At The Wellness Boutique, we’re a little bit obsessed with Pilates—and for good reason! This moreish form of movement does more than just get you fit; it boosts your confidence and supports your body through every stage of life. Whether you’re a seasoned Pilates pro or a curious beginner, our range of Reformer Pilates classes has something for everyone.
What Is Reformer Pilates Good For?
If you’ve ever wondered, “What is Reformer Pilates good for?”—the answer is plenty! Reformer Pilates is an incredibly versatile workout that offers a range of benefits including:
- Strengthening core muscles
- Improving posture
- Supporting pre and postnatal wellbeing
- Enhance flexibility
- Reduce low back and neck pain
- Help with rehabilitation after an injury.
It’s truly a full-body workout that meets you where you are, whether you’re looking to build strength, tone your body, or simply feel more balanced and mindful.
Is Reformer Pilates Different to Pilates?
The short answer is yes! While both forms of Pilates share the same principles of controlled movements, breath, and alignment, Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine (the Reformer) that adds resistance to your exercises. This allows for a wider range of motion and more dynamic movements compared to mat Pilates. The Reformer’s adjustable springs make it suitable for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, allowing you to tailor the intensity of your workout.
How Many Times a Week Should You Do Pilates Reformer?
While the answer depends on your fitness goals, we generally recommend starting with 2-3 classes per week to see noticeable results. Consistency is key to building strength, improving flexibility, and gaining the full benefits of Reformer Pilates. As your body adapts, you can gradually increase the frequency to challenge yourself further.
Is Reformer Pilates Hard for Beginners?
The good news is that Reformer Pilates is incredibly beginner-friendly. Our small group classes are designed to be accessible for all abilities, with a maximum of eight people per class to ensure you receive the personal attention you need. Whether you’re easing into exercise after a break, or you’re looking to try something new, our instructors are here to guide you through each movement at your own pace.
