groove house

daydreamer
to business owner
a little rhythm.
a lot of science.
and just enough grit to go from dreamer to doer.
founder. educator. movement visionary.
Hi, I'm Crystal —
founder of Groove House Pilates,
an award-winning boutique studio
in Georgetown and Austin, Texas.
ballet at 6.
professional ballroom dancer and instructor by 18.
that's where I learned discipline, musicality,
and how to teach a body to move.
then anatomy. healthcare. functional movement.
the science behind why bodies do what they do.
before Groove House,
I spent years in healthcare —
leading patient care at a family practice,
with roots in women's health and physical therapy.
I learned the body from the inside out.
now I teach the way I wish I'd been taught:
with precision, purpose, and deep respect
for the body's ability to heal, adapt, and thrive.
Groove House isn’t just a Pilates studio...
it's where movement meets music —
built by a ballroom dancer who believes
rhythm makes everything stronger.
where breath meets science.
where every client feels seen, supported,
and strong from the inside out.
from small-group reformer
to private training
to our in-house certification program,
Groove House Academy —
every offering reflects our signature blend:
biomechanics. mindful sequencing. soul.
outside the studio,
i'm a wife. a mama.
a Jesus-following, matcha-loving
karaoke queen who lives for cozy PJs
and a killer playlist.
movement is my passion.
people are my purpose.
this community is everything.

MY FAVORITE THINGS




the instructors
Pilates pros,
movement specialists,
wellness enthusiasts
...your new bffs
we hire for soul as much as skill.
every instructor here has done the work —
the late-night certifications,
the form obsession,
the playlists that make you actually want to move.
they teach with care, with eyes on you,
with the kind of music
that turns a Tuesday
into something you'll remember.
these aren't just employees.
they're the reason this place feels the way it does.
Kat — all about intentional movement, precision, and that sneaky pilates burn. fun fact: she makes the smallest movements feel like the biggest challenge.
Laura — a blend of strength, flow, and feel-good movement with a little extra spice. fun fact: her sweet energy might fool you, but her classes mean business.
