Using the reformer is an excellent way to awaken and strengthen our deep stabiliser muscles. Having these muscles active is important because it affects the way we move, how we breathe, our posture and so much more.
Our reformer sessions are therapeutic focused, meaning we customise the movements to your needs and move at a slower pace, ensuring the correct muscles are working.
Reformer pilates is great for anyone rehabbing from an injury, looking to improve their overall fitness or wanting a low impact form of exercise for example anyone with arthritis or joint issues.

Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates that utilizes a specialized machine called a "Reformer." This equipment consists of a sliding carriage, springs, and pulleys, allowing for a wide range of exercises aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and posture. The resistance provided by the springs can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels.
