The origins of the Pilates reformer date back to the original Pilates studio in New York in the 1920’s and was designed by the founder, Joseph Pilates.
Reformer Pilates is a superior workout to the mat based variety as the amount of exercises available is greatly increased providing far more versatility. The exercises usually work muscles through a large range of motion which is ideal for building and toning as well increasing stability through the joints. Because Reformer Pilates works more areas than the core, which is worked in mat Pilates, it is considered to be a full-body workout.
