The Secret to a Strong, Flexible and Balanced Body

In a previous article, we shared the history of the Reformer Pilates and its main benefits. If you haven’t read it yet, you can find it here.

Today, we’ll dive deeper into the specifics of Reformer workouts, the variety of exercises you can do, and why it has become such a popular training method.

What is a Reformer Pilates?

The Reformer Pilates is a piece of equipment that combines stability and dynamic movement. It consists of:

• a movable carriage that slides along rails, 
• adjustable springs that provide different levels of resistance, 
• ropes, straps, and foot/hand bars, which allow a wide range of exercises in various positions. 

A typical Reformer workout lasts about 60 minutes and is done in small groups, ensuring personalized attention and proper technique.

Popular Reformer Pilates Exercises

Hundred

Lift your legs and torso while pulsing your arms in rhythm. A perfect way to activate your core muscles at the very beginning of the session.

Bridging

From a lying position, lift your hips as the carriage moves beneath you. This strengthens the glutes and back while stretching the front of the thighs.

Short Spine Massage

With your feet in the straps, lift your legs over your head and then roll your spine back down onto the carriage, vertebra by vertebra. A great exercise for spinal mobility and core strength.

Why Choose Reformer Pilates?

Each movement requires concentration, precision, and control. Over time, this improves:

• neuromuscular connection, 
• coordination and balance, 
• body awareness. 

Beginners start with lighter resistance and a focus on proper technique. As you progress, more complex movements and higher intensity are introduced.

Suitable for Everyone

• Low-impact training – ideal for people recovering from injuries or surgeries (back, knees, shoulders). 
• Adaptable for all levels – from complete beginners to professional athletes. 
• Special benefits – helps with postnatal recovery and diastasis recti when performed with the right guidance. 

Whether your goal is to tone your body, improve posture, or simply add variety to your fitness routine – the Reformer is an excellent choice.
