5 Things to Know Before Your First Reformer Class
1. You don’t need a “Pilates body"
No need to get fitter, stronger or more flexible first. That’s exactly what you come for. You just need to show up and start where you are.
2. It might feel unfamiliar at first
The springs, straps and cues can take a minute to get used to. That’s completely normal, you’ll be guided through it, and it clicks quicker than you think.
3. It’s not about how hard it looks
Some of the most effective exercises don’t look impressive at all. The focus is on control, alignment and doing things properly, and that’s where the real work is.
4. Your body won’t feel the same every session
Some days you’ll feel strong and switched on, other days a bit stiff or distracted. Luckily, there is always a modification to choose from.
5. It gets more challenging as you improve
As your technique improves and your body awareness gets keener, the work becomes more precise. You start using the right muscles, in the right way and that’s when it really starts to feel challenging (and effective).
