WHAT IS REFORMER PILATES?
THE REFORMER… IT QUITE SIMPLY REFORMS!
The ‘Reformer’ is possibly the most famous piece of Pilates equipment alongside the Cadillac, the Spine Corrector and the Wunderchair.
To describe how it works – within the frame, there is a fixed platform and one end and a sliding mat-like section, called the ‘carriage’. The carriage moves forwards and backwards on runners, attached to the platform by a set of springs. These springs provide strong, medium, or low resistance as the carriage is moved. There’s an adjustable foot bar and long straps with hand/foot loops, which are used to work the legs and arms, and shoulder blocks stabilising you when you’re working out.
“The team at CorefitPhysio have genuinely changed my life and kept me working without pain for years longer than I ever imagined possible. I tell everyone about how fantastic their Reformer Pilates is and how professional and dedicated the team at CorefitPhysio is.”
A reformer Pilates machine can be used in a huge range of ways to benefit strength, flexibility, and balance. This can be done standing, sitting, or laying down using all the different parts of the Reformer for variation. Classes often include the use of small Pilates equipment including balls, Pilates rings, ankle weights, resistance bands, a balance mat, and an integrated block for added impact, interest, and challenge.
The versatility of the Reformer means it can continue to challenge even the most experienced Pilates clients while looking after those that are new to us too.

WHO DOES REFORMER CLASSES?
Our Reformer and Machine Pilates clients range in age from 15 to 80+. Each has a different journey… a very different goal. Some are in prehab or rehab; others are amateur athletes looking to support their sport-specific goals; many are busy professionals needing to be ‘fighting fit’ and physically resilient; some are parents requiring some well-being and reparative time and some are retirees looking to avoid injury and maintain a healthy active lifestyle. Some clients take Reformer or Machine Pilates sessions because they simply want to stay strong, mobile and walk their dog without feeling pain.
They come in all shapes & sizes, have different physical challenges, limitations, or ambitions, and are beautifully unique and special.
“There’s a certain stigma about men attending Pilates classes, but having experienced back pain for most of my adult life I knew I needed to do something. I was a little apprehensive at first. But I shouldn’t have been. The team at CorefitPhysio made me feel very welcome from day one and within the first few moments of my first Reformer class, all my concerns evaporated. Attending classes here has now become a regular fixture in my weekly diary. And as for the back pain – I can honestly say it is now under control for the first time in years. For any men hesitating to get involved – I’d say just give it a go.”

” I absolutely love the reformer Pilates classes at CorefitPhysio! I not only feel stronger – as I get that bit older – but it’s, also, encouraged me to focus on and improve my posture. The classes are small – 6:1 – and perfectly formed; paying particular attention to your individual needs. Huge thanks for making every class different and always challenging us to be better!”

GETTING STARTED
LET YOUR JOURNEY BEGIN
“I first went to CorefitPhysio to get help with a shoulder injury and the team there have been amazing. I am now a complete convert to reformer Pilates and would highly recommend the studio whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro!”
Feeling inspired? Let’s get you started.
Your first step to getting into a Reformer Class or to Private Machine based sessions would to book a Class Readiness Assessment (the quick one to get you into class) or a Biomechanical Assessment (the detailed one to diagnose and treat acute or chronic issues). This would be with a member of our senior physio team and you will decide with your physio considering you identified needs and goals, if your plan will be a course of traditional physiotherapy, a course of private machine based sessions or to continue directly into a class. We usually suggest you start with our foundation reformer classes as these allow you time to familarise yourself with the exercises and provide a slightly slower pace.
Would you like to go straight to class? We offer a ‘Getting Started’ package which is a beautiful bundle of a Class Readiness Assessment, 1x Private Machine based session, and 1x Foundation Reformer class.
