Our Front Desk Team

Rylee Adam

Hi, I’m Rylee!

I graduated from the University of Akron with my BSN, and my purpose has always been to care for others and bring a little more joy into the world—whether through nursing or sharing positive energy here at PeaceCore Studios.

You’ll usually find me in the studio teaching upbeat barre classes, managing our creative marketing, or smiling behind the front desk—creating an uplifting, motivating, and welcoming space where everyone can feel their best.

I love taking classes here and being part of a community that focuses on wellness, growth, and connection in both body and mind—all while having a blast! I’m so excited to meet everyone—whether it’s during barre class, through our marketing, or at the front desk!

John Buckner

John is an RYT-200 who has been teaching yoga since 2020. He began his journey in 2014 to help with back pain, but the mat gave him so much more. Starting at nearly 400 lbs, his practice offered him weight loss, self-confidence, and a total transformation.

​John is incredibly passionate about sharing yoga with everyone. Because of his larger stature, he hopes to inspire people to experience the amazing benefits of movement, proving that EVERY BODY IS A YOGA BODY. Beyond the studio, John is working on his Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to continue his mission of helping others.

​Adding more fire to his flow, John is now Barre and Mat Pilates trained! He’s ready to help you grow that booty while you’re working that booty, bringing a fun and focused burn to your workout.

​Come enjoy one of his classes on a Friday afternoon, where you never know what song will play next. Also, stick around for his restorative yoga class on Sunday, where he will slow you down and soothe your soul with calming singing bowls and gentle assists.

Gianna Rubino

Hello! I’m Gianna Rubino.

Movement has always been a meaningful part of my life. After 16 years of competitive dance, I developed a strong appreciation for the connection between movement, strength, and confidence. That passion naturally led me to teaching, where I discovered how rewarding it is to help others feel better in their bodies and reach their personal goals.

I began my journey at PeaceCore working at the front desk, which gave me the opportunity to connect with our community from the very beginning. Over time, I grew into my current roles as a Pilates and Barre Instructor and Client Relations Lead, where I love supporting both new and returning clients. Teaching allows me to combine my love for movement with my desire to encourage and uplift others in a positive and welcoming environment.

I am currently attending Kent State University and pursuing a future career in Pediatric Occupational Therapy. My academic background continues to shape my teaching style, with a focus on mindful movement, proper alignment, and building strength in a safe and supportive way.

My goal in every class is to create an encouraging space where clients feel comfortable, motivated, and confident — no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I truly believe movement should be empowering, accessible, and something you can look forward to.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
