health benefits of a regular
Reformer Pilates practice is

It’s also a type of exercise
that can be good for anyone,
from prenatal women to elite
athletes, any age, male or
female. So why isn’t everyone
doing it? And better yet, why
isn’t every fitness professional
jumping at the chance to
instruct it?
Perhaps it is because Reformer
Pilates isn’t new. In fact, it’s
been around since the late
1920s. Originally created for
rehabilitation, early forms of
Reformer Pilates were used to
treat soldiers returning from
war or dancers to help them
strengthen their bodies and
ease aches and pains. And
since then, it’s stood the test
of time.

Reformer Pilates is most
certainly not an exercise fad. It’s
a well-rounded form of exercise
that can improve posture,
muscle tone, balance, joint
mobility, whole body strength
and, most importantly, it can
help stave off injury.
