A Practice She Credits Through a Hip Replacement

According to Porizkova's own posts, she discovered Nofar Method in her mid-forties, after competing on Dancing With the Stars, and has continued the practice even after a bilateral hip replacement. She has described Nofar's Pilates as giving her "pretty good abs," easing her backaches, and improving her posture, and has called founder Nofar Hagag her "longtime teacher and friend" in posts about aging and her body.

What the Class Actually Involves

Nofar Method's signature 50-minute class splits time between the Reformer and the Cadillac, equipment more commonly reserved for private sessions, in a format the brand markets as results-driven. The studio runs locations in New York's Flatiron and Tribeca neighborhoods and in Miami Beach, and counts Karlie Kloss and Brooke Shields among its other known clients. Newsweek named Nofar Method one of its Best Boutique Fitness Brands for 2026, with the reader's-choice winners announced in April.

Why It Matters

A 61-year-old public figure crediting a specific studio, by name, repeatedly, and specifically through a major joint replacement, is a more concrete endorsement than most celebrity wellness mentions, and it gives Nofar Method a harder-to-manufacture kind of proof point as it builds out beyond its original New York base.
