What reformer Pilates works on

Balance & body awareness

Practise controlling your position as the carriage moves. Your instructor helps you notice how you place your feet, hips and shoulders, and guides adjustments as you work.

Strength & control

The reformer’s springs provide adjustable resistance. Exercises for your legs, arms and trunk ask you to move steadily and control the carriage, helping you develop strength through regular practice.

Flexibility & mobility

Guided stretches and controlled movements let you practise moving through a comfortable range. Reformer classes combine this mobility work with strength exercises.

Breathing & coordination

Coordinate your breathing with each movement and pay attention to how the exercise feels. Learning this rhythm helps you move with greater control as sequences become more involved.

Providing excellent service to our customers

We offer wide range of holistic Pilates and wellness solutions: Customised programs for every stage of your journey, from core strengthening to total wellness.
