Something we get asked a lot … Mat Pilates or Reformer?: 👀
Both have incredible benefits when done well! Why choose mat?
✨ It’s you vs. gravity
On the mat, there are no springs helping (or humbling) you. It’s pure strength, control, and body awareness.
✨ Deeper core connection
No moving carriage to distract you — just breath, precision, and those tiny stabilizing muscles doing the real work.
✨ More accessible
All you need is a mat.
✨ Functional strength
Mat Pilates builds control you actually use in real life — standing, walking, lifting, living.
✨ It’s deceptively hard
If you think mat is “easier,” maybe you’re just not doing it right.
Reformer is amazing. But there is the argument that Mat builds the foundation.
