Reformer Sessions

The Pilates reformer is a machine that offers resistance and assistance, allowing you to take your body to the next level.

The Reformer is a traditional piece of Pilates equipment which looks like a bed with springs, a sliding carriage, ropes and pulleys. The origins of the Reformer date back to the original Pilates studio in New York in the 1920s and was designed by Joseph Pilates himself.  It is used to create resistance.

Whether the objectives are general conditioning, rehabilitation or elite physical performance, the Reformer fits the bill as it enables clients to build strength, increase mobility and so much more.

The resistance and framework it offers gives clients the support and confidence needed to make progressive steps from basic mat work to advanced mat work and beyond. Mind-Body integrity, spinal articulation, precise alignment, muscular endurance and control are just some of the benefits attributed to working with the Reformer.

Reformer Pilates is superior to traditional mat based Pilates as the repertoire of exercises available is greatly increased providing far more variety. The exercises usually work muscles through a large range of motion which is ideal for building and toning muscles as well as increasing stability through the joints.  Reformer Pilates works more areas than mat work because mat work is mostly concentrated on the core whereas the Reformer works the entire body and the more peripheral muscles of the arms and legs.

The reformer session will be designed specifically for you ensuring you work to your body’s ability whilst learning the exercises with proper technique so that you reach your full potential. Come and have fun and try this fabulous piece of equipment.
