Breaking Down Pilates Equipment

James Falls

If you’ve ever looked into a reformer Pilates class or spotted those sleek, bed-like machines in fitness studios, you might have wondered: what exactly is a reformer, and why is everyone raving about it? The reformer is at the heart of Pilates workouts, and it’s the reason so many people swear by this transformative form of exercise. Let’s break it down and explore why a reformer Pilates class at Reformcore is one of the best ways to move your body. 

What Is a Pilates Reformer?   

The Pilates reformer bed is a game-changing piece of equipment designed to strengthen, stretch, and tone your entire body. Created by Joseph Pilates, it combines springs, straps, and a gliding platform to provide both resistance and support. This combination lets you perform a huge range of movements—everything from deep core work to full-body stretches. 

What makes the reformer special is its adaptability. It works for all fitness levels, whether you’re brand new to Pilates or a seasoned pro. The springs can be adjusted to make exercises more challenging or supportive, so you’re always working at just the right level.   

Unlike traditional mat Pilates, which focuses primarily on your body weight, the reformer introduces an element of resistance that intensifies each movement and enhances your results. Think of it as Pilates, but levelled up. 

Why Try a Reformer Pilates Class? 

Reformer Pilates classes are so much more than a workout. Yes, you’ll sweat, and yes, your muscles will feel it, but there’s a precision and flow to these sessions that makes them a completely unique fitness experience. 

In a typical Reformcore class, you’ll work through a series of exercises designed to strengthen your core, improve posture, and increase flexibility. The movements are controlled, intentional, and surprisingly calming—like a moving meditation that leaves you feeling stronger and more aligned. 

Because the reformer can be customised for your body, these classes are ideal whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking for a low-impact workout, or craving a serious challenge. It’s no surprise that reformer Pilates classes in London have exploded in popularity.
