Reformer Pilates
What is Reformer and how is it different from Mat Pilates?
yogahub’s Reformer Pilates classes are a full body workout that combine traditional and contemporary Pilates, with the strengthening and toning aspects of strength training. Our dynamic classes are performed on a spring resistance apparatus called a Reformer Bed. With the combination of adjustable spring resistance and a sliding platform, the Reformer can create resistance or instability (or both) to make exercises easier or harder where a mat cannot.Â
Do I need to be fit to attend Reformer Pilates?
Our classes are inclusive, so everyone is welcome. With small group classes (up to a maximum of 14), our trainers can modify exercises to accommodate each individualâs ability, allowing you to work at your own pace.
