Do I need to be fit to start Reformer Pilates?
Absolutely not.
One of the advantages of Reformer Pilates is that exercises can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels, abilities and experience.
The reformer uses springs to provide resistance, allowing exercises to be modified or progressed depending on the individual.
You don't need to be particularly flexible, strong or coordinated to get started. That's part of what you're coming to develop!
What should I look for in a Reformer Pilates studio?
Not all Reformer classes are the same.
When choosing a studio, consider:
Class sizes: Smaller groups allow instructors to observe your movement and provide more individual guidance.
Instructor experience: Knowledgeable instructors understand how to adapt exercises and offer appropriate challenges.
Class variety: Different class formats can help you work towards different fitness goals.
Atmosphere: Find somewhere you feel comfortable, regardless of your age, fitness level or experience.
Most importantly, choose somewhere you'll enjoy attending regularly.
Is Reformer Pilates just stretching?
Not at all.
While Pilates can help improve flexibility and mobility, it also challenges muscular endurance, strength, balance and coordination.
At Scooter Pilates, we offer traditional Reformer classes alongside dedicated Strength, Jumpboard, Circuit and Reformer Stretch sessions.
Our Strength classes also incorporate equipment such as dumbbells and kettlebells, allowing us to apply strength training principles both on and off the reformer.
