Reformer Pilates uses the spring-loaded carriage, straps and footbar to add resistance or support to every movement. The springs let us make an exercise harder for strength or lighter for control, so a first-timer and a regular can share the same class.
What to expect
A short breathing and footwork warm-up, then leg, core and upper-body series on the carriage. Your instructor sets your springs and adjusts your position before each new exercise.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants long, strong muscles without stress on the joints. Start with Reformer Foundations if you have never used the machine.
