How long have you been in the neighborhood?

We opened our doors on May 6.

Why the West Loop?

We love the vibe of this neighborhood, its craft breweries, and its proximity to our home in Oak Park.

What are your top challenges in growing The Movement Guild?

As a new small business, it’s challenging to get the word out about what we do. You really have to experience what we do here at TMG to fully understand how we can help you to move and stay moving better and smarter.

Why did you join the West Central?

We love meeting people and forging partnerships and embrace the fact that the WCA can help us make and maintain those connections.

What makes The Movement Guild unique?

We think ordinary is boring, and we don’t restrict ourselves with protocols or templates. Our treatments are 100% customized to the individual – utilizing a truly diverse set of skills that we’ve honed over years of studying beyond our respective fields of expertise – and we sincerely care about helping and educating people to move and feel better.

Guilders are lifelong learners, dedicated to the pursuit of both professional and personal knowledge. We are playful seekers that bring positive and uplifting energy. We are excited about working alongside other movement professionals who compliment the respective services we provide and we’re committed to the overall wellness of those we serve.

What gets you up in the morning?

Walking into our beautiful space every morning feels amazing. We are really proud of our space and the team we have created. 

What’s your favorite part of the West Loop?

We are partial to the West Town section because it has become our work home and houses our favorite craft breweries. 

What does the future of The Movement Guild look like?

We will continue to build a community of patients, clients, students, and colleagues that seek us out for their health and movement (re)education and trust us to do the same for their friends and family members. TMG will be a hub for continued education courses for movement professionals as well as special events in which we can partner with neighboring businesses.
