We love the reformer! It’s a resistance-based piece of equipment with a moving carriage that slides along a metal frame. Springs and ropes provide assistance and resistance, and exercises are performed lying down, sitting, kneeling or standing.
The versatility of the reformer allows an almost unlimited range of exercises to be performed. This allows you to work every part of the body and also means that no two classes are ever the same.
Regularly attending our Reformer Pilates classes will transform the way your body looks, feels and performs.

This class is ideal if you are new to Pilates on the reformer and want to feel confident with the technique before taking on more challenging exercises. It is also ideal if you prefer to workout at a slower pace. Focus areas:
- Strengthening the abdominals.
- Stabilizing and mobilizing the pelvis and spine.
- Correct posture and breathing.

Once you are comfortable with the reformer and start to feel an improvement in your core strength, you are ready to progress to the next level. These classes are more intense, the exercises are more varied and the pace is faster. Focus areas:
- Full body conditioning.
- Increased flexibility.
- Improved coordination and balance.

If you’ve been coming to tonic classes for a while and are looking for an extra challenge, this is the class for you. You’ll perform more sequences, the changeovers are faster and there’s less explanation. This means you’ll need to be comfortable with your technique and familiar with the exercises.
