WHAT IS THE PILATES REFORMER?

OUR INSTRUCTORS
All of our trainers have studied to become Certified Reformer Pilates instructors under the FITour Teacher Training module. They understand the movement of the body to achieve maximal strength, flexibility, muscular balance and endurance. With their combination of degrees and experience, our Pilates Instructors are able to provide you with unbelievable results no matter your fitness level.
Pilates looks deceptively easy but the often-tiny movements improve balance and core strength. Pilates does this in part by reinforcing the bond between mind and muscles, helping people engage the right muscles in the core. This leads to better posture and control over the body's movements.
