Fit4Life has brought Reformer Pilates to the Fit4Life Family! We have two Balanced Body Allegro Reformers in our small studio for either 1:1 Personal Reformer Training or for couples.
With the Reformer, you lie, kneel, stand, and sit to create a balanced body and strong core — or “powerhouse” as creator Joseph Pilates called it.
The Reformer offers all the mat based Pilates core-building benefits and more. The resistance of the pulley and spring system offers more resistance than what you get with just your body weight on a mat. You’ll achieve improved posture and coordination than you can with a mat or classic fitness core routine.
The bars and cables of the Reformer guarantee you’ll move your body through a full range of motion — something you might not be able to do on your own. When you hold the cables at your arms or fix the cables to your feet, you can’t help but extend to the fullest to follow their track.
The multiple attachments we have for the Reformer means your workout is tailored to your ability.
While Mat Pilates does include some exercises that train your arms and legs, they’re usually done with very light resistance. The Reformer works your arms and legs more thoroughly, providing a more comprehensive workout.
The resistance of the Reformer means you’ll get results from your workouts faster. The tension of the springs on the moving carriage adjusts to different levels of difficulty.
As you become stronger and more proficient with the Reformer, you progress from reclined exercises to ones that put less of your body surface on the carriage, meaning you need to use more of your own strength and coordination to execute the moves.
You should even notice greater definition in your arms, legs, and abs after just a few months of consistent work on the Reformer.
