Clients are taught how to use their abdominals properly in order to get the benefits of Reformer.

Every exercise helps challenge your abs and in turn strengthens the lower back.

There are two different pelvic positions and these help you to assess your abs and your posture.

No shoes are used, to help us get better hip, knee and ankle alignment in leg work. Better ankle strength is achieved and improved leg endurance.

The feet in straps exercises will help strengthen underutilised muscles, such as hips, inner thighs and glutes (buttock muscles). They also lengthen leg muscles and strengthen the lower back.

The repertoire also has plenty of upper body exercises, which are great for helping weak shoulders and arms. By strengthening the deeper muscles in the shoulder (rotator cuff), we can teach clients to gain control of their neck, upper back and shoulder blades. Many people suffer with neck pain and are not strong in their shoulders.

The Reformer has a unique way of allowing you to work in strength zones without experiencing the pain of lactic acid build up in muscles yet still get strong in the true sense.

It also helps to work muscles which are not directly used in that sport but are certainly need for prehab (preventative rehab), continued stability and to keep the in the game, on the bike or running strong.

Reformer workouts leave you feeling lengthened and strong without the bulk. If we stretch without strengthening our muscles we leave ourselves open to weaker muscles. Pilates looks at the strength length relationship within our bodies and gets us injury free and feeling like we can move free and easy.
