The Physicalmind Institute approaches Pilates not just as a fitness regime, but also as a reeducation of the body through movement. In its purest form Pilates is a preventative system that focuses on developing proper body alignment, through a stable engaged core, which allows us to responsibly mobilize through the joints to create the flexibility our body needs to maintain a balanced relationship with the pull of gravity.

Pilates is a preventative system of movement that trains for natural, correct and efficient movement.   The exercises help build bone density, increase joint mobility, improve muscle tone, organ mobility and functioning, as well as improve overall strength and flexibility of the body.   In this comprehensive course, trainers will learn to develop the skills to effectively teach through course lectures, anatomy knowledge & extensive practice hours.

What our trainees are saying

I really enjoyed the training I took at inner elements, Charlotte is a great teacher and I learned even more then I ever anticipated.
I would and have recommended the training to other people i know are interested. Heather B - Pilates Instructor at Sportsplex Tinley Park, IL

My experience at Inner Elements has been outstanding. The Master Instructor/Owner, Charlotte Trux, has an amazing knowledge of Pilates. This combined with her understanding of human anatomy and biomechanics is what made this training fully comprehensible. The information was presented in a clear, concise manner and demonstrated to fully educate the attendees, such as myself, the dynamics of the various exercises.
The curriculum was laid out in a fashion up front so that our training path & expectations were apparent. Fully recommend to those interested in becoming certified or expanding their existing practice!

The quality of instruction at Inner Elements is wonderful. Charlotte is thorough, very knowledgeable, and always works to challenge her students. It is encouraging to see the postural improvements and results in my own body and I am now enjoying sharing my excitement for Pilates with others!
Christine Z - Pilates Teacher at Delnor Health & Wellness Geneva, IL and Inner Elements Pilates Batavia, IL

I went into this training having had some experience with other teaching styles. I gained an immense appreciation for the information I learned under Charlottes teaching and instructing. I love how PMI breaks down the basic principles so you understand how it all fits together. The integration of the principles in every exercise we do makes for a more rounded teacher. I would highly recommend Inner Elements to anyone interested in understanding the basics and how to deal with a diverse needs population.
Deb E - Pilates Teacher at Lifetime Fitness South Jordan, UT

Charlotte Trux is a very good instructor. She really knows how to explain each exercise so that we as an instructor can help our clients do their exercises. I have a four year degree in exercise science and Charlotte was just as good or better than most of my professors! I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in teaching Pilates.

I have received training buy many instructor/trainers and some are better than others. I would like to say to anyone thinking of learning Pilates I would highly recommend training with Charlotte in Batavia. She is always willing to help you to learn and never make you feel like you can't do it. She will work with you as long as you want her to. Her ability to describe the exercise is amazing you will walk away with a deep understanding of each exercise and the ability to teach others.
