Reformer Pilates Redlands

What is Reformer Pilates?

What is a Pilates Reformer and how can this strange-looking contraption help you become stronger and fitter?!

The reformer was invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates. It is a bed-like frame with a flat platform on it, called the carriage, which rolls back and forth on wheels within the frame. The carriage is attached to one end of the reformer by a set of springs. These can be used to adjust the level of difficulty of your workout.

We hold regular reformer pilates classes at our Redlands studio.

Why choose a Reformer Pilates Program?

Engaging your core during Reformer Pilates isn't just about getting great abs; it does wonders for your posture too! Your muscles contract to keep you balanced throughout the movements, thus improving your stability and creating better posture and alignment.

While it’s great for all ages, it has proven particularly popular with the more mature as it provides low impact yet effective exercise.

What’s the difference between Mat and Reformer Pilates?

While we are enthusiastic about the benefits of any form of Pilates at our Redlands Pilates studio, Reformer Pilates is superior to mat based Pilates as the repertoire of exercises available is greatly increased, providing far more variety.

Reformer Pilates works more areas than matwork. In mat pilates, the focus is very much on strengthening your core and balance, whereas the reformer works the entire body and more of the peripheral muscles of the arms and legs.
