Meet Bailey Woranek—Owner and Instructor at BODYROK Birmingham
When I first met Bailey, the immediate thought that came to my mind was “She’s so much fun!”
Her upbeat spirit is infectious and she’s doing something she never expected: opening a Pilates studio in Birmingham.
Originally from Auburn, she first set her sights on California, where she made plans to start her own event planning business.

Shortly after moving across the country, a friend introduced her to her first BODYROK class, and ever since, she’s been hooked.
“I fell in love with BODYROK because of the challenge and the community. No matter how often I took a class, there was always a challenge.”
The BODYROK community is like no other – we support each other and encourage each other to be the best version of ourselves.”

California to Birmingham
Soon, Bailey gave up on her original goal of becoming an event planner and decided to become a full-time BODYROK instructor, move back to Alabama to be closer to friends and family, and open her own studio.
Why Birmingham?
“When choosing a location we realised there weren’t any studios like this in Birmingham – BODYROK is not your typical Pilates studio.
Pepper Place stood out to me because it has a strong business community that supports each other.”

Not your average workout
What is BODYROK? A hybrid Pilates studio that combines Pilates, cycling and strength training into a high energy, music-driven workout.
If you’ve ever used a Pilates Reformer, you know how amazing it is, but have you ever used a BODYROK Reformer?
For those of you who don’t know, a Pilates reformer is a workout machine that has a platform on wheels that moves up and down as you perform certain movements.
These machines are a key component of a BODYROK workout, adding some cool features to your typical reformer for a powerful workout.
Here are some examples:
- These are only available at BODYROK studios. Yes, they’re that exclusive.
- It also includes a jump board, which is used for more intense cardiovascular exercise.
- It includes 3 sets of ropes, infinite spring adjustments, and bungees for a more personalized workout.
Get fit and cool stuff. (Jacob Blankenship / Bham Now)
We’ve all fallen into the trap of boredom by doing the same workout over and over again.
As I learned about BODYROK, one thing struck me: it focuses on every part of the body.
Not only is this a great way to work more muscle groups and avoid a weight loss plateau, but it also means you’ll never get bored of it.
“Some days I focus more on cardio, and other days I focus more on specific muscle groups like glutes, core and upper body.”

Maybe I really need a full body workout, but this is amazing.
Founding the BODYROK Community in Birmingham
While BODYROK is a great way to get active and healthy, Bailey’s main goal is to create community by hosting social gatherings, outings and community service opportunities.
“The BODYROK community is like no other – we support each other and encourage each other to be the best version of ourselves.”
By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, BODYROK can be a hub where people in Birmingham can connect and inspire each other.”
