The Reformer

What is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is a low-impact, full-body workout performed on a spring-based machine called a reformer. The springs provide adjustable resistance, making exercises accessible for beginners while offering challenge for experienced practitioners.

Unlike mat Pilates, the reformer allows for a wider range of exercises and adjustable resistance levels — building strength, improving posture, and increasing flexibility from your very first class. Read our beginner's guide →
