1. Strengthens the core

A strong core is essential for stability and balance in sports, training and daily life. Reformer Pilates can train the core muscles at a deeper level and target specific muscle groups to achieve a more defined and toned physique.

2. Increases flexibility

Reformer Pilates includes a wide range of movements and positions that increases flexibility in the muscles and joints. The adjustable springs and straps provide resistance and support to safely stretch and lengthen your muscles.

3. Eases chronic pain

By increasing the range of motion and restoring mobility, it can ease pain, provide better functional movement, and ease sore neck, back pain, pelvic pain, and more.

4. Improves posture and spinal health

With a focus on body alignment, it helps maintain a neutral spine which allows for efficient movement patterns and optimal muscle activation.

By engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously, the full-body workout helps to burn calories, leading to overall weight loss and a leaner physique.

Incorporating relaxation and breathing exercises, Reformer Pilates helps reduce stress and promote a sense of calmness.
