Pilates Reformer Class

Pilates Reformer Class (Pilates Reformer/Springboard Machines) Joseph Pilates originally developed a series of mat exercises designed to build abdominal strength and body control. In his words, The Pilates Method "develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.' He was way ahead of his time, viewing the body holistically and emphasizing its capacity to work as a whole unit.

Pilates eventually built various pieces of equipment to enhance the results and to replace himself as a spotter for his clients. One of these machines is called the Pilates Reformer. Here at Providence Health and Fitness we have three Pilates Reformers and one Cadillac machine. The Reformer is complemented by the Springboard that is attached to the wall (the tower on the machine).

This class is taught as an open level class with modifications for the beginner and variations for the advanced. The class is a semi-private group lesson limited to three individuals.

The fee for this class is $45.00 as a drop-in or $35.00 if you purchase a series of 10 to be used at anytime. You can register online to secure your spot. As Joseph Pilates used to say: "After 10 sessions you'll notice a difference, after 20 sessions other people will notice a difference, after 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body."
