WHAT IS reformer pilates?
A Pilates Reformer is a great cross training piece of exercise equipment. It varies from mat based pilates, through the use of a Pilates Reformer, a dynamic piece of Pilates equipment. A reformer traditionally looks like a bed with springs, a sliding carriage, a stable platform, foot bar and ropes with straps. Generally speaking Reformer Pilates aims to improve core stabilisation, peripheral joint stability, balance / coordination, as well as muscular strength and endurance. Pilates Reformers traditionally have 5 springs, and can be used in various combinations, to allow sessions to be catered for patients of all fitness levels.
