The Reformer is the key piece of resistance
equipment used in the original repetoire of the
Pilates technique.
It uses a unique system of springs and pulleys
to enable participants to use spring tension
and the weight of their own body for
resistance.
The key to Reformer work is the focus on the
full range of movement. When the springs
recoil, the body has to work to control the
return.
Core stabilization is emphasized while working
and toning the muscles of the arms and legs.
