BAB NYC Opens First-Ever Hormonal Health Fitness Methodology with Women's Wellness Studio at GYM NYC Brooklyn Flagship

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Sept. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- BAB NYC, a pioneering women's wellness center specializing in hormonal health and fitness training, officially opened this past Saturday at the prestigious GYM NYC Flagship (85 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11202). The groundbreaking studio introduces the fitness industry's first comprehensive training methodology designed specifically for women's hormonal health and life-stage adaptation—addressing needs long overlooked in traditional fitness environments.

Co-founded by Vickiana Arias-Peña and Paola Reyes, BAB NYC positions itself as more than a studio—it's a holistic wellness hub integrating women's physical, mental, and hormonal health. The method empowers women to train intelligently and sustainably by honoring, rather than fighting against, natural hormonal fluctuations.

"Our vision is to redefine women's wellness by designing training that honors, not ignores, the body's natural rhythms," said Vickiana Arias-Peña, co-founder of BAB NYC.
"This isn't just about workouts; it's about teaching women how to move through every stage of life with strength and confidence," added Paola Reyes, co-founder of BAB NYC.

Revolutionary Training Methodology

At BAB NYC, programs are tailored to the physical, chemical, and emotional changes women experience throughout life—from puberty to menopause and beyond. Unlike traditional fitness models, BAB prioritizes women's unique physiology, including the reproductive system and pelvic floor—areas often neglected in mainstream training.

Phase-based workouts align with hormonal rhythms, addressing issues like pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence prevention. Trainers are educated to recognize signs of hormonal changes and adjust intensity, recovery, and movement patterns accordingly. This science-based, personalized approach reduces injury risk, improves adherence, and delivers sustainable results.

"Movement never stops; it simply evolves," states BAB NYC's training philosophy.
