Reformer Pilates focuses on strengthening and toning muscles while also improving balance, flexibility, and posture. It involves the use of a machine called a reformer, which uses a series of springs or cords, and pulleys to create resistance and assist with movement. This type of exercise has gained popularity in recent years due to its many and profound benefits for both physical and mental health. Here are some of the key benefits of Reformer Pilates:

In today's chaotic, stress-filled world, a little exercise goes a long way to adding joy and vitality to your day. If you do nothing else, at least find 10 minutes to slowly stretch your whole body. Stretch to your full extension, relax in that position by exhaling into the stretch and then stretch a little more.

Most people have some kind of physical pain from years of incorrect movement, over zealous exercising and compounded injury. Joseph Pilates understood the negative effects of repetitive stress and touted the benefits of training the body as one integrated unit, in a symmetrically balanced way, on your back, on a machine that supports all structural weaknesses and challenges specific areas to simultaneously stretch and strengthen.

Joseph Pilates developed his method of working out to be performed on various pieces of equipment, the most common of which are the mat and the reformer. Both forms build strength, tone your body, improve your mental clarity and teach you how to use your breath. But there are some key differences between the two you should be aware of before you choose one route over the other. 

Interestingly, in 1920, Joseph Pilates preached about concentration, focus and breath, stating that they were essential in attaining total health and well-being. As you practice, the process becomes easier. If you stay focused your nervous system will begin to choose the right combination of muscles, your body will move more effortlessly and you will find that the nervous system and brain are able to relax.

The objective of the study was to thoroughly examine AeroPilates, an exercise program that combines Pilates strength training with supine cardio rebounding, which can be accomplished by a majority of people, and to determine whether there are significant fitness and weight loss effects.

People everywhere are intrigued by the genius of the Pilates movement. This is how it all began. The Pilates method of body conditioning is a unique, proven system of exercises developed over ninety years ago by the late Joseph H. Pilates. The basis of all Pilates inspired methods comes from his teachings and his work. He was born in 1880 and grew up in England where he was interned during the war and became a nurse.

The HUNDRED has been long considered the exercise that Joseph Pilates was most renowned for. Even though it engages almost all the muscles of the front (abs) and back, it is primarily a breathing exercise.

All over the world, fitness centers have jumped on the “pilates” bandwagon by selling mat work: mostly because they don’t have the space nor the money to invest in the expensive apparatus but if you were to ask Joseph himself he would without doubt advise that the most productive physical and mental changes can only occur on the Reformer.
