Pilates Universal Reformer
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.
