MOVATI has been known for its ever-popular Mat Pilates classes. A class where members utilize body weight exercises to target a whole-body workout. In the spring of 2023, select clubs will be introducing Pilates Reformer classes, taking the Pilates experience to a whole new level. 

What Are the Benefits of Pilates?

Traditionally, Pilates is used to stretch, strengthen and balance the body, while focusing on breathing techniques to create a more powerful mind-body connection.

How is Reformer Pilates Different from Traditional Pilates?  

Reformer Pilates, a more modern approach to Pilates training, utilizes slow and controlled movements, with the assistance of a machine that uses a sliding platform (a carriage). Reformer classes allow you to experience the benefits of a total body workout, along with muscle specific workouts like our Core & Glutes or Cardio & Core classes to help mimic a more traditional strength training workout (without the barbells and weights). The reformers are targeted to help improve strength, posture, balance and coordination. 

With 6 class types to choose from, Pilates Reformer will keep your mind and body challenged with each workout. Come check us out and experience the difference with Pilates Reformer.
