Reformer Pilates is coming!

We are excited to announce that an 8-bed Reformer Pilates studio will be opening at the Nona Lee Sports Centre!

The studio will open on Monday 27 July and will provide instructor-led reformer classes.

Reformer Pilates builds full-body strength, enhances core stability, and improves flexibility through low-impact, spring-loaded resistance. It is highly effective for correcting posture, aiding in injury rehabilitation, and boosting overall mind-body awareness without placing heavy stress on your joints.

Reformer Timetable

The Reformer timetable will be published in the coming weeks prior to launching on Monday 27 July.

Class descriptions

Foundation Reformer

Foundation Reformer Pilates is a beginner-friendly, technique-focused class that teaches the core principles of the Pilates method. It operates at a slow-to-moderate pace, using the reformer machine to improve posture, body awareness, strength, and mobility while establishing a strong foundation for advanced workouts.

Reformer

Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, low-impact workout performed on a specialised bed-like machine using a system of springs, ropes, and pulleys. It builds core strength, flexibility, and muscle tone by providing both resistance and physical support, making it easily scalable for all fitness levels.

Reformer Strong

Reformer STRONG Pilates combines strength, cardio and reformer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates is a full-body, low-impact exercise method performed on a specialised piece of equipment called the reformer: a sliding carriage system fitted with springs, straps, and a footbar that provides adjustable resistance. Unlike mat Pilates, the reformer guides your body through a carefully controlled range of motion, making it suitable for all fitness levels, from complete beginners to elite athletes.

Reformer Pilates focuses on building deep core strength, improving posture, enhancing flexibility, and developing long, lean muscle tone. Each session is intentional and precise, targeting the stabilising muscles that everyday exercise often misses.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to complement your existing training, or simply wanting to move and feel better in your body, Reformer Pilates delivers results that you'll notice both in the studio and in daily life.
