You’ve seen the sleek machines, the toned physiques, and the promises of a super strong core. But is Reformer Pilates really worth all the hype? With the opening of our brand new studio in New York featuring Reformers and Wall Towers, we want to share all the benefits of working out with equipment.
After five years of virtual workouts (and some questionable internet connections), we’re thrilled to bring the magic of the Reformer into your physical realm. Think of it as Pilates 2.0, where the mat gets upgraded with springs, pulleys, and a sliding carriage. It’s like a playground for your muscles to help you lengthen, strengthen, and find that elusive core engagement.
We know. The Reformer looks intimidating. All those straps and springs can be reminiscent of a medieval torture contraption. But the Reformer is a beautifully designed device that provides resistance and assistance. The springs can help you perform exercises you might struggle with on the mat, making it accessible for everyone— from Pilates newbies to seasoned pros. It’s even helpful for those recovering from injuries.
Keep reading to discover why people are obsessed with Reformer Pilates and how you can get started, too!
Engage your core
The Reformer targets your core, engaging muscles you didn’t even know existed. The result? A flatter stomach and improved posture. Say goodbye to slumped shoulders and hello to standing tall and looking toned!
Full-body workout
It’s not just about the abs. The Reformer works your entire body, lengthening and strengthening muscles from head to toe. You’ll feel taller, leaner, and more aligned.
Low-impact, high-intensity
Want a workout that’s gentle on your joints but still packs a punch? The resistance from the Reformer’s springs allows you to build strength without adding too much stress to your body.
Always check with your doctor before starting a new fitness routine, but many health professionals approve of this low-impact form of exercise that offers active support post-injury.
Mind-body connection: precision and control for mental clarity
Pilates is all about precision and control. The Reformer helps refine your movements and deepen your connection to your body. You’ll leave feeling physically strengthened and mentally refreshed.
Amp up the fun factor
