What are reformer classes?

Reformer classes are group based exercise/movement sessions performed on the most popular piece ofPilates apparatus - the Reformer. In Reformer Classes, everyone performs the same exercise or variations of that exercise (to cater for everyone in the class). Each movement and exercise has multiple variations which can be used to suit each person. Class numbers can vary from 3 per class to 12+ per class. It is recommended that classes are limited to no more than 10 reformers/clients per class, due to the complexity of movements available on the Reformer and the (likely) inability of the instructor to correct every persons form. Reformer classes can cater for a wide range of clients with different goals - from injury rehab and prevention to beginners and elite athletes.
