since called Fort Benning, GA, and Fort Rucker, AL home, before arriving in El Paso in 2018.
When Olivia arrived in El Paso she was 32 weeks pregnant and was excited to see that there was an active Stroller Strong Moms group. She had watched her sister flourish as both a mother and athlete, at another Stroller Strong Moms location, and couldn’t wait to join! When her daughter was 10 weeks old, Olivia laced up her shoes and attended her first class. She gave it her all and never looked back. This supportive and welcoming group of strong moms was exactly what she needed.
After struggling for years to find a fitness routine that worked for her, it all finally clicked here in El Paso. With the guidance and knowledge of the team (and with her SLAM sisters cheering her on) Olivia achieved health and fitness goals she had only dreamed of. She completed her first half marathon in February of 2020 and can’t wait to run her next race! Olivia’s favorite ways to get her sweat on are HIIT style workouts, heavyweight classes, and running.
When she is not at SLAM you can find Olivia playing with her two daughters, hanging out with her SLAM sisters, drinking coffee, cruising the aisles of Target, and exploring the many beautiful trails in El Paso.

Such an amazing group of mothers who support and encourage each other to do the best they can and then some! I’ve only been here a month and I’m loving it! So happy I found out about such an amazing and life-changing group
My daughter and I attended our first class today and I have to say, I’m upset I waited a whole month! This class was awesome! The workout was great, the instructor and all of the mamas were so welcoming and friendly. I loved every bit of it.
