What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a low-impact exercise style that uses a machine called a Reformer. A Reformer uses resistance to help strengthen your muscles, improve your flexibility, and help with injury recovery. While it might look complicated, the mechanism is simple — the machine frame contains a flat platform called a carriage that rolls up and down the frame on wheels. You use your own bodyweight and strength to push and pull yourself up on the frame, along with a rope pulley system at one end and a platform or bar at the other. You can do a whole host of exercises on the Pilates Reformer — even some you might be familiar with from Mat Pilates.
The benefit of using a Reformer for Pilates is that you can add extra resistance. So if you love Mat Pilates and want to take it up a notch, consider using a Reformer to increase the intensity of the exercises.
