Reformer Training 1:1

A PRACTICE OF HEALTH

The Pilates Reformer was invented by Joseph Pilates during the Second World War to rehabilitate German soldiers and has since become popular with a wider fitness community. The main benefits of the Pilates reformer are that it strengthens the core, the back, the gluteals and the thighs and improves flexibility and balance in a controlled way. Many of the exercises on a reformer involve the pushing and or pulling of a carriage or platform which can be adjusted to increase or reduce resistance and or instability in a way that cannot be achieved  
using mat Pilates therefore intensifying your workout. The reformer also allows eccentric training, that is strength training
that uses target muscles to control weight as it moves in a downward motion. This type of training can help build muscle, improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.
