Based on Joseph Pilates' original design, the
bulk of pilates sessions is performed on this piece of equipment.
It warms the body, articulates joints, dictates coordination, and
employs several muscle groups simultaneously. The center powerhouse,
the core of the body, is strengthened from the sternum to the pubic
bone, commanding stability and placement as the body reforms.
The following exercises are only a few of the
hundreds of movements that can be performed on the Reformer Bed.

The Splits
This is an advanced move that can be modified for beginners.
The Splits lengthens the hamstrings and quads, and places
the core over extended legs to enhance balance.

The Lean
This is an advanced move that can be modified for beginners.
The Lean creates strength, stretch, and power in the oblique
muscles. The pole gives the arms placement over the crown
of the head and aligns the body in relationship to the spine.
