Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise that uses a special machine called a "Reformer" to help you strengthen and stretch your body. The Reformer has adjustable springs that provide resistance, making it easier or harder depending on your fitness level. It helps improve core strength, flexibility, balance, and posture through controlled movements. Reformer Pilates exercises are gentle on the joints, which makes it suitable for people of all fitness levels, including beginners and those recovering from injuries. It's a great full-body workout that targets muscles you might not even realize you have!
What if I’ve never done Reformer Pilates before?
If you've never done Reformer Pilates before, don't worry—beginners are always welcome! Reformer Pilates uses a special machine to help you with exercises that improve strength, flexibility, and posture. The beauty of it is that the machine can assist you, making exercises easier or harder depending on your needs. Instructors will guide you through each move, and they can adjust things to match your experience level, so it's a great way to start if you're new to Pilates. You'll be able to learn at your own pace, and most importantly, you'll feel supported the whole way!
What should I wear?
We want you to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and allows you to move freely! Most people choose to wear form-fitting clothes like leggings, tank tops, or t-shirts so they can move easily. Also, you'll be wearing grippy socks on the Reformer, so no need for shoes. The key is to wear whatever helps you feel at ease and ready to move!
What should I bring to class with me?
For a Reformer Pilates class, you’ll want to bring a few essentials to ensure you're comfortable and ready to go. First, make sure to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session. It’s also a good idea to come with a positive mindset and good energy—Pilates is all about connecting your body and mind, so the right attitude can really enhance your experience. Lastly, don’t forget to bring grip socks or buy some in the studio! They help keep you stable on the Reformer machine and prevent slipping. Other than that, just bring yourself, and we’ll take care of the rest!
How long is each class?
Each Reformer Pilates class is 50 minutes long. This allows enough time for a full-body workout that targets strength, flexibility, and balance, while also giving you the opportunity to focus on form and technique. It’s a great amount of time to get a solid workout in without feeling rushed, and the class is structured to keep you engaged from start to finish.
