Question 2

Who can attend Refomer Pilates classes?

Accepted Answer

Anyone and everyone! It is a movement system designed to better our everyday life and wellbeing! 
Pilates reformer is a great workout for anyone, at any age and any body shape and size! It's a super way to get a low-impact, yet fully-body workout.   It is especially beneficial for those seeking to achieve core stability and good postural alignment.   Exercises on the reformer can be modified and adjusted to any body, which makes it perfect for those looking to tone-up, rehab from an injury, or train for a particular hobby or sport.

Question 3

Reformers looks a little intimidating...is it?

Accepted Answer

Fear not. Reformers are not a form of medieval torture!    Think of a reformer as single bed-like wooden frame with a moveable platform (called a carriage). The carriage is attached to one end of the reformer by a set of springs. The springs are for assistance and resistance to help achieve proper muscles length and strength in your arms, legs or core - depending on the move and your wellbeing goals.   The springs allow you to easily adjust resistance to the carriage, which will be pushed and pulled along the wooden frame by your own bodyweight and strength. There are also padded shoulder blocks on the carriage that keep you in a stable position, so that you’re not sliding off of the end of the reformer during moves.   Now that this has hopefully eased some of your concerns, why not come to a trial class and try it out a Reformer?

Question 4

What's difference between Reformer vs. Mat Pilates or Mat Equipment Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Reformer Pilates uses a bed-like piece of equipment (called a Reformer) which has a variety of different strength springs that can make exercises harder or easier (depending on what's going on for your body and your wellness goals are).    These springs allow a range of low-strong resistance, so you can isolate Pilates moves more to get better - or more specific - results (i.e. a firmer core, or better flexibility).    For many, it's more of a comprehensive 'all-body' workout than its mat cousin, targeting muscles in a unique way that you just can't obtain from a mat session.   Mat Pilates or Mat Equipment Pilates are (as the names suggests) purely mat-based. That means that you are using your bodyweight and gravity in each move. This works very well for lots of people, however many find combining Reformer with mat Pilates, or just working on Reformer, can get you faster, more tailored results.
