ReformerGroup & one-on-one
The reformer’s story begins more than a hundred years ago. Joseph Pilates, who had overcome a sickly childhood through exercise, was interned on the Isle of Man during the First World War, where he led daily exercise for his fellow internees. The story goes that, to help those who were injured or bedridden keep moving, he attached springs to their beds. That idea became the Universal Reformer, which he patented in New York in 1927.
Today’s reformer works on the same principle. A sliding carriage, springs, straps and a footbar let you build strength, stability and control through the whole body. The springs can support you or challenge you, which makes it ideal for every level — gentle on the joints and remarkably effective.
