What Are Reformer Pilates Classes?
Reformer Pilates Classes use a unique piece of equipment called the Reformer - a moving carriage with springs and straps, that add adjustable resistance to every movement. This creates a balance of challenge and support, helping you build core strength, improve alignment, and move with control.
Reformer Pilates helps you:
Strengthen and lengthen muscles safely
Improve posture and joint alignment
Develop core stability and balance
Increase flexibility and coordination
Like mat and wall Pilates, the Reformer offers guided resistance, allowing smoother, more controlled movement for every fitness level, from beginners to advanced clients seeking progression.
Reformer Pilates vs Other Types of Pilates
If you have tried mat-based Pilates before, you will find Reformer Pilates to be just as detailed but working with resistance. The Reformer offers a wider range of motion and the ability to target specific muscles with precision.
We offer a variety of pilates classes in Didsbury that complement one another, such as:
Tower Pilates Classes
Combine mat work with tower resistance for strength and stability.
Barre Pilates Classes
Blend ballet-inspired movement with Pilates principles for balance and endurance.
Mat Pilates Classes
The foundation of all Pilates work, focusing on alignment and core control.
Wall Pilates Classes
Refine technique and improve posture using supported movement.
50/50 Pilates Classes
Mix equipment and mat exercises for a balanced, full-body session.
Each style follows the same Classical principles of breath, precision, and flow. The Reformer supports your progress through the method, and many clients combine different class types to create a balanced, sustainable Pilates practice. It is a way to build a versatile practice where you can measure your progression.

Guided instruction through full-body Reformer exercises
Adjustments to ensure correct alignment
