While I am a pilates instructor based in the northwest suburbs, my journey began in the city of Chicago at a studio called Elements in Motion. Owned and operated by Vered Arbel, Lead Instructor/Trainer for Stott Pilates, Elements in Motion is the only STOTT PILATES® licensed training center in Illinois.
The studio offers classes for exercise participants with a mission of "increasing the client's body awareness, eliminating muscle imbalances, allowing the client to gain greater range of motion and flexibility, while challenging the mind." A team of 8 instructors with various backgrounds from dance to physical therapy helps Elements in Motion to reach this goal.
In addition to providing excellence in Pilates for participants, Elements in Motion also provides instruction and training for those seeking to become pilates instructors along with continuing education workshops for certified instructors. The mission of the educational arm of the studio is "to educate health and fitness professionals to the highest standards in the fitness industry and promote knowledge among fitness and health professionals." This commitment to educational excellence is evident in the hundreds of instructors who have achieved certification through Elements in Motion and the extensive Stott Pilates continuing education and specialty programs offered throughout the year.
A team of 4 instructor trainers provides education opportunities at Elements In Motion's Chicago location as well as various hosting centers located at the Oakbrook Racquet and Fitness Club, Buffalo Grove Fitness Club and other clubs and studios in the Chicagoland area. Additionally, Elements in Motion is an approved internship site for the University of Illinois at Chicago Kinesiology and Nutrition Department.
