Reformers

Pilates is ideal for developing muscle strength without adding bulk, lengthening the entire body and improving spine alignment. Another benefit of pilates is the synthesis of mind and body, stressing the importance making only precise movements and concentration on every motion in regards to the entire body. When using a pilates reformer, you place your body upon a movable carriage used in tandem with straps or ropes. Resistance is created by your body weight and springs of varying tension. By changing body position, you can do a wide variety of movements used to strengthen and increase flexibility in every part of the body.
