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.

The Benefits of Reformer Pilates

Regular Reformer practice can transform how you move and feel day to day. You’ll notice improved posture, strength, and control, along with a stronger mind–body connection.

Key benefits include:

  • Increased strength and flexibility

  • Better posture and joint alignment

  • Reduced stiffness and muscle tension

  • Improved balance and coordination

  • Greater mind–body connection

At Loving Pilates Studio Ltd, every exercise is guided carefully to ensure correct form and technique. We keep classes small so your teacher can provide individual attention and help you progress safely and confidently.

What to Expect from a Reformer Class

When you attend a class at our Didsbury studio, you will find a calm and focused space designed for learning and movement.

During a typical session, you can expect:

  • A built-in warm-up, with footwork and the 100 serving as the classical starting sequence

  • Guided instruction through full-body Reformer exercises

  • Adjustments to ensure correct alignment

  • A balance of resistance and control to challenge and support you

  • Movements that seamlessly combine strength and stretch in every exercise

Over time, you’ll feel stronger, stand taller, and move with more confidence both in and out of the studio.
