Reformer Pilates
Is for every-body. Truly. It is unrivalled in its capacity to work FOR your body. Sophisticated and streamlined in its design and functionality, the reformer apparatus is suitable - and adaptable - for young and mature clients, elite athletes and total beginners.
In essence, it is a raised, cushioned carriage attached to a number of weighted springs and controlled by arm and leg straps. It supports your neck and shoulders; it enables you to exercise safely in all planes of movement. (We have a number of fancy add-ons that make it even more fun).
The reformer apparatus provides both resistance and assistance but doesn’t put any unnecessary strain on the joints. It’s a very, smart way to exercise and counteract the postural challenges of everyday living - including ‘tech neck’, rounded shoulders and the increasingly problematic issue of hip pain as a result of desk work.
The movement options on the reformer are endless - and I love exploring the huge repertoire of exercises with my clients. Every session is bespoke - supporting injury recovery, complementing physique transformations, working specifically on bone health, improving post-operative mobility, boosting professional athletic performance, helping to manage physical imbalances as a result of neurological conditions…and often, clients come along to simply celebrate what their bodies can do: think of it as a grown up playground.
Reformer Pilates has transformed my physical and mental health. I love it for its efficiency and efficacy - while we are not designed to be sedentary, and I do believe movement is a gift, rest is also a discipline I wholeheartedly support.
