Reformer Pilates Shrewsbury

Why choose reformer Pilates at MOVE.?

Reformer Pilates uses a specialised piece of equipment, the reformer, to expand on the benefits of traditional mat Pilates. The sliding carriage, springs and straps add adjustable resistance, allowing you to work your body in ways a mat alone cannot. The result is a workout that challenges your strength, stability and mobility all at once, while remaining low-impact and joint friendly.

At MOVE., every class is taught in an intimate, small group and integrated with our wider clinic, so support from our chiropractic and sports therapy teams is always close to hand.

The benefits of reformer Pilates

Regular reformer Pilates can help you:

  • Build core strength and improve posture
  • Increase flexibility and joint mobility
  • Improve balance and body control
  • Support injury rehabilitation and prevention
  • Develop full-body strength using adjustable resistance
Because the reformer adapts to every level, you progress at a pace that suits your body, whether you are building foundations or refining advanced technique.

Reformer Pilates vs mat Pilates: what's the difference?

Mat Pilates uses your body weight on a mat, while reformer Pilates uses a spring-loaded machine to add resistance and support. The reformer allows a far greater range of exercises, makes movements both easier and harder where needed, and provides more feedback and control. For many people, particularly those rehabilitating an injury or seeking faster strength gains, the reformer offers a more versatile and progressive workout.
