The universal reformer, commonly known as the reformer, is the most recognizable and popular piece of equipment in Pilates. It is a versatile
apparatus that uses a combination of springs, pulleys, straps, and a sliding carriage to assist or challenge each Pilates exercise. The reformer is
designed to stretch and strengthen muscle groups not easily reached by traditional equipment. Movements performed on the reformer range from
fundamental to extremely advanced and are performed in various positions for specific purposes.
Each piece of Pilates apparatus has specific advantages and features that are unique. The reformer is the most user-friendly on which to perform
foot work in that it places the body in a comfortable, nonweight-bearing position and recruits the muscles in a balanced fashion. Stretches
performed on the reformer for the lower body cannot be duplicated as effectively on any other equipment. The reformer offers the most variety of
movements for the upper body as well. Also, the jumping series is unique to this piece of Pilates apparatus. The reformer accommodates
movement in the full range of motion not found on other pieces of equipment.
In reformer private training sessions, the instructor will develop programming to create a healthy balance throughout the body. By using the
reformer with the guidance of a trained instructor, the client will perform exercises to a prescribed number of maximum repetitions to create
balance in the body by strengthening weak muscles and lengthening bulky ones. During private sessions, the client will focus on engaging the
mind with the body such that every movement is performed with attention to the breath, proper form, and efficient movement patterns under the
watchful eye of a certified, trained Pilates professional.
