Reformer Pilates expands on the principles and ideas of Matwork Pilates and allows variation of resistance, and increased support, more than just simple bodyweight. ●Resistance and Support: Unlike Matwork Pilates, where exercises rely on gravity, body weight and small equipment - such as Flex-bands, balls and the Fitness Circle - the Reformer springs provide adjustable resistance to challenge the muscles. The straps and gliding carriage are on hand to provide extra support improving accessibility and enabling a different set of exercises. ●Range of Motion: The gliding carriage of the Reformer allows for a greater range of motion in exercises, enabling controlled stretches to lengthen tight muscles. ●Accessibility: Reformer Pilates in a 1:1 setting is a great place for a beginner to start their Pilates journey. For those with physical limitations, Reformer can provide additional support during exercises. ●Intensity: The Reformer adds a level of intensity that challenges stability and co-ordination in unique ways. Exercises such as Feet in Straps and Leg Circles, for instance, felt far more dynamic on the Reformer due to the added resistance from the ropes and foot straps. Or the Hundred exercise, aided by hands in straps, to increase the intensity on the abdominal muscles and help to improve the curl up. And the Mermaid, providing that lovely side lengthening stretch and hip stretch, deepened by the movement of the carriage away from the footbar Because WOW PILATES focuses on personalised 1:1 programmes, it is important that we begin with a simple phone call so that I can understand your particular needs, goals, condition and experience.
