Why the reformer?
Controlled resistance
Springs set the resistance, so every exercise can be matched to your level, and progress shows from one class to the next.
No impact
You work lying, sitting or kneeling, with no jumping, so the joints are spared while the muscles take all the effort.
More mobility
The springs support you through the full range of each movement, so the body may lengthen under control, without forcing or strain.
A stronger core
The carriage moves under you, so the deep muscles of the abdomen and back work throughout to keep you stable.
Better posture
Slow, precise work through the spine and shoulders may strengthen the muscles that hold you upright, so posture can improve over time.
Steadier balance
On a moving carriage the body balances constantly, so with regular classes your balance may measurably improve.
