Caylin Scott, CPI, Studio Owner
Caylin is a Colorado Native who grew up spending summers in Michigan. She and her husband made the move to Rockford in 2021 and have loved every minute of it.
Caylin enjoyed investing in her pilates practice at various studios in Denver. When she moved to Rockford, she was thrilled to find Rockford Pilates Studio. Her personal passion quickly turned into a much bigger vision, and she began her instructor training with Balanced Body. Caylin has earned her Reformer Certification and is actively pursuing comprehensive certification. The studio has become a second home and you will likely find Caylin teaching classes, attending classes, or helping keep things running smoothly as the Studio Owner.
What do you love most about teaching at Rockford Pilates?
What I love most about teaching is the connection. I love watching someone surprise themselves—whether it’s finding strength they didn’t know they had, finally connecting to a movement, or simply leaving class feeling a little better than when they walked in. There’s something really special about moving together, laughing together, and creating a space where people feel comfortable just showing up as they are.
I also genuinely love the people who walk through our doors. Getting to know our clients and being a small part of their day is one of my favorite things about the studio. Pilates may be what brings us together, but the community we’ve created is what makes teaching here so special to me.
Stacy Tarrh, DPT, CPI, PCES, Senior Instructor
Stacy is a Rockford native with a quick smile and a genuine love for others. She has always been fascinated with how the body works and earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Andrews University in 2006. As her understanding of the body increased, her passion for movement did as well. In 2015, she took her first pilates class and immediately knew that combining her knowledge as a physical therapist with the practice of pilates was what she wanted to do. She is now certified through Balanced Body and has been teaching classes and working with private clients for over ten years. Stacy opened Rockford Pilates Studio in January 2022 with the dream of having a place to do more of what she loves, while pouring into her hometown. She then sold the studio in April 2026 to Caylin Scott. The amazing community of people who fill the studio is what make it so special. There’s truly no place like home!
Her goal is to create a fun and welcoming space while offering safe and effective classes that will challenge your whole body. Many of her clients comment on how they feel taller and stronger after each session. With a consistent practice, you will begin to look at your body differently and move more intentionally throughout your day. The benefits will spill over into multiple areas of your life!
“I teach pilates because I want people to enjoy the gift of movement. In each class, I help them connect with their body in a way that builds confidence in who they are and what they can do. It is such a joy to use my training and education to help others become stronger while taking a more proactive role in their own quality of life.” - Stacy

My love language is cooking and feeding my family and friends. Right now I am obsessed with making homemade bolognese. We took a cooking class in Florence and I can’t stop making this dish. Eating with my loved ones is the best.
