New York Magazine: Best Pilates Class |
Though re:AB was co-owned by model Michele Hicks, this top-notch Pilates studio fosters a surprisingly un-modely atmosphere. Sure, the locker rooms are sprinkled with Mario Badescu skin products (at least in the ones marked "Goddesses" and "Divas"), but there is no attitude and no intimidation factor. Instead, people of all experience levels and body types are welcomed with open, well-muscled arms into this sparkling-clean haven of health.

CitySearch Editorial Review |
CitySearch Editorial Review – by Drew Pisarra
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. |
