Reformer Sessions and other Pilates Equipment
The reformer is a piece of Pilates resistance equipment which features a gliding carriage, spring system and pullies and its unique design allows up to 500 exercises. Exercises on the Pilates reformer machine establish and develop core stability, postural alignment, while working on peripheral mobility and strength. Exceptional results are achieved quickly as Pilates equipment allows strengthening and lengthening of muscles rather than building bulk, making for an effective stretching and toning workout that doesn't impact joints. Plyometric exercises may also be performed on the Pilates reformer and these are beneficial for athletes as well as rehabilitation clients.
