About Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates was invented by Joseph Pilates and is a piece of apparatus which helps you to find length, core strength and muscle engagement within your practice. Just like Pilates this workout will not only strengthen your core, but will also improve, strength, stamina, flexibility and of course posture. This is a great practice which will better your everyday life and wellbeing
A Reformer is a bed-like frame with a flat platform that rolls back and forth on wheels. The platform is called the carriage and is attached on one end by a set of different strength resistance springs. As you progress you can increase/decrease the resistance depending on the exercise to challenge yourself further.
Benefits of Reformer Pilates
Why practice Reformer Pilates with us?
High-intensity but low impact.
Improves posture
Good posture and alignment is a result of a strong core. Regular practice can improve posture. For this exact reason it is said to help people who suffer with back pain.
Strengthens your body
Although the sessions focus on the core strength it is in fact a whole-body workout. It is also very popular for those needed to rehab. Building strong core foundations will result is durability and protection across the whole body.
Whole body workout
Our main goal for every Pilates session is to tone, strengthen and lengthen our bodies through a combination of mobility and stability exercises. The addition of the pushing and pulling against the resistance adds a new element to our workout.
