What Exactly Is a Pilates Reformer?
Imagine a bed-like frame with a gliding carriage, a system of springs, straps, and pulleys. That's a reformer! It might look a little complex, but it's an incredible tool designed to both challenge and support your body. The springs provide resistance, helping you to build long, lean muscle, while the straps offer assistance to improve your mobility and control.
Your First Reformer Explore Class
In your first class, you'll be guided through the foundational movements and learn how to use the reformer safely. We will focus on connecting your breath to your movements and increasing your body awareness. There's no pressure here—we move at your pace in a friendly, welcoming environment. Our class size is limited to just four, which means you'll get the personalised attention you need to master the fundamentals and get your form just right!
The Benefits You'll Notice
With regular practice, you'll start to feel a difference both on and off the reformer. You can expect to build incredible core strength and stability, which helps with everything from improving your posture to reducing everyday aches. You'll also gain full-body strength without the bulk, and your flexibility and mobility will see a dramatic improvement.
And forget the images of perfectly bendy bodies doing all sorts of complicated looking movements you see everywhere on Instagram and TikTok. Here we focus on executing each move with control and precision; just as Joseph Pilates intended when he invented his method which he called Contrology (he didn't call it Pilates, the name change came later!)
