What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates. This type of Pilates involves using a bed-like frame with weighted spring combinations to provide resistance as you move back and forth. This allows for the targeting of small muscle groups, leading to longer and leaner muscles. The machine also allows for a greater variety of movements and exercises compared to mat Pilates.
Reformer Pilates classes typically involve a range of exercises, using positions such as laying down, sitting and standing on the machine, as well as pushing the foot bar and pulling the straps. The movements are slow and controlled, engaging the entire body to improve muscle tone, strength and posture. Smaller muscle groups are isolated and deep core stabilizer muscles are engaged.
