Reformer Pilates

The Reformer is an incredibly versatile and effective piece of exercise equipment. The Reformer is made up of pulleys, springs, straps, cables, and bars. Reformer Pilates can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels, with workouts designed to target one specific area or the whole-body.

The Reformer acts as a support system for the body ensuring safe and effective form while performing the exercises. The Reformer can add or reduce resistance to increase or decrease difficulty, allowing people to safely build strength in specific areas with targeted movements. Dynamic movements performed on the Reformer can also be used to challenge your core and improve stability. This means that the intensity can be varied considerably from one person to the next, and from one session to the next.

Reformer Pilates is highly beneficial for rehabilitation. The controlled movement of the exercises performed on the Reformer allow people with acute injuries to safely work on range of movement and strength, reducing recovery time. Reformer Pilates can also be more comfortable than mat work for some patients due to the supported environment it provides.

The Reformer can also be extremely challenging for non-injured clients and help to build strength, muscle tone and control for improving general fitness and functional performance.
