Pilates in Bluffdale UT
Atomic Pilates and Chiropractic
We built Atomic Pilates and Chiropractic for one reason: we kept meeting women who had spent years taking care of everyone around them — their kids, their husbands, their jobs, their households — and had put themselves last on the list for so long they’d almost forgotten they were on the list at all. Their backs hurt. Their hips hurt. They were tired in a way that sleep didn’t fix. And when they finally decided to do something about it, they didn’t know where to start or whether anyone would actually take the time to understand what they were dealing with. That’s exactly who we built this place for.
We’re Ryan and Kristin Griffeth, and Atomic Pilates and Chiropractic in Bluffdale UT is our answer to a problem we saw over and over: women who needed both real clinical care and a sustainable movement practice, in one place, with people who actually knew them by name. Whether you come to us because something hurts and you want it fixed, or because you’re finally ready to start investing in your own health and strength — you’re in the right place. We’re located in Bluffdale UT, and we serve the communities of Riverton, Herriman, Draper, South Jordan, and the surrounding South Valley area. We’d love to meet you.
About Our Clinic
Ryan Griffeth D.C.
I’m Ryan, and I’ve been a chiropractor for over 16 years. Before I ever opened a practice, I was a competitive runner — I ran steeplechase at the collegiate level, earned All-American honors in cross country, and spent years learning exactly what it takes to push a body hard and what happens when something breaks down. That background changed the way I think about chiropractic care. I’m not interested in seeing you every week indefinitely. I want to understand why you’re hurting, fix the actual problem, and get you strong enough that you don’t need me anymore — or at least not very often. I use a combination of spinal adjustments, spinal decompression, super-pulsed laser therapy, Graston, and targeted soft tissue and movement-based therapies. Every plan I build is specific to what your body actually needs.
Kristin Griffeth
I’m Kristin, and I’m a certified Pilates instructor — and a mom of five. I dealt with back pain on and off for years, in between pregnancies and through the demands of raising a family. I tried a lot of things. What ultimately helped wasn’t any single treatment — it was a combination of movement, chiropractic adjustments, and spinal decompression working together. That experience shaped everything about how I see health and healing. Before opening Atomic with Dr. Ryan, I taught at multiple studios, and what I kept witnessing stayed with me: clients who lit up when someone finally gave them options for their specific condition — a modification, an alternative, a way to do the movement that worked for their body rather than against it. They didn’t need to be fixed or pushed through. They needed to be seen, heard, and given a path that made them feel capable. That’s what I build every class around. I teach in layers because I believe everyone deserves to feel successful in the room — regardless of their fitness level, what their body is dealing with, or where they’re starting from. Watching someone walk out of class standing taller than when they walked in, proud of what their body just did — that’s why I do this.
Together, we’ve created something in Bluffdale that we genuinely believe doesn’t exist anywhere else in South Valley: a place where the chiropractor and the Pilates instructor are in the same building, working from the same philosophy, and equally invested in your outcome. You can start with chiropractic. You can start with Pilates. You can do both. There’s no pressure, no package you have to buy, and no judgment about where you’re starting from. We just want to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Conditions We Help
Low back pain is probably the condition I see most, and also the one that gets mismanaged most often. Most people have been told to rest, stretch, and wait. What actually works is understanding why the disc or joint is under stress in the first place — and addressing that directly. I use spinal decompression, precise adjustments, and soft tissue work to get you out of pain, and then we build the core strength through Pilates to make sure it stays that way.
Why Is Our Approach Different?
The honest answer is that we built Atomic Pilates and Chiropractic because neither of us could find a place like it for our own patients and students. Chiropractic offices often do great clinical work but don’t have a strong answer for what happens after the acute care is done. Pilates studios offer incredible movement training but don’t have someone on staff who can figure out why your hip keeps clicking or why your low back flares up every time you try to do something active. We wanted one place where both of those things lived — and where the people providing them were actually talking to each other.
Here’s what that looks like in practice: when a Pilates member mentions to one of our instructors that her lower back has been bothering her, she knows to send her down the hall to Ryan. When Ryan finishes working with a patient on a disc injury, he’s not sending her home with a sheet of generic exercises — he’s walking her into the Pilates studio because that’s where she’ll build the core stability that keeps the problem from coming back. That coordination is the difference. We’re also not interested in keeping anyone in care longer than they need to be. The people who stay aren’t staying because they have to. They’re staying because Atomic has become their place — their refuge from the noise of daily life, where they see familiar faces, build real friendships, clear their heads, and get stronger in the process. That’s not something you find at a typical chiropractic office or a standard Pilates studio. It’s something we built on purpose.
Services We Offer
Our group classes are built around one thing: making sure every single person in the room feels like the class was made for them. We have ten reformers, we run 23 classes a week, and every session is taught with layered progressions by our team of highly qualified instructors — meaning a beginner and someone who’s been coming for years can be in the same class and both be appropriately challenged. But beyond the workout, what keeps people coming back is what happens in that room. Atomic becomes their community — a place where they know the people next to them, where they feel supported, where they clear their head and build the kind of functional strength that carries them through everything else life demands of them.
