What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates done on a Reformer: a sliding carriage with adjustable springs, straps and a footbar that add resistance and support to every exercise. Compared with mat Pilates, the springs let your instructor make each movement lighter or harder, so the same class works for beginners, people coming back from injury and experienced movers. Expect to build core strength, posture, flexibility, balance and coordination.
It's also a science-backed method. A 2022 network meta-analysis of 118 trials found Pilates had the highest likelihood for reducing pain (93%) and disability (98%) among all exercise types studied.

Benefits of Reformer Pilates
Stronger, steadier,
better aligned.
01
Core strength & stability
A 2023 systematic review in Healthcare found emerging evidence that Pilates positively impacts core muscle strength, measured by increased muscle thickness, making it effective for people with chronic low back pain.
Franks et al., 202302
Joint-friendly flexibility
A randomized controlled trial showed 12 weeks of Pilates (2× per week) produced statistically significant increases in hamstring flexibility and muscular endurance, without high-impact stress on joints.
Kloubec, J Strength Cond Res, 201003
Posture & alignment
A 2024 systematic review of 9 studies (643 participants) concluded Pilates is effective at correcting spinal deformities and improving posture, as well as relieving pain and enhancing function.
