Reformer Pilates
What is a Reformer?
Ever seen a reformer and thought, “Is this a weird rowing machine, or some kind of medieval contraption?” We get it! Don’t worry—it’s neither. The reformer is actually a fantastic piece of Pilates equipment that’s going to become your new workout bestie.
Originally designed by Joseph Pilates by attaching springs to hospital beds (yep, it started in a hospital!), the reformer uses a sliding carriage, ropes, pulleys, and springs to give you a super-effective full-body workout. Whether you’re totally new to Pilates, recovering from an injury, or looking to up your fitness game, this is the perfect way to build strength and flexibility, all while being kind to your joints. It even helps you nail those exercises you might struggle with on a mat by giving you extra support and resistance. Think of it as your fitness cheerleader!
Why You’ll Love the Reformer
⭐ Whole-Body Workout: You won’t just work your core—expect to target everything from your arms to your legs, all while keeping your body moving in safe, controlled motions. Plus, it’s way easier on your joints than pounding the pavement!
⭐ Small Classes, Personal Attention: Our classes (unlike some huge gym-based Pilates classes) are small enough you’ll get loads of personalised feedback and support. It’s like personal training but with the fun and energy of a group!
⭐ Customizable Resistance: The reformer uses springs for resistance, meaning you can dial it up or down based on how you’re feeling. Need extra support one day? Done. Ready for a challenge the next? Let’s go!
⭐ Super Gentle, Super Effective: This low-impact workout gives you big results, without stressing your joints. Plus, the adjustable springs and pulleys mean that anyone can benefit—whether you’re a complete beginner, a seasoned athlete, or recovering from injury.
⭐ Improves Flexibility & Posture: You’ll leave every class feeling taller, stronger, and more aligned. The reformer helps you increase your range of motion and build strength, without putting unnecessary pressure on your spine or joints.
