Wellness Plus membership

Reformer Pilates, created by Joseph Pilates, involves using a bed-like frame with weighted spring combinations to provide resistance as you move back and forth. This allows for the targeting of small muscle groups, leading to longer and leaner muscles. The machine also allows for a greater variety of movements and exercises compared to mat Pilates.

Reformer Pilates classes typically involve a range of exercises, using positions such as laying down, sitting, and standing on the machine, as well as pushing the foot bar and pulling the straps. The movements are slow and controlled, engaging the entire body to improve muscle tone, strength, and posture. Smaller muscle groups are isolated, and deep core stabilizer muscles are recruited.

Yes, grip socks are required. These socks can be purchased at Aquahub or Aquanation for $18 or you can bring your own.

• Please arrive 5-mins early to class

Each class caters for all fitness levels, as the springs can be adjusted to meet individual needs. Each Reformer Pilates instructor will complete their own choreography (routine) based on their skills and experience.
Reformer Pilates is a low-impact workout that can be a great starting point for those new to exercise or a complementary addition to an existing routine.
