If you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about with Pilates Reformer, there’s a very good reason it has become so popular!

I absolutely love working on the Reformer. The machine with its springs, straps and moving carriage can look a little intimidating at first, it really isn’t. One of the best things about Reformer is just how adaptable it can be. Plus these are one to one sessions in a private studio.

So, what exactly is Fitness Pilates Reformer?

Fitness Pilates Reformer combines Pilates principles such as control, posture, alignment and core strength with modern fitness training.

Using the moving carriage, springs and straps, exercises can be performed lying, sitting, kneeling or standing. The resistance can be adjusted too, making exercises more supportive or more challenging depending on you.

Why is Reformer so good?

Reformer gives you a low-impact but incredibly effective full-body workout. It can help improve core strength, posture, flexibility, mobility and balance, while strengthening your legs, glutes, back, shoulders and arms.

One of the things I particularly love about Reformer is that it can be adapted for different ages, abilities and fitness levels. It can also be a great way to exercise for people with more limited mobility, as many exercises can be modified and performed in supported positions.

And don’t be fooled by all that lying down – Reformer can certainly make you work!

Never tried Reformer before?

That’s absolutely fine. You don’t need any previous Pilates or Reformer experience, and you certainly don’t need to be super-fit or flexible.

My Fitness Pilates Reformer sessions near Faversham are private and one-to-one, so the whole 50 minutes is about you. I can tailor your session to your ability, experience and what you’d like to achieve.

My private studio is in a beautiful rural location near Faversham, Kent. There’s no busy gym or large class to worry about. Just you, me and the Reformer!

Fancy giving Reformer a try?

Whether you want to feel stronger, improve your posture and flexibility, maintain your mobility or simply find a new way to keep moving, Reformer is a fantastic workout.
