CLAREMONT & SEA POINT
Our Reformer classes focus on endurance and core strength while improving the body’s stamina and agility. As the Reformer is an extremely versatile machine – we offer a variety of classes on it, ranging from beginner to classes aimed at the elite athlete.
Our Reformer Fundamental classes focus on an introduction to the machine and the grounding STOTT PILATES principles. Our Reformer Fundamentals classes are pre and postnatal friendly. Reformer Elevate is an intermediate, fast-paced class that challenges the full body. Our most intense classes are Dynamic Reformer classes – music driven and guaranteed to make you sweat! Dynamic Reformer is a strength based class focused on a combination of functional body weight movements fused together with the classical Reformer repertoire. It is recommended that you try a Fundamentals/ Elevate class prior to joining a Dynamic Reformer class.
