"So, will Reformer Pilates get me better results than Mat Based Pilates?"
The short answer is YES. Reformer has been proven to excel results. This is partly due to the way our bodies respond to the feedback the reformer machines give us. The Reformer machines can also support us to make movement more focused and controlled as well as adding an extra element of strength work using the springs and pulleys to add resistance.
Mat based Pilates is still one of the best ways to improve posture, balance, core stability and muscle strength and tone. The Reformer simply takes the Pilates method and it's fundamentals and enhances these benefits.
