Reformer Pilates in Johns Creek, GA
One of the primary Pilates services we offer is Pilates Reformer.
The Pilates Reformer is a specialized piece of equipment that uses springs, a moving carriage, straps, and resistance to create a highly controlled exercise environment.
The Reformer allows exercises to be modified by adjusting resistance, positioning, range of motion, and level of difficulty.
Most One-on-One Pilates Sessions Are Performed on the Reformer
At Medical Fitness & Wellness Group, most of our one-on-one Pilates sessions are performed on the Reformer.
This gives our instructors the ability to provide individualized attention and adjust exercises based on the client’s goals, movement ability, strength, mobility, and experience level.
Reformer Pilates can be used to work on:
- Core strength
- Balance
- Flexibility
- Mobility
- Stability
- Coordination
- Postural awareness
- Body control
- Functional strength
- Overall movement quality
The Reformer can also provide an effective way to progress exercises as an individual’s strength and movement control improve.
Classical Pilates in Johns Creek, GA
In addition to Reformer Pilates, Medical Fitness & Wellness Group also offers Classical Pilates.
Classical Pilates follows the traditional Pilates method and incorporates many of the foundational exercises and principles developed from Joseph Pilates’ original system.
Classical Pilates emphasizes:
- Core control
- Concentration
- Precision
- Controlled breathing
- Centering
- Flow
- Full-body coordination
- Controlled movement
For individuals interested in experiencing the traditional Pilates method, Classical Pilates provides an opportunity to learn and practice the foundational principles of Pilates.
What Is the Difference Between Reformer Pilates and Classical Pilates?
Reformer Pilates and Classical Pilates are closely related, but they aren’t exactly the same thing.
Reformer Pilates uses the Pilates Reformer to add resistance and support to exercises. The equipment allows for a wide variety of movements and modifications.
Classical Pilates refers to the traditional Pilates method and its established sequence and principles. Classical Pilates may incorporate different Pilates equipment and mat-based exercises depending on the program.
At Medical Fitness & Wellness Group, we’re excited to offer both approaches, allowing clients to experience Pilates in a way that fits their individual goals.
7 Benefits of Pilates & Reformer Pilates
1. Build Core Strength
Pilates places a strong emphasis on the muscles surrounding the trunk, pelvis, and spine.
Developing core strength can provide an important foundation for movement, exercise, and everyday activities.
2. Improve Balance and Stability
Balance requires strength, coordination, mobility, and body awareness.
Pilates exercises can challenge these components in a controlled environment and may be particularly beneficial as part of a healthy-aging exercise program.
3. Improve Flexibility and Mobility
The controlled movements used in Pilates can help participants work on flexibility and mobility while simultaneously developing strength and body control.
4. Develop Functional Strength
Reformer Pilates allows resistance to be adjusted to create exercises that challenge different muscle groups.
This can make the Reformer an effective component of a comprehensive strength and functional fitness program.
5. Improve Body Awareness
Pilates encourages participants to pay attention to alignment, breathing, posture, muscle engagement, and movement control.
That emphasis on body awareness is one of the characteristics that makes Pilates different from many traditional workouts.
6. Low-Impact Exercise
Pilates is generally a low-impact form of exercise.
The Reformer provides support and resistance without requiring the repetitive impact associated with certain forms of exercise.
7. Support Healthy Aging
Maintaining strength, balance, mobility, flexibility, and coordination becomes increasingly important as we age.
Pilates can be incorporated into a healthy-aging fitness program designed to help individuals remain active and maintain physical function.
