A clear answer

Who founded Great Falls Pilates?

Ashley Rose, PA-C, MPH, founded Great Falls Pilates. A Great Falls native and former spine-specialized Physician Assistant, she brings a background in dance, clinical care, and comprehensive classical Pilates to her teaching.

01 / THE DETAILS

Ashley Rose, PA-C, MPH.

Ashley grew up in Great Falls and first encountered Pilates through ballet. She studied at the University of Utah, where she initially majored in Ballet, before hip problems and reconstructive surgery changed the direction of her career.

She later earned Physician Assistant and Master of Public Health degrees through George Washington University. At VSI, formerly Virginia Spine Institute, she completed spine-focused training and worked alongside spine surgeons, pain-management physicians, physical therapists, and other care professionals.

Pilates connected those experiences: a dancer’s understanding of movement, a personal history of injury, and a clinical perspective on the spine. She founded Great Falls Pilates to bring that combination into a local movement practice.

Her training includes comprehensive Peak Pilates certification, Kathy Grant Heritage training, clinical BoneFit® instruction, and additional study in postpartum corrective exercise and movement science.
