About the founder.
founder, Vic
Contrology HQ was founded by Victoria MacLean, a Pilates teacher and wellness coach whose journey bridges both contemporary and classical traditions.
After many years of practicing and teaching contemporary and clinical Pilates, she chose to immerse herself in the classical method, driven by a passion for deeper understanding and authentic practice. She continues to be a student of the work, and is committed to carrying forward the method in its most authentic form so that she can share its transformative benefits with her own students.
​
Before fully dedicating her career to Pilates, Victoria held various senior international roles across Marketing, IT, and Project Management, living and working around the world in Sydney, London, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Cape Town, South Africa, all the while practicing and in the latter part teaching Pilates. After settling back into Rockhampton, she decided to followed her passion full time, and four years ago founded a successful studio, The Pilates Studios at Wellness on William, to bring the benefits of the method to the local community. Building on this experience, she then established Contrology HQ—a dedicated home for Joseph Pilates’ original method, designed for serious, independent practice and the pursuit of mastery.
Victoria’s expertise extends beyond Pilates. She is also a breathwork and ice bath coach, helping people build resilience, self-regulation, and calm under pressure. This combination of disciplines allows her to guide clients in developing not just strength and control, but also mental focus, self regulation, and deep wellbeing.
​
Outside the studio, Victoria trains in Shotokan Karate, resets with an ice bath & sauna and enjoys baking healthy but delicious treats, reflecting the balance of discipline and joy she brings to her teaching.
