Reformer Pilates
What is it?
Reformer Pilates is a specific type of Pilates that uses a machine called a reformer, and improves:
​
-
Core muscle activation and strength
-
Flexibility
-
Posture
​
Reformer Pilates differs from regular Pilates as you use a machine rather than a mat and your body weight for exercises. A Reformer machine provides resistance to make exercises more challenging.
