This is Pilates, evolved.

Pilates Lab™ is the first Pilates Biohacking™ studio of its kind—fusing classical + contemporary Pilates with functional movement, red light therapy, and nervous system support. We’re not just sculpting bodies—we’re rebuilding resilience. This is where movement meets science™ for people who want to feel strong, grounded, and radically well.

“The definition of biohacking is anything done to improve the qualities and capabilities of a living organism.  I believe Pilates is the original form of biohacking, in terms of keeping your spine flexible/younger than your biological age. When we pair this movement with modern-day proven modalities such as the Theralight 360+ for full-body light therapy, NuCalm for neuroacoustic sound healing and Power Plate precisionwave technology for muscle mass and bone density we have a winning recipe for super human health in mind and body.”

— Shannon Barbaro, Pilates Lab Founder
