Why Reformer Pilates?
At 4NT, we’re always exploring ways to help you move better, feel stronger, and connect with your body in a way that feels both grounding and energising.
That’s why we’re so excited to bring Reformer Pilates to the studio, and trust us, it’s about to become your new favorite way to move.
If you’ve ever seen a reformer before, you know it looks a little like a mix between a bed and a spaceship. But don’t be fooled - it’s one of the most effective, versatile, and fun tools for building strength, improving posture, and unlocking new levels of body awareness.
Here’s why we’re all about it:
Support + resistance in one
The reformer meets you where you are. Springs can give you extra support when you’re learning the ropes, or dial up the resistance when you’re ready to level up. This makes it perfect for both beginners stepping into Pilates for the first time and those of you who are looking for a fresh challenge.
Strength you can feel (and see)
Reformer Pilates doesn’t just work the “big” muscles - it wakes up the stabilisers too. Think deeper core activation, stronger glutes, and better posture that follows you out of the studio and into everyday life. You’ll start noticing it when you sit taller, walk lighter, and feel more switched-on in your body - you can thank us later.
Mobility + flexibility (without the strain)
Every move on the reformer is designed to lengthen while it strengthens. That means joints are supported, tension is released, and you get stronger without the grind. It’s the sweet spot between building muscle and keeping your body supple.
Endless variety = zero boredom
This isn’t a “same workout every time” situation. On the reformer, you’ll be lying down, kneeling, standing, pushing, pulling - and smiling through the challenge. Our schedule will be packed with variety: gentle, beginner-friendly classes, fire-up-your-core sessions, and everything in between.
Guided by the best crew
We’ve got an absolute crew of amazing teachers ready to take you through the journey. SO, if you’re dipping your toes in for the first time or hunting for a spicy challenge, our instructors know how to guide you with clarity, care, and just the right amount of push.
At 4NT, movement is never about punishment - it’s about joy, connection, and discovering what your body is capable of. With Reformer Pilates now part of our offering, our schedule is about to be popping off with options for every mood and every body.
Reformer Pilates FAQs
Is Reformer Pilates good for beginners?
Absolutely. One of the best things about the reformer is that it’s adaptable. With adjustable springs, your instructor can make exercises lighter for support or heavier for challenge. At 4NT Fit, we offer beginner-friendly classes so you can learn the foundations at your own pace.
What are the benefits of Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates helps build strength, improve posture, increase flexibility, and enhance overall body awareness. It also supports healthy joints, strengthens your core, and brings balance back to your body. Many people find it helps ease tension and boosts energy, too.
How is Reformer Pilates different from mat Pilates?
Mat Pilates relies mostly on your body weight, while the reformer adds springs, straps, and a moving carriage for extra resistance and support. This means you can target muscles more precisely, explore a greater variety of movements, and progress your practice in new ways.
Do I need to be flexible to start?
Not at all! Reformer Pilates actually helps develop flexibility while building strength. Every class is designed to meet you where you’re at, so no need to be “bendy” to start.
How often should I do Reformer Pilates?
Even one class a week can make a difference, but two to three sessions per week is ideal for building strength, improving mobility, and noticing lasting changes in your body.
Is Reformer Pilates a good workout?
Yes - and in more ways than one. It’s low-impact but highly effective, offering a blend of strength training, mobility work, and mindful movement. You’ll leave class feeling challenged, but also energised and grounded (no punishment workouts here).
