REFORMER PILATES
Reformer Pilates at The Loft: Everything you need to know
If you’ve ever walked past one of our studios and spotted a machine that looks a bit like a bed with springs, that’s the Pilates Reformer. And yes, it’s as powerful as it looks. Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, resistance-based workout that strengthens and tones your entire body.
Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or levelling up your routine, you’ll find your flow on the reformer. Here is everything you need to know about Pilates Reformer at The Loft.
What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine called the reformer – a sliding carriage with springs, straps and pulleys – to add resistance and challenge to traditional Pilates movements. The result is a low-impact, high-reward workout that builds serious strength, core control and flexibility.
Expect a full-body burn, with a focus on precision, alignment and breath. It’s sweaty, satisfying, and surprisingly addictive.
What to expect from a Reformer Pilates class
Just like a Pilates Mat or Yoga class at The Loft, no two classes are the same. You’ll be guided through controlled movements using the resistance of the reformer to challenge your body in all the right ways.
Expect endurance, cardio as well as using small weights and props to challenge and train your body holistically. Our Reformer classes are a fast paced workout that challenge co-ordination, strength and endurance.
