How Pilates On A Reformer Works

HOW PILATES ON A REFORMER WORKS

When doing Pilates on a mat or a Reformer, the amount of resistance and tension can often vary, but with a reformer it can be regulated. To some, Reformer equipment might resemble a torture apparatus, looking like a single bed frame but with a sliding carriage and adjustable springs to regulate tension and resistance. However, far from painful, these cables, bars, straps, and pulleys allow exercises to be done from a variety of positions, even standing.

Because this contraption can look daunting, many students start with a few months of private sessions before moving on to group classes. In many facilities, completing a series of private Reformer sessions is required before participating in group classes.

The resistance created by the pulley and spring system can provide a more challenging strength and endurance workout than mat classes
