What is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer pilates has important effects on the body. The first of these is strengthening the muscles. Especially in reformer pilates, which strengthens the abdominal, side abdominal, waist, neck and back muscles, different work programmes target all major muscle groups. But this method shows the biggest effect on the core muscles. The health of the core, which connects the upper and lower parts of the body, ensures that all parts can fulfil their function correctly. For this reason, reformer pilates helps you to be much healthier and stronger. Another one of the benefits of reformer pilates is balance. Reformer pilates movements, which allow you to better control your body, teach you to stabilise your balance.


Thanks to these movements where you can discover the limits of your body, you can strengthen your awareness of balance. On the other hand, it is possible to correct your posture with this working method. If you are constantly slouching, if you feel pain in your shoulders and back that does not go away, if you work at a desk all day long or if you find yourself in a hunchbacked position while looking after your phone, you can get quick results with reformer pilates. When you strengthen your back muscles, you can observe that you can stand upright much more comfortably and get rid of your pain. Pilates, which has many benefits for the body, also has a type that is done on the mat without tools.


Due to these methods, which are divided into two, the question "reformer pilates or normal pilates is better?" often puzzles the minds. In fact, since you mostly use your own weight in mat pilates, your joints are not overloaded. Thus, with different variations of movements, it is made possible for people of all ages and health conditions to do pilates. In reformer pilates, the movements are similar to those in mat pilates, but more resistance is applied to your body with the springs, ropes and straps in the tools. Of course, it is possible to make the movements you do on the mat more difficult by using weights. However, in reformer pilates, you can control these weights in a much more balanced way.
