Core Reformer-Foundations/Beginner
Designed by Joseph Pilates, the reformer is a machine based on spring resistance. It has a carriage that moves forward and back along stable rails. For certain exercises, cords with straps for your hands or feet may be added. The reformer challenges you to build on Pilates principles such as control, alignment and fluid movement as you push and pull against the springs. This class is a great option for beginners or those interested in understanding optimal movement and core control. Because Pilates is the “thinking person’s” exercise, and direction on the reformer is key, many report leaving reformer classes with a sense of clarity, focus, and body awareness.
