BODYROK Brings Its High-Intensity, Low-Impact Reformer Workout to Coconut Grove

BODYROK, the nationally recognized fitness studio known for its high-intensity, low-impact reformer workouts, opened its first South Florida location in Coconut Grove. Popular in New York and California for its immersive studio experience and results-driven training, BODYROK brings a fresh, highly structured approach to Pilates-inspired fitness to Miami under the leadership of BODYROK South Florida owners and operators Jordi Dalmau, a lifelong Miami native and former Division I football player, and his mother Beatriz Salume, a former Division I tennis player at the University of Miami who remains an elite athlete today.
Every 45-minute class delivers a full-body burn on BODYROK’s signature custom reformer. Translation: serious results, zero wasted time, and a workout that hits hard without wrecking your body. With rotating class styles, boredom is not invited. Add dynamic lighting, trendy playlists and an electric studio vibe, and suddenly working out feels more like a night out.
While the vibe is high-energy, what sets BODYROK apart is its intentionally structured programming designed to deliver variety, clarity and measurable results without confusion or repetition. Each class follows a daily programming theme, with seven distinct workout formats that rotate regularly, including:
Flow – a reverse-training style class focused on control and fluid movement
Buns & Guns – emphasizing the arms and glutes
Obliques & Cheeks – targeting the obliques and glutes
Six-Packs & Backs – focusing on core strength and posterior chain
Core & Cardio – BODYROK’s signature cardio day, incorporating a proprietary jump board
Cardio Sculpt – a faster-paced, cardio-forward format with quicker transitions
Rock Your Body – a challenging full-body workout offered in two variations
The rotation is intentional. By switching class themes daily and constantly rotating the schedule, BODYROK avoids repetitiveness and overtraining, allowing clients to build full-body strength over time while properly recovering muscle groups.
The structure is inspired by athletic training principles, something that resonates with Dalmau and Salume.

For Dalmau, the shift toward low-impact training was personal. After years of high-impact competition, he gravitated toward movement that prioritized strength, mobility, flexibility and injury prevention. BODYROK’s method delivered exactly that, a workout that challenges the body while supporting it long term.
Inclusivity is built into the experience. Instructors cue three options for every movement (a standard execution, an amplified version and a modification), so beginners, seasoned athletes, men, women and older adults can train side by side. Workouts are also displayed on in-studio screens, helping members understand what’s coming next and building familiarity and confidence over time.
The Coconut Grove location feels at home in a neighborhood known for wellness, community and quality of life. Inside, the studio pairs low lights and high energy in the workout room with a warm, design-forward front space that makes the entire experience feel elevated from arrival to departure.
With construction already underway on a second South Florida location in Edgewater, BODYROK’s Miami expansion is just getting started.
