What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates follows the same principles as mat based Pilates, but is a little different! Reformer Pilates is done using the Pilates Reformer machine and is generally more intense and more dynamic than mat based Pilates as it adds resistance to the Pilates exercises via the use of the springs which form part of the machine.

Once you have tried your taster class, if you are keen to continue, simply book in for a Pilates Assessment and our APPI trained Physiotherapist instructors will talk to you about your medical history, goals, and any experience you have with Pilates. They may also run you through our 3D Movement Analysis and Gait Scan technology to make sure we have a clear understanding of your starting point.
