Reformer Pilates
We are delighted to have a fully equipped, on-site Pilates Reformer studio in Chandlers Ford. Bright, light, air conditioned and spacious – all you need for the perfect Reformer Pilates session!
We’ve invested in the best equipment available, and from our dedicated studio space offer both a timetable of regular small group Reformer classes or the option of 1-2-1 sessions. All our Instructors are Physio’s or Rehab specialists, giving that unique clinical edge to your Pilates.
Why Reformer Pilates?
- Have a persistent injury that keeps coming back and you want to address the cause to stop this cycle
- Have a long standing condition (such as arthritis or back pain) that would benefit from targeted, supported and specialist exercises to help your pain and activity levels
- Want to strengthen, tone and improve your body’s flexibility
- Have limited ability to get on and off the floor to exercise, as the Reformer bed is raised

- Pro-active individuals who want to enhance their physical durability and prevent musculoskeletal injuries

What does Reformer Pilates involve?
The Reformer is a versatile piece of equipment and plays a pivotal role in enhancing your Pilates by providing adjustable resistance, aiding in better alignment, and supporting a wide range of Pilates exercises.
The Reformer is a bed-like frame with a sliding carriage, attached springs, and various straps and pulleys. The adjustable components of the reformer mean it is fully customisable, to adapt to all individuals.Â
We always start with some 1-2-1 Reformer sessions. This is essential, so you are familiar with the Reformer equipment, some of the key exercises, can use the equipment safely and can get the most from Reformer Pilates sessions. Some people continue with 1-2-1, whilst others may join one of our small Reformer classes.
During any of our Reformer Pilates sessions, you will work through a series of exercises on the Reformer bed.
Using the pulleys, straps and springs, your Instructor will vary the exercises, adding more challenge or a little more support. You can do exercises in sitting, lying, kneeling and even standing!
