April 24th, 2025 – Pilates in New York and Miami has entered a new era—one driven not by trends, but by purpose. At the forefront is the Nofar Method, a disciplined yet deeply personal approach created by Nofar Hagag, a former NCAA Division 1 athlete and trained medical professional. Her method, already transforming thousands of bodies across both cities, introduces a rare fusion of Reformer and Cadillac machines in a single, high-intensity group class—an approach largely unheard of in traditional Pilates studios.

The flagship studio in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, opened in 2021, marked the physical manifestation of a philosophy Hagag began developing as early as 2019. With a second location in Tribeca and a newly opened outpost in Miami Beach, the method is quickly scaling a movement rooted in intelligent fitness and intentional connection. More than 25,000 clients in New York alone have moved through her programs—not just to tone, but to reclaim control over how their bodies function and feel.

While most studios reserve the Cadillac for private sessions, the Nofar Method integrates it directly into 50-minute group classes—strategically pairing it with the Reformer to maximize physical impact. The dual-machine structure offers benefits typically segmented across multiple appointments: spinal decompression, deep core activation, strength training, and elongation. This seamless integration challenges every muscle group with precision, delivering results that feel both athletic and therapeutic.

Every instructor is personally trained by Hagag herself, ensuring that her standards of anatomical accuracy and client care are never diluted. The method emphasizes form and focus over flash, creating a space where movement is intentional, and results are measurable.

A Personalized Group Experience That Feels Anything But Generic

At the heart of the Nofar Method is something harder to quantify—but instantly felt. Clients are known by name. Adjustments are specific. Encouragement is personal. Each class channels the energy of a group setting without compromising the individual attention typically reserved for one-on-one sessions. This model has redefined what a boutique fitness class can be: intimate, efficient, and anchored in expert instruction.

Hagag’s own story is inseparable from her brand’s success. Her time as a medical student and her decade of hands-on Pilates work all inform the method’s hybrid approach—scientific yet soulful. It’s this foundation that has helped build not just a loyal clientele, but a wellness movement grounded in trust, results, and community.
