What Even Is Reformer Pilates?

From Miley Cyrus to Margot Robbie, reformer pilates has become a favourite form of exercise among celebs, but it’s not just for Hollywood’s elite. The exercise has become increasingly popular in Ireland in the last couple of months with many swearing by the practice.

But what exactly is reformer pilates and how does it differ to mat pilates? Well, reformer pilates is designed to engage every muscle of your body using a balance of weight resistance springs, a moving carriage, and lots of other exercise equipment.Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, professional Pilates instructor, Hollie Grant explains: “The reformer machine was originally designed by Joseph Pilates using rudimentary materials such as bed springs to help add a level of resistance to exercises.

Due to the resistance that is added by the springs in reformer pilates, it is significantly more intense and dynamic than mat pilates which primarily relies on body weight resistance.
