Reformer Pilates machines are the centrepiece of any serious Pilates studio. The spring-loaded carriage provides adjustable resistance for hundreds of exercises targeting core strength, flexibility, and overall body conditioning.
Wear fitted clothing to avoid getting caught in the springs. Arrive early to your first class so the instructor can adjust the machine to your body. Start with a beginner class to learn proper form before progressing.
