Meet the Salt Pilates Team

Rebekah is the founder of Salt Pilates. With a Master’s degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology and an extensive dance background, movement has been part of her life for decades. She performed professionally as an NFL cheerleader for both the San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers before discovering Pilates and becoming certified in Orange County, California.

After relocating to Park City, Rebekah founded Salt Pilates with a vision to create something different — a contemporary Reformer Pilates experience that was challenging, intentional and built around consistent, high-quality instruction.

Over the years, that vision developed into the Salt method: Strength, Alignment, Lengthen and Tone. Rebekah created Salt’s instructor training program to ensure that every instructor understands the method, the purpose behind the movement and the standard clients can expect when they walk into a Salt Pilates class.

Today, Rebekah continues to shape Salt’s programming and instructor development while building a studio community centered around strength, confidence and helping clients leave feeling stronger than when they walked in. 

Stephanie completed the Salt Pilates Instructor Training Program in June 2019. Since completing her certification, she has been an important part of the Salt Pilates team. Stephanie brings strength, energy, and a thoughtful approach to her classes, encouraging clients to challenge themselves while maintaining proper form and control. She enjoys helping clients build confidence in their movement and discover the strength and benefits that come from a consistent Pilates practice.

Maxine completed the Salt Pilates Instructor Training Program in 2025. Originally from Philadelphia, she moved to Park City to pursue alpine skiing. After three ACL injuries during consecutive seasons, Maxine transitioned to high-level rugby, competing with an international rugby academy in New Zealand, within the U.S. developmental pathway and for the UCLA Women’s team.

After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Geography, Maxine returned to Park City and discovered the Salt Pilates community. As a lifelong athlete who experienced postural issues and hypermobility, she found Pilates helped her develop greater strength, stability and control.

Experiencing the benefits of the Salt method firsthand inspired Maxine to become an instructor. She brings her athletic background and passion for movement to her classes, helping clients challenge themselves, build strength and move with greater confidence.

Jessica completed the Salt Pilates Instructor Training Program in 2020. After a wildlife-related car accident left her looking for a way to rebuild strength and improve the alignment of her spine, she discovered Reformer Pilates.

What began as part of her recovery quickly became a passion. Jessica experienced improvements in strength, posture, flexibility, focus and endurance, while also seeing the benefits carry over into the other athletic activities she enjoys.

Her experience with Pilates and connection to the Salt community ultimately inspired her to become an instructor. Jessica brings energy and enthusiasm to her classes and enjoys helping clients challenge themselves, build strength and experience the benefits of consistent movement. A Utah native, she enjoys biking, hiking, skiing, traveling and spending time outdoors.

Astin completed the Salt Pilates Instructor Training Program in 2019. Originally from Montana, she grew up with a love of sports, particularly basketball, before moving to Park City with her husband in 2005.

Astin discovered Pilates after the birth of her second child and was drawn to both the challenge of the workout and the way her body responded to consistent practice. After finding Salt Pilates, she became a regular client and an active part of the studio community before deciding to become an instructor.

Astin brings her appreciation for movement and the Salt method into her classes, helping clients build strength, control and confidence. Outside the studio, she enjoys creating handmade jewelry and supporting her daughters in skiing and soccer.

Lucy completed the Salt Pilates Instructor Training Program in 2023. She holds a Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver and brings an extensive athletic background as a former elite figure skater on the United States Figure Skating Team. She also spent more than a decade coaching competitive figure skating and working as a Mental Skills Trainer with athletes and performers.

While pregnant with her son, Lucy was diagnosed with leukemia and stepped away from her professional career to focus on treatment and recovery. Following chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, she achieved full remission. Her recovery journey eventually led her to strength training and Pilates, which became an important part of rebuilding her strength and overall well-being.

Lucy brings her personal experience, athletic background and years of coaching to her classes at Salt. She is passionate about helping clients build strength, confidence and greater trust in their bodies while working toward their individual goals.
