About Us

Annie Grandmaison is a Balanced Body™ Pilates Educator, studio owner, and movement mentor dedicated to empowering the next generation of Pilates instructors. Originally from Montreal, Canada, Annie’s career began in special events production before joining Cirque du Soleil™ in 2005 as a Stage Manager, touring the globe and working closely with elite acrobats, dancers, and performers. Her passion for movement science and injury prevention was born from firsthand experience—both observing and overcoming injuries—leading her to become a Certified Pilates Instructor in 2015 under Master Trainer Gracie Martinez.

In addition to Pilates, Annie holds a Level 2 certification, as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Reiki Master, and specializes in the Spurgeon Method for breast cancer rehabilitation. She has worked with clients ranging from professional athletes in the NFL, NHL, and MLB to individuals seeking recovery, strength, and sustainable wellness.

As the owner of Commonwealth Pilates in Las Vegas, Annie blends classical Pilates principles with modern movement science, offering both public classes and comprehensive teacher training programs. She is known for her client-centered, embodied cueing style, her commitment to precision and safety, and her ability to make Pilates accessible, inspiring, and transformative.

Today, Annie is on a mission to elevate Pilates education by mentoring aspiring instructors, refining their personal practice, and instilling the confidence to teach with clarity, compassion, and skill—preparing them not only to pass certifications but to thrive in the industry.
