Our Reformer Classes

Joseph Pilates invented and built an amazing array of spring resistance based apparatus to accompany his Method. Each apparatus was designed to help accelerate the process of restoring body functionality and movement.

The Pilates Reformer (originally called The Universal Reformer) can be considered as the centrepiece of Pilates’ brilliant equipment inventions.

The Reformer is probably the most known Pilates apparatus nowadays and it was the most used in Joe’s studio as he endeavoured to reform mankind.Arguably the most versatile Pilates equipment, both in its ability to adjust to any body type and the variety of exercises available, Reformer work is pivotal to the Pilates Body Contrology system.

A bed-like machine the Reformer uses spring resistance to provide resistance and/or assistance to the body as you push or pull a moveable mat that glides along the frame of the Reformer.

The Reformers springs-resistance gives you a concrete tangible experience as you move with or against the resistance.

The Reformer exercise routines are progressive and take you from lying down for Foot-Work and Leg extension to abdominal and arm work, into lying on your front, sitting, kneeling and standing giving you a full-body workout.
Over the years there have been changes, some slight and some significant in the way Reformer look and feel. Nowadays there are many styles and manufacturers of Reformers. In our studio, our Reformers are from Balanced Body ™.

The Reformer guides your body and helps you keep alignment as you work precisely within its grid. Your movement becomes corrective and more efficient.
