Reformer Pilates
During World War I whilst working as an orderly in a hospital, Joseph Pilates helped bedbound patients to rehabilitate and strengthen their muscles against resistance by attaching springs to their hospital beds. This lead to the development of the Reformer.
More recently made famous by celebrities and sports persons such as David Beckham, Kate Hudson, Andy Murray and Cameron Diaz, the Reformer is a popular choice of equipment not only for post injury/surgery rehabilitation and for pregnancy, but also for general fitness and strength. It gives all of the usual benefits of Pilates such as core and overall body strength, flexibility and balance, but brings new challenges and variation.
Different levels of resistance can be added to make the exercises more physically challenging. For those who are less able, the Reformer can provide extra support to the body to assist with the exercises. Our Reformers come with a variety of settings which are easily adjusted to accommodate each individual's body proportions and to suit their physical and technical ability.
1:1 and 2:1 Pilates Reformer sessions are currently available to book with Neil on Mon/Wed/Thur/Fri afternoons and Saturday mornings.
