Ellena Wong

Ellena Wong has been training in and instructing Pilates since 2009.

With a career in the aerospace engineering industry and a Bachelors of Science in

Mechanical Engineering, she has a unique perspective on movement and the human

body “vehicle”. It was while on her own fitness journey that she fell in love with Pilates

ability to balance, strengthen, and enhance quality of life, resulting in a quest for

knowledge – for herself, and to share.

She earned her first teacher certification at the Pilates Institute of Southern California, at

the conclusion of their year-long teacher training program. Shortly thereafter she

received her Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) certification. Her second certification is with

Polestar Pilates and is presently a mentor for the Polestar Teacher Training at Studio

Pilates, El Segundo.

Always a fitness enthusiast, Ellena’s background includes yoga, aerobics, body

sculpting, bodybuilding, spinning and more, all of which inform her perspective on

Pilates. Her teaching experience includes gyms (ex. Equinox Fitness, South Bay) and

chiropractor offices (ex. The Back Center, Redondo Beach). Her well-rounded

perspective on health and fitness enables her to connect with students from all walks of

life.

The constant in Ellena’s teaching is her desire to empower her students with the skills

and knowledge to accelerate their own journeys to improved fitness and wellbeing – and

have fun doing it.
