In a world where fitness is as much about lifestyle as it is about movement, Nofar Hagag has created an elevated experience that feels as chic and transformative as the cities she calls home.

Karlie Kloss, Emily Ratajkowski, and Brooke Shields are just a few of the names who have gravitated to Hagag’s signature method. It is a practice designed to challenge the body and awaken the mind through precision, athleticism, and mindfulness. At its core, the Nofar Method empowers clients to unlock their full potential and carry that sense of confidence and strength far beyond the studio.

Hagag’s journey began in Petah Tikva, Israel, where she excelled as a competitive water polo player. Her athletic discipline earned her a place on Israel’s National Water Polo team and later led her to serve as a fitness instructor in the Israel Defense Forces. It was there that she earned her Pilates certification at the Wingate Institute, an Olympic training facility that set the tone for her pursuit of excellence.

In 2008, she moved to New York City as a Division I student athlete playing water polo while studying pre-med and psychology. Teaching Pilates began as a way to support herself through school but quickly evolved into a calling. Over the next decade, she developed the Nofar Method, an advanced full-body approach that blends classical Pilates with strength training, cardio, and dynamic choreography.

Her Flatiron and Tribeca studios became coveted destinations for clients seeking precision, intensity and transformation. In Miami Beach, her studio offers the same commitment to excellence infused with the vibrant energy of South Florida’s wellness-focused lifestyle.

“Our Miami clients want more than just a workout,” Hagag says. “They want to feel stronger, more confident and supported in every way. The energy here complements what we built in New York and inspires me every day.”

The Nofar Method reimagines Pilates equipment in innovative ways delivering transformative results for all body types with a focus on safety and body awareness. It is a practice designed to sculpt physiques and create a mindset shift that extends well beyond the walls of the studio.

For Hagag, it is about more than movement. “It is about how you carry yourself after class,” she reflects. “It is about resilience, presence, and embracing your own power.”

Splitting her time between New York and Miami, Hagag remains deeply connected to her clients, teaching classes and inspiring her team of instructors to carry forward her vision. Both cities reflect the duality of her method through New York’s grit and intensity and Miami’s vibrancy and flow. Together, they form the perfect backdrop for a practice that is redefining what it means to transform both body and mind.
