Your Body Is a Pilates Body: Why You Should Try Reformer Pilates

Ever feel like you need a certain body type to do Pilates? We're here to tell you that's just a myth!

At Kilkenny Pilates, we wholeheartedly believe that every body shape and type can benefit from Pilates. We're all about celebrating what your body can do and helping you feel strong and confident in your own skin. You can leave the "Pilates body" stereotypes you see all over Instagram at the door.

What Benefits Can You Expect to Get From Regular Reformer Classes?

When you join us for a reformer class, you're not just signing up for a workout—you're starting a journey towards a stronger, more connected you. With regular practice, you'll begin to feel some tangible benefits, both on and off the reformer.First, you’ll build a strong foundation of core stability. The reformer's unique spring system forces your body to engage your deep core muscles, leading to improved posture and a feeling of strength that supports you in all your daily movements, from bending down to pick something off the floor, carrying heavy grocery bags or walking long distances through an airport terminal with your hand luggage.

 

You’ll also gain full-body strength minus the bulk. Unlike traditional weightlifting, the reformer works your muscles eccentrically, meaning they lengthen as they contract. This results in long, lean muscles and improved body composition.

Say goodbye to morning stiffness

Regular reformer sessions will significantly increase your flexibility and mobility. By moving your joints through their full range of motion, you’ll increase your body's freedom of movement, reduce stiffness, and gain a new level of body awareness.
