Serving the Chicagoland fitness community for 38 years. Manager of The Chicago Sweat Shop, one of Chicago's first aerobic studios, started my love for group exercise before opening my own gym Second Wind. 35 years later I am coaching High School cross country and spending my days educating on environmental and digital wellness.

Environmental wellness stems from pleasant and stimulating environments that support well being. It promotes interaction with the planet and also with our personal, home and work communities. I truly hope that you are open to the conversation.

Digital wellness provides leaders and change makers with tools and resources to foster a more positive digital culture. Digital wellness is a new and ever developing niche in personal, corporate and student well being, it is an exciting time to be a part of the discussion.

Jordyn Elliott is a lifelong athlete who earned her classical pilates certification through a 500+ hour comprehensive training program. She's certified to teach on all pilates apparatus including the reformer, tower, cadillac, wunda and high chairs, barrel, and more.

Jordyn fell in love with pilates a few years after graduating from UC Berkeley where she was a four-year player and senior captain of the women's soccer team. Two ACLs and three surgeries later, Jordyn's soccer career wrapped at the collegiate level, but her love for sports, being active, and challenging herself only continued to grow. Soon after graduation, Jordyn decided to pursue her certification to become a pilates instructor. She's excited to share the challenge of pilates with her community!

I am an avid runner and enjoy long distance running. I have run several half marathons and marathons and hope to run many more. I grew up playing many different sports and have always enjoyed just moving my body. I bring all of my past personal experiences and knowledge to the table. Including my experience with exercising during pregnancy and postpartum. When I am not working or running, I enjoy spending time with my boys.
