Whether you spend hours behind a laptop, are recovering from an injury, or simply want to move with more strength and ease, reformer pilates supports you along the way.

What can you expect?
The reformer is moving!
Have you ever used a leg press machine? It feels somewhat similar. The difference is that you are not just moving the weight, you are also moving with the carriage as you push off the bar or pull on the ropes.
Lying, sitting or standing on a moving platform can feel uncomfortable at first. It takes time and practice to get used to it. Keep breathing calmly and follow the instructor.
Different to a mat class.
Pilates on a reformer is very different from a mat class. While many principles are the same, you work on a sliding platform and use a spring resistance system.
Mat classes require you to stabilize yourself with your own body weight. If you have limited range of motion, some mat exercises may be difficult, while the reformer can provide support.
On the other hand, an exercise on the mat can be quite challenging but on the reformer it can be extremely challenging.
Reformer classes are often smaller in group size than mat classes, allowing for more personal attention.
Full-body workout.
Pilates on the reformer trains your entire body. You will engage muscles that you may never have felt before. Your core remains active during almost every exercise.
Some exercises focus more on the legs and core, such as barbell exercises. Others, such as Hug-a-Tree with ropes, focus more on the arms and core.
Clothes, towel and grip socks?
Clothes that you can move easily in and feel comfortable in
Grip socks are certainly not mandatory. They can help you slip less quickly. Ultimately, it's all about the right technique.
You don't need to bring a towel unless you like it of course. Although the training is hard, sweating is not a given.
