So what is reformer pilates?
Since it was first developed by Joseph Pilates over a century ago, pilates has become one of the most effective ways to keep fit and healthy. Reformer pilates is a type of exercise that is done using a machine called a 'reformer' which is designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. A pilates reformer is made up of a frame, a carriage that slides back and forth on the frame and some springs that are used to create different levels of resistance, challenging the muscles to improve your fitness.
Benefits of doing 'traditional' reformer pilates
Whether you're just starting out on your fitness journey or you're an experienced athlete, then reformer pilates is definitely worth considering. It's a time-tested form of exercise that offers a wide range of benefits. Reformer pilates is a great way to improve your strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, plus there's a range of mental benefits too. Here are some of the ways reformer pilates can transform your body and your life:
Enhanced core stability
With its adjustable springs and resistance, the pilates reformer enables a wide range of exercises that specifically engage the core muscles. By targeting and strengthening these muscles], reformer pilates improves core stability.
Increased Flexibility
Reformer pilates is an excellent way to improve your flexibility. The exercises are designed to stretch and lengthen your muscles, which can help to reduce the risk of injury and improve your posture.
Improved Muscle Strength and Tone
Reformer pilates is also great for improving your strength and muscle tone. The different levels of resistance allow you to challenge your muscles, which can help to build and tone them over time. This can help to improve your overall fitness and make it easier to perform everyday tasks.
Better Balance and Coordination
Reformer pilates can also help to improve your balance and coordination. The exercises are designed to target specific muscles and movements, which can help to improve your overall body awareness and control. This can be especially helpful for older adults who are at risk of falls.
Low-Impact Exercise
One of the great things about reformer pilates is that it's a low-impact form of exercise. This means that it's easier on your joints and can be a good option for people who have injuries or conditions that make high-impact exercise difficult.
Fun and Challenging
Pilates is a fun and challenging form of exercise, and reformer pilates is no exception. The different levels of resistance allow you to challenge your body in different ways, which can help to keep your workouts interesting and engaging.
Increased Mind-Body Connection
Finally, reformer pilates can help to improve your mind-body connection. The focus on breathing and movement can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and the exercises themselves can be meditative and relaxing.

So what's the downside?!
So reformer pilates has many 'pros'. So what are the 'cons'?
Class structure
Most gyms or studios that offer reformer pilates in Bondi — or anywhere ielse in Sydney or beyond for that matter — run group classes that may not be optimised for your specific goals.
In a group reformer pilates class, you'll typically work together in a studio setting using reformer machines, with the instructor on a machine at the front demonstrating what you need to do, or walking around the studio between the participants while the movements are displayed on video screens on the walls.
While there may be a degree of individual 'adjustment' during a group reformer pilates class, each class is structured in advance with little personalisation other than dialling up the intensity of complexity of a specific movement. So the structure and experience of group reformer pilates classes can vary depending on the studio, the instructor and the other participants in the class.
On two separate days you can attend the same class format, run through the same program with the same instructor and have a totally different experience depending on how you're feeling and any of these other variables. This means yu may not always get the most out of your group class.
Studio environment and equipment
Many group reformer pilates classes take place where as many pilates reformer machines have beencrammed into the studio and you may not have as much room as you'd like to feel comfortable. The actual pilates reformers may also feel quite small, especially if you're above average when it comes to height and weight.
Scheduling
It also goes without saying that a group-based reformer pilates class is run on a timetable that may not always work with your schedule. For example the class you want to attend may take place during your work hours, or you may have to rush to the studio from school drop off to make your favourite class in time!
