Elanna Schwab Bio A Woman of Strength, Elanna Schwab, always knew she had a true passion for fitness. After studying social work in New York, she moved to Tel Aviv, Israel, to pursue her career path. Once there, she changed directions after realizing the potential the first fitness/health club in Israel could have. She traveled throughout the United States researching and learning about state-of-the-art fitness equipment. Her trip to Deland, Florida to meet Arthur Jones (creative genius and inventor of Nautilus) confirmed in her mind that Nautilus was the premier equipment. She then returned to Israel and worked diligently towards importing a line of machines to Tel Aviv. After five years of owning and operating a very successful health club in the Tel Aviv Hilton, she moved back to the Philadelphia area. The saying “everything happens for a reason,” holds to be valid for Elanna as she met her husband, Roger Schwab, in Main Line Nautilus while searching for her new career path. Roger and Elanna currently run the facility now called Main Line Health and Fitness. Elanna was the 4th recipient of the Philadelphia’s “Fit Woman of the Year” award and is a certified personal trainer and certified spinning instructor. Elanna has paddled for seven consecutive years on the Main Line Health & Fitness Dragon Boat team; “Team Intensity.” In 2009, Team Intensity came in first place in the International Philadelphia Dragon Boat Festival.
