Olivia Groundwater - Founder and Owner

Welcome to our boutique Reformer Pilates studio in Merivale, proudly established by Olivia in 2020. Originally an accountant, Olivia discovered the transformative benefits of Pilates while living in London in 2017. Her passion for the practice lead to her making a career change, and she and her soon-to-be husband George returned to her hometown of Christchurch, where she opened Grounded Pilates studio to share her love for Pilates.

Since opening the studio, along with welcoming a beautiful daughter, Olivia has cultivated a welcoming, fun community where people are encouraged to challenge themselves and enjoy the number benefits of Pilates. She and her team of enthusiastic, dedicated instructors have created a vibrant space where everyone can thrive and feel at home. Join us and be a part of our growing Pilates community!
