Meet Vivian, this club’s incredible VP External, whom you may occasionally catch playing Infinite Stairs on her phone. She is in her third year of psychology and cannot wait to begin pilates with the girlies! Vivian is quite the Blue Chip fan, as well.

Meet Romina! This Junior Pilates Instructor is in her second year of neuroscience and is a big fan of Blue Chip's dirty iced matcha latte. If she's not napping, then you can catch her spending time outdoors or cozied up reading a book. She can't wait to get creative with the playlists for the classes and hope to have fun with everyone soon!

Hey! I’m Maggie — a Junior Pilates instructor and currently in my second year of Kinesiology. I’m super passionate about movement and love sharing that through Pilates. When I’m not teaching or studying, you’ll probably find me dancing, baking something sweet, planning a trip (or going on a spontaneous one), or just enjoying a good adventure. Can’t wait to keep learning, growing, and helping others feel strong and confident through Pilates!
