What Happens in the Class

You work on a reformer bed, a sliding carriage attached to a frame by a set of weighted springs. As you push and pull the carriage through each exercise, the springs provide resistance that challenges your muscles through a full range of motion. Your instructor guides you through a structured sequence of movements targeting your core, legs, arms, back and glutes.

The spring system is what makes reformer pilates so adaptable. Adding springs increases the resistance for a harder workout. Removing springs reduces it for a gentler session. Your instructor will help you find the right setting for your level, and you can adjust throughout the class as needed.

Every movement emphasises control, alignment and breath. The pace is deliberate rather than rushed, which allows you to focus on technique and build strength through precise, intentional movement. This makes reformer pilates low impact by design, with the carriage and springs absorbing force and supporting your body throughout.

Sessions last 45 minutes.
