Pilates Reformer

Less funky-looking than the Cadillac, and also invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates, the Reformer is a bed-like frame with a flat platform on it, called the carriage, which rolls back and forth on wheels within the frame. The carriage is attached to one end of the reformer by a set of springs. The springs can be adjusted to various levels of resistance as the carriage is pushed or pulled along the frame.

Body weight and resistance of the springs are what make the carriage more or less difficult to move. Reformers' parts are adjustable for differing body sizes and for differing levels of skill.

On the Reformer, exercises can be done lying down, sitting, standing, pulling the straps, or pushing the footbar or bar. In other words, the reformer can train myriad body parts in many different ways with just one relatively sleek piece of equipment.   Reformer classes are never dull as often new ways to use it are introduced!

Exercising on the Reformer promotes length, strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. The Reformer can be used for beginners to advanced Pilates students. These improvements lead to daily life benefits like better posture, graceful and efficient movement, and for many, relief from back pain.
