About Pilates on the Reformer: Core Strength & Control

Unlike mat work, the reformer uses springs and pulleys to give you immediate feedback on your alignment. If you are struggling to engage your lower abdominals or feel like your back does all the work, this equipment highlights exactly where you need to adjust, helping you learn to move with more efficiency and less strain.
