The reformer is great as it is suitable for all ages, body types and levels of fitness, it can be used in a huge range of ways to benefit strength, flexibility and balance; the majority involving pushing or pulling the platform against the spring resistance and controlling the movement back, or holding it in place, though this can be done standing, sitting, upside down and using all the different elements of the Reformer.  The versatility of the equipment means it can continue to challenge even the most experienced Pilates practitioners; often by holding more of the body off the platform or with the springs on a lighter setting, requiring more strength and engagement. 

 

So whether you’re an athlete an office worker, brand new to exercise, or getting back into it, rehabbing an injury, if you have back, hip, knee or ankle mobility issues, beneficial movement patterns can be performed that will increase overall body strength to fit your needs and goals with the movements and loads tailored exactly to your body and its needs.
