Reformer Pilates is a form of exercise that uses a specialised piece of equipment called the
Reformer. It consists of a sliding platform, springs, and straps that provide resistance and
support, allowing for a range of movements aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and
overall body awareness.

Yes! Reformer Pilates is suitable for all fitness levels, including beginners. Instructors can
modify exercises to meet individual capabilities, ensuring a safe and effective workout for
everyone.

Results can vary based on individual goals and commitment, but many people notice
improvements in strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness after just a few sessions.
Consistency is key—aim for at least two to three sessions per week for optimal results.

All necessary equipment is provided, including the Reformer and mats.

Typical Reformer Pilates classes last between 45 to 60 minutes, allowing enough time for a
warm-up, various exercises, and a cool-down.

While both Reformer and mat Pilates focus on core strength and alignment, Reformer Pilates
uses the machine to add resistance and support, making exercises more versatile and
adjustable to individual needs. The Reformer allows for a greater variety of movements and
can accommodate different fitness levels more effectively.

Reformer Pilates offers numerous benefits, including:

​

• Improved core strength and stability

• Enhanced flexibility and range of motion

• Better posture and alignment

• Increased muscle tone and strength

• Rehabilitation from injuries

• Stress relief and mind-body connection

Wear comfortable, fitted clothing that allows for a full range of motion. It’s best to avoid loose
clothing that could get caught in the equipment. Grip socks are often recommended to prevent
slipping on the Reformer.

Many people with injuries can benefit from Reformer Pilates, as it can be adapted to
accommodate various limitations. It’s essential to consult with a qualified instructor or a
healthcare professional to ensure the exercises are safe and suitable for your condition.

In a Reformer Pilates class, you can expect a structured workout that includes a warm-up, a
series of exercises using the Reformer, and a cool-down. Instructors will guide you through
the movements, providing modifications and adjustments as needed to ensure proper form
and technique.
