There’s a reason why reformer Pilates is trending just about everywhere in 2023, and it’s not because it’s the go-to workout of Harry Styles, Meghan Markle, and Margot Robbie. Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates that involves using a platform with springs and a sliding carriage, known as the ‘reformer’. It’s an excellent workout that tones muscles and builds strength without too much impact. Like mat Pilates, regular reformer classes can also increase your flexibility and improve your posture.
That said, there’s a downside — reformer classes are expensive. This is often down to the fact the classes are smaller and the beds are expensive for the studio to buy, and involve some level of upkeep. If you’re on a budget, or you’re still working out from home after the pandemic, you might be looking to get the feel of reformer Pilates, without forking out for a class.
