The Pilates method is a training system developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates. This approach focuses on exercises designed to enhance body control and awareness, emphasizing muscle strengthening, flexibility, balance, and posture. The primary goal of Pilates is to develop a strong, flexible, and well-aligned body through slow, controlled movements that engage the entire body. Pilates is ideal not only for those looking to tone and strengthen their body but also for individuals recovering from injuries or aiming to improve posture.
Each movement must be performed with full awareness to achieve maximum benefits.
Each exercise requires constant muscle and movement control, preventing unnecessary strain or incorrect execution.
"Centering" refers to focusing on the body's core area (abdominals, lower back, and glutes) which serves as the starting point for every movement.
Exercises should be performed smoothly and continuously, avoiding abrupt or rigid movements.
Each exercise must be performed with accuracy to ensure effectiveness and safety.
Breathing is essential in Pilates. It must be coordinated with movement to maximize the effectiveness of each exercise.

Pilates with Reformer utilizes a machine called the Reformer, providing a more dynamic and versatile training experience. The Reformer features a moving platform and adjustable springs that offer resistance, allowing for variations in exercise intensity. This machine enables deeper engagement of specific muscle groups while further enhancing precision and movement control.
Thanks to the adjustable spring resistance, Reformer Pilates can be tailored to different fitness levels and specific physical needs. It is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or looking for a personalized workout.
The Reformer allows for more targeted and deep muscle engagement. Exercises like "footwork" (foot press movements) or "short spine" (spinal movement) help improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
The Reformer is designed to challenge body stability. As a moving machine, it requires the user to maintain balance while performing exercises, which increases core engagement and improves posture.
The Reformer allows for a wide range of exercises that engage both the upper and lower body, as well as the core. With various resistance levels and positions, it enables a complete and balanced full-body workout.
