Reformer Pilates improves strength particularly in the core, glutes, legs and upper body. It can improve posture, flexibility and balance. Participation in class can also help relieve stress and improve mental wellbeing.
If you’re new to reformer, we recommend starting with our Beginner Reformer classes or our 6-Week Beginner Course. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you can progress to our mixed-level classes.

The most important thing is consistency – regular practice will always deliver the best results.
