Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates exercise performed on and around a specialised piece of equipment called a reformer, or reformer bed. The reformer is a frame-like apparatus with a sliding carriage, and adjustable springs and ropes. 

During the session you will be instructed to lay, sit, kneel or stand on the carriage or platform and perform a series of exercises that target various muscle groups. Props such as a pilates ball, ring, and hand weights are also often used to further isolate or target muscle groups. 

The springs provide the resistance for these movements and they can be adjusted to accommodate different levels of strength and ability.

Reformer Pilates is often practiced in a group class setting led by a trained instructor, but private sessions are also available. It is advisable to learn and practice Reformer Pilates under the guidance of a qualified instructor to ensure proper technique and maximize the benefits of the exercises.
