Pilates reformer is an exercise for everyone, it can be gentle or it can be intense and everything in between. Importantly, the level of intensity is specifically tailored to the individual’s ability and desire, our focus is on improving health and physical ability for people at all levels of ability.
The exercises involved in Pilates work muscles through a large range of motion which is ideal for building and toning muscles, increasing stability through the joints and improving bone density.
Reformer Pilates works the entire body including peripheral muscles of the arms and legs. Compared to doing Mat or Floor pilates, the Reformer apparatus allows the amount of resistance and tension during an exercise to be regulated. This helps in more optimal strength gains whilst reducing risk of injury.
