To the new or uninformed, the Pilates Reformer can be an intimidating exercise apparatus. Fitted with an array of pulleys, straps and bars, the reformer may even initially seem like a torture device, rather than equipment that was developed for injury rehabilitation! Today, the Pilates reformer is one of the most popular pieces of Pilates apparatus – they form the basis of many class types at Club Pilates!

The Pilates reformer is a piece of equipment that was invented by Joseph Pilates over 70 years ago. It is a bed-like frame that has springs and cables attached, which allow for a wide variety of exercises to be performed on it. The reformer is often used in conjunction with other pieces of Pilates equipment, such as the Cadillac (or Trapeze Table) and Wunda Chair.
There are many reasons why the Pilates reformer is popular. Firstly, the reformer allows for a huge range of exercises to be performed, which can cater to all fitness levels. Secondly, as mentioned before, the reformer is often used in group settings, such as Club Pilates, where the instructor can help to ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly and safely.
Finally, the reformer is great for developing strength, stability and flexibility – all key ingredients for a strong and healthy body!
