The Reformer is an incredibly versatile resistance-based machine, with a complex set of springs, ropes and straps connected to a gliding carriage. You can perform exercises in various positions: lying down, sitting, kneeling or standing. The straps, adjustable for feet or hands, allow you to push or pull against the resistance of the springs and your own body weight.
Advanced Mat further increases the challenge by introducing a wider range of classical Pilates exercises, along with functional and standing work, at a non-stop pace. The focus is on continual flowing movement, and full body strength is required for every exercise. Please note, this class is not suitable for clients with injuries, and previous Pilates experience is required.
A great class for all levels, especially those new to barre workouts. Incorporating elements of dance, Pilates, cardio and strength training to create a high energy, dynamic class. Taught to music, Barre classes focus on strength, flexibility, stamina and dynamic flexibility. It’s a programme geared for everyone – no dance experience required!
