Our Founder

Brooke Alexandra is a visionary entrepreneur, educator, and movement leader who founded Reforming Foundations Pilates & Wellness with the mission of helping people live capable, aligned, and empowered in their bodies. What began as a single studio in her garage; has grown into a thriving, multi-location wellness company recognized for its evidence-based approach, community-centered values, and dedication to client transformation.

Building on this success, Brooke established the RF School of Pilates, a comprehensive, 550-hour teacher training program designed to elevate the standards of Pilates education. The school blends deep anatomical knowledge with practical teaching experience, preparing the next generation of instructors to thrive as both movement professionals and community leaders. Brooke’s vision extends beyond Detroit and into a national and global stage, with RF School positioned to become a premier institution for Pilates and human movement education worldwide.

Grounded in her own journey of resilience and growth, Brooke leads with authenticity, curiosity, and an unshakable belief in the power of movement to change lives. Her work reflects a commitment not only to individual transformation but also to reforming the foundations of how people learn, move, and connect to their bodies and communities.
