Ellen McTigue

About Ellen

Ellen is originally from Columbus, but has lived in Chicago, New York, and most recently (before moving back to the ‘bus in 2019) in Los Angeles where she worked in Corporate/Hospitality Marketing & Operations for years. When her sister, Caitlin, decided to open Club Pilates in April of 2019, Caitlin approached Ellen about moving back to help her run the studios and instruct. So, though she had never done Pilates prior, Ellen received her comprehensive certification while still living out in LA through Club Pilates and happily moved back a few months later to start teaching and managing. Being plus size, Pilates is one of the only exercise modalities that she has ever felt truly successful with because it gave her confidence in her body she had never experienced before in other workouts - she didn’t leave classes feeling like she couldn’t do a move or like she was competing with the person next to her; she left feeling empowered and stronger every time. It truly is a workout that is body positive and great for all bodies of ages, shapes, and sizes. Outside of Pilates, Ellen is married, with 2 of the cutest kids ever (like, seriously, the cutest… you may have even seen them working in the studios a few times here and there) and one day hopefully a 3rd if she can convince her husband. She enjoys her weekly trips to Target ALONE and watching Ohio State win their games, and she dislikes long lines at Starbucks when she has to be somewhere on time.
