I was a total beginner - but after trying Reformer Pilates for a month, I can't believe how much my body and mood changed

Reformer Pilates before and after: Health Editor Ally Head during her Reformer challenge.

I'm a runner, so twirling my legs around in straps on a Reformer machine is about as alien to me as gaming (no offence, gamers). That said, I'd seen an increasing number of gym-goers raving about their own Reformer Pilates before and after, so I decided to give it a go for myself.

A bit of background: I'm a Senior Health Editor and 9x marathon runner. I have a Boston qualifying personal best and deadlift regularly to injury-proof my body but I often skip other workouts in order to fit everything in.
