THE METHOD

What is reformer pilates

The reformer is Joseph Pilates' own invention — a carriage on rails with a variable spring resistance system, designed over a century ago. It allows deep work with the muscles responsible for posture and stability, without impact on the joints. It teaches the body to move well.

Alongside the reformer, the studio uses a barrel, trapeze table, and chair. The barrel develops spinal flexibility and mobility; the trapeze allows movement with resistance across different planes; the chair trains balance, stability, and strength — including through asymmetrical exercises.

  • Posture and alignment
  • Deep muscle strength
  • Mobility and flexibility
  • Coordination and control
  • Care for joints and spine

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is reformer pilates suitable for beginners?

Yes. Reformer pilates is one of the safest forms of resistance training, thanks to the adjustable spring resistance and the support the equipment provides. In your first class, the instructor will explain how the machine works, the basic body positions, and the principles of movement.

What do I need to bring?

Comfortable sportswear (without metal fastenings that could scratch the reformer) and grip socks with silicone dots on the sole. If you don't have any, we have them at the studio. Towels, water, and a changing area are also available.

What should I wear?

Fitted or moderately close-fitting sportswear. Avoid very loose trousers — the instructor needs to be able to see how the muscles are working. Leggings and a sports top are ideal.

How many times a week is optimal?

Two to three times a week is where most people notice a real change. The body needs time between sessions to adapt. If you are just starting out, begin with twice a week and see how you feel.

Can I practise during pregnancy or after giving birth?

Yes, with your doctor's clearance. We offer private sessions adapted for pregnancy and postnatal recovery. Please let the instructor know your stage or date of birth before booking.

I have back pain. Can I still take classes?

In most cases, yes — but with a private instructor who can account for your specific situation. Please consult your doctor first, and let us know the details before booking. We will find a safe format together.

Can I freeze my membership?

Yes — the 8- and 12-class memberships can be frozen once for 7–14 days on request. The unlimited month membership cannot be frozen.

How do I cancel a class booking?

Cancellations are free of charge if made at least 12 hours before the class starts, through the booking system. Late cancellations or no-shows result in the class being deducted from your membership.
