A Pilates Reformer is a versatile and dynamic Pilates machine that facilitates precise movements, muscle engagement, and body alignment. The Reformer consists of a sliding carriage, equipped with adjustable springs, pulleys, straps, and a foot bar. These components work together to create a unique resistance system that enables a wide range of exercises and variations ensuring a strong core and overall well-being. Once you've established a foundation with Mat Pilates, transitioning to Reformer Pilates will provide an exciting and dynamic progression in your practice.

Developed by Juliu Horvath, the GYROKINESIS® method is a modern exercise system that increases spinal mobility in all directions. It incorporates movements on a mat, stool or chair with an emphasis on circular and wavelike motions of the body.

The GYROTONIC method is an original and unique movement method that addresses the entire person by opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and improving strength and movement efficiency. With Gyrotonic exercises, each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring or compression. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

The GYROTONIC method utilizes specialized equipment to guide, assist and challenge the exerciser.
