What is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is, simply, Pilates practiced on the method’s best-known and most recognizable machine: the Reformer. Designed with a moveable carriage and adjustable spring-loaded resistance, the Reformer supports the body through a wide range of motion, making challenging exercises more accessible and adding difficulty as they become easier. At JOY, we use state-of-the-art Merrithew Reformers, known for their refined design, superior craftsmanship, and consistently smooth movement.
In our Reformer Pilates classes, you’ll build strength, improve balance and flexibility, and develop greater body awareness through intentional movement. And because everyone in class, whether they’re a beginner or competition-level athlete, is moving, learning, and engaging together, there is an energy and camaraderie that makes working hard feel genuinely enjoyable.
One machine. Countless ways to move.
