Reformer Pilates
Spring-resistance Pilates on a moving carriage — full-body, low-impact strength training that adapts to you. Build core control, tone and mobility through smooth, guided movement, scaled to every level from first-timer to regular.
The Method
Resistance, reimagined
The Benefits
What the reformer builds
Full-Body Strength
Spring resistance works every major muscle group as you push out and control the return, building lean, balanced strength without heavy impact on your joints.
Core & Control
The moving carriage demands constant stability, training your deep core and the small stabilising muscles that keep you balanced and resilient.
Tone & Definition
Time under tension through a full range of movement sculpts long, defined muscles and improves how your body looks, holds and carries itself.
Mobility & Rehab
Supported, adjustable resistance makes the reformer a favourite for rehabilitation — restoring mobility, joint health and confident movement at a pace that suits you.
What To Expect
Your first class
The format
A guided, instructor-led class on your own reformer, working through a full-body sequence at your own spring setting. Kept to small groups so the instructor can adjust and correct throughout.
For every body
No experience needed — the springs simply change to suit you. Beginners and regulars train in the same class, each working at the resistance and range that's right for them.

Getting Started
Before your first class
New to the reformer? Don't be put off by the machine — every class is fully guided, and your instructor sets you up and talks you through it. Wear fitted clothing you can move in, and grippy socks are essential on the carriage. Arrive a few minutes early for a quick set-up and to flag any injuries or conditions, so your springs and exercises can be tailored to you.
Good to know
Let us know if you're pregnant, recovering from injury or surgery, or managing any health condition, so your instructor can adjust resistance and modify exercises. Bring a water bottle, and avoid a heavy meal in the hour before class.

FAQ
How often should I practise?
Reformer Pilates rewards consistency. Most people see real change practising two to three times a week, but even one class a week builds noticeable strength and control over time. Come as often as suits your schedule and goals — your instructor can help you find a rhythm.
I'm new to the reformer — where do I start?
Right here. Our classes welcome complete beginners — your instructor sets up your reformer, explains the springs and guides you through every exercise. If you'd prefer, ask about a beginner class or an intro session to find your feet first.
What does a class feel like?
Smooth, controlled and full-body. You'll flow through exercises lying, sitting, kneeling and standing on the carriage, with the springs giving you both resistance and support. It's low-impact but genuinely challenging — most people leave feeling worked, lengthened and surprisingly strong.
What should I bring?
Just grippy socks, comfortable clothing and a water bottle. Everything else — the reformer, straps and any props — is provided. If you don't have grip socks, we can usually sort you out.
What should I wear?
Fitted, comfortable clothing you can move in — nothing too loose, as baggy fabric can catch on the carriage or straps. Grippy socks are essential. Avoid zips or buckles that might dig in when you're lying on the reformer.
Can I do reformer Pilates with an injury or in pregnancy?
Often, yes — the reformer's adjustable, supported resistance makes it popular for rehabilitation and through pregnancy, with the right modifications. Please tell us about any injuries, recent surgery, pregnancy or health conditions before class so your instructor can set your springs and adapt exercises safely. If in doubt, check with your GP or midwife first.
Do I need to be strong or flexible already?
Not at all — those are the things the reformer builds. The springs scale to your level, so you start where you are and progress as you get stronger. Every exercise can be modified, so you're always working at the right intensity for your body.
What's the difference between Reformer and Mat Pilates?
Mat Pilates uses your body weight and small props on a mat — a brilliant foundation. Reformer Pilates adds a spring-loaded machine that both supports and challenges you with adjustable resistance, for a stronger, more varied full-body workout. The two complement each other, and many clients do both. You'll find Mat Pilates on its own page.
How will I feel afterwards?
Worked, in the best way — most people feel longer, stronger and pleasantly aware of muscles they didn't know they had. With regular practice you'll see real gains in strength, tone, posture and how easily you move.
