Mat vs. Reformer Pilates?
May 27th
Question by artofserendipity: Mat vs. Reformer Pilates?
I was wondering how essential the reformer and other equipment is in pilates. I have decided to start pilates because I suffer from lower back pain and wanted to strenghten my abs and other muscles to help. Also, I am interested in toning my muscles. I took my first class last week at a pilates studio that offers classes for 3 people at a time at $ 25 a class. The studio had the reformer, the allegro tower, and some other equipment I don’t know about yet. However, my gym also offers pilates classes which are free with membership. My gym does not have the reformer, and the pilates offered is strictly mat pilates. I was wondering if anyone had any opinion as to the importance of the reformer or other pilates equipment. If I will get better results for my back pain using the equipment it might be worth the cost, but I don’t want to have to spend extra if the pilates method can be experienced without the equipment.
Best answer:
Answer by I Know
The equipment is not essential at all. The reformer and cadillac generally make the exercises easier to do. Matwork is the most physically challenging way to do Pilates.
I strongly advise agaist taking classes at the gym. You get what you pay for. Pilates trainers at gyms are not known for having very good Pilates training. Also, certified Pilates trainers are trained to work with injured people, which would be a big plus for you, I would think.
I will say that $ 25 sounds pricey for a mat class. I’m guessing that that is the highest price they charge, and that you could get a better deal if you purchased more than 1 class. That is how it works at the studio I work out at anyways. I buy 10 mat classes at a time for $ 150.

Lunge on the Pilates Reformer for Release of Tight Hip Flexors, Core Strength, and a Long Spine
May 20th
An effective lunge is very different from a runner’s stretch. Here you will witness that the woman does not extend the leg back behind her – she uses her heels and the balls of the feet to deepen the thigh bone into the hip joint. This deepening of the femur bone into the joint releases the hip flexor, and the ITB or ilio tibial band. In addition, she is able to lengthen both her lumbar spine and her thoracic and cervical spine because she is upright, and not hunched over as she would be in a typical runner’s stretch. For more core information: www.pilatesiconoclast.typepad.com – see core category Or go to www.backboneandwingspan.com and see the Narrative A Sampling of Stretches I’m here for your healing through heeling – Tim Driscoll – Backbone and Wingspan – A Unique System of Exercise and Posture Principles for Better Understanding and Support of the Spine

Pilates Reformer Benefits – Getting Great Abs
May 14th
Pilates Reformer Benefits – Getting Great Abs
The Pilates Reformer benefits your body’s appearance and strength because it was designed to do so by Joseph Pilates the founder of Pilates. It was specifically designed for you to work on your core strength giving you great abs, with flexibility and alignment in a controlled way.
The Reformer continues to be used by many professional athletes in training and for re-habilitation particulary after joint injuries, something Joseph Pilates design was inspired by.
The great thing about the modern Pilates Reformer is that the designs have been altered to make use of modern design and construction methods. Whereas once you had all the problems of taking a trip to the gym or Pilates studio to use a reformer, now you have one to use at home.
You are still probably going to get the best out of Pilates Reformer exercises by being taught by a trained instructor. Taking a class in Pilates, where they use the Reformer for example, is probably the best way to go. If you can’t or don’t want to attend a class there are also books and better still DVDs or videos that show you how to use this machine.
The older designs are very well suited to a commercial environment, but they are big and can look a bit like an instrument of torture, with a big wooden frame, bars and leather straps. However for most people it is not the sort of thing they want at home, they want to buy the swish modern designs that do the same job but look a whole lot better.
Looking good and staying healthy has never been more important in today’s hectic lifestyle. If you don’t want to miss out on the benefits of the Pilates Reformer, having one at home can be one way to go. Pilates exercises and machines help you stay fit, look healthier and stay younger looking. Now you can see the Pilates Reformer benefits here.
