Pilates Instructor

Ashley MacKinnon

As a comprehensively certified Balanced Body instructor, I teach with a precision‑driven, classical backbone—but I love pairing it with creative sequencing and a sneaky burn that keeps things fresh. I’m passionate about helping students build strong fundamentals that unlock deeper, more expressive movement. My two years living in Mallorca shaped my sense of curiosity, connection, and the grounded energy I bring to class. My approach welcomes traditionalists and modern movers alike, creating a space where everyone can grow.

Founder, Pilates Enthusiast

Vicki Buck

With over 20 years of experience teaching fitness and a passion for Pilates for the past 15+, I’ve seen firsthand the power of healing through movement. My training through Balanced Body Pilates, combined with continuing education from master trainers around the world — including Seoul, Shanghai, San Francisco, Toronto, and Atlanta — has shaped my approach to teaching and building this community. Though I currently reside in Wisconsin with my husband and our two young boys, I founded The Pilates Grüp with the intention of sharing the power of Pilates with all. Our studio was created to be welcoming, approachable, and focused on quality — with small class sizes and personalized attention, so every client feels seen, supported, and empowered.
