If you're new to Pilates, starting with mat Pilates can be a great entry point to get to know the principles and movements involved. Mat Pilates requires minimal equipment and focuses on exercises performed on a mat, utilizing body weight for resistance. It helps develop core strength and body awareness. Pilates is ideal in combination with some kind of cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, running, aerobics or aqua fitness, and is a great complement to a weight training program or athletic training.

A Pilates Reformer is a versatile and dynamic Pilates machine that facilitates precise movements, muscle engagement, and body alignment.

Once you've established a foundation with Mat Pilates, transitioning to Reformer Pilates will provide an exciting and dynamic progression in your practice.
