Meet the founder

Kenyatta Jones-Arietta

Founder of RE.FORMER™, IFBB Figure Professional and lifelong student of discipline.

The foundation

Built in competition

Kenyatta built her professional foundation through competitive fitness as an IFBB Figure Professional and a Power Crunch® sponsored athlete. In 2013 she founded R2M Realty, Inc.®, proof that discipline carries across industries.

The turning point

Train smarter, not harder

A partial knee replacement changed her perspective. Instead of chasing maximum intensity, she looked for ways to keep training while protecting her body from excessive wear.

The method

Reformer meets rebounder

She developed a hybrid approach that pairs reformer-based precision training with trampoline rebounding for low-impact cardio, informed by NASA research on rebounding's effectiveness for maintaining fitness.

“A fitness concept built to develop strength, resilience and longevity.”

The bigger vision

More than a studio

Beyond the Nyack studio, Kenyatta designed RE.FORMER to create entrepreneurial opportunity through franchise expansion, so others can build businesses of their own.
