Robbie Cook (he/him)

Pilates, Strength and Conditioning, Yoga, Meditation

Robbie is one of Cadence’s oldest friends! They met in a professional Ballet class in 2007(!). Through Robbie, Cadence was introduced to the studio where she became certified to teach Pilates. Robbie was the senior teachers who oversaw her training! Much of Robbie’s style will be familiar to the Brooklyn Strength community, including having a class filled with humor and play, as Robbie’s teaching style has been influential throughout Cadence’s career.

Robbie has been teaching Pilates since 1998, yoga since 2010, and is a Brooklyn-based, tenured Dance artist working as an Associate Professor at Hofstra University.

During the summer, Robbie teaches at the American Dance Festival at Duke University. (By the power of virtual class participants will travel with Robbie from Brooklyn to Durham and back again this summer!)

Robbie is curious about movement; his practice began with sports and martial arts, eventually extending to dance, Pilates, yoga and the study of Functional Anatomy as it pertains to human movement potential. He has also travelled extensively as a dancer, teacher and choreographer. This summer he will be visiting West Africa to perform with colleagues as part of a summer Contemporary Dance Festival.

Robbie is excited to join the team at Brooklyn Strength. He will be teaching the summer Restorative Pilates and Anti Anxiety Cardio classes. He will be available for private sessions this fall in both Pilates and Strength Training.
