I am never bored at re:AB because I have learned that Authentic Pilates is an unending learning process involving my body and my mind, and my hope is that by going there I will remain forever young!

The Scene
There's nothing clinical about this rehabilitative studio, despite plenty of therapeutic equipment and staff members who can trace direct lineages to the late Contrology originator. Radiating a warm vibe, the plant-accented Soho space unfolds like a health-minded communal home: The retail foyer branches off to a daisy chain of workout spaces, where dividing walls separate but never fully enclose.
The Workout
A devout follower of Pilates' disciple Romana Kryzanowska, re: AB founder Brooke Siler is well-schooled in the athletic method she preaches so enthusiastically. She can quote chapter and verse from Joseph Pilates' texts and is eager to demonstrate a move to support her fitness ideology. Not afraid to think outside the box, she's also crafted a cardio routine that incorporates the master's teachings while honoring her own passions. That ardent ingenuity has earned her top placement in health magazines time and time again.
