Reformer (additional cost)

What is Reformer?

Reformer uses a purpose-built machine with springs, ropes, and a sliding carriage to add controlled resistance to every movement.

This allows you to:

• Target muscles more effectively than traditional mat workouts
• Move with control and stability
• Adjust intensity to suit your fitness level

Every exercise is slow, focused, and guided. Helping you get more from every movement.

Why try Reformer?

Whether you’re new to fitness or looking to level up your training, Reformer offers a unique set of benefits:

Build full-body strength - Engage muscles you didn’t even know you had, especially through your core.

Improve posture and alignment - Great for counteracting long hours sitting at a desk.

Increase flexibility and mobility - Move more freely and reduce stiffness.

Low impact, high results - Gentle on joints, making it ideal for recovery, beginners, or anyone avoiding high-impact workouts.

What to expect in a class

Each session blends strength, control, and flow in a supportive environment.

You can expect:

• Guided instruction from trained coaches
• A mix of core work, strength training, and mobility exercises
• Smooth, controlled movements (no rushing, no impact)
• A workout that challenges you at your own pace

Classes range from calm and controlled sessions to more dynamic, high-energy formats — so you can choose what suits your goals.

Is it right for me?

Yes! Reformer is designed for all levels.

1. Beginners: Learn the fundamentals in a safe, supportive setting
2. Regular gym-goers: Add variety and improve functional strength
3. Injury recovery / low-impact needs: Train without unnecessary strain
4. Experienced movers: Challenge stability, control, and precision

If you’ve never tried it before, this is the perfect place to start.

Studio etiquette

To keep the studio safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone, we ask all clients to follow a few simple guidelines:

• No shoes on the reformer beds
• Grip socks must be worn at all times
• Please arrive 5–10 minutes early, especially for your first class
• Late entry may not be permitted once the class has started (for safety reasons)
• Wipe down equipment after use if requested by your instructor
• Let your instructor know about any injuries or concerns before class

What to wear & bring to your Reformer class

Getting ready for your first reformer class? Don’t worry, you don’t need much. Just come prepared to move comfortably and we’ll take care of the rest.

What to wear

We recommend comfortable, fitted workout clothing that allows you to move freely.

• Leggings, shorts, or joggers with a t-shirt or vest work perfectly
• Avoid anything too loose, as it can get caught in the equipment
• Layers are a good idea, you may warm up quickly once the class begins

Grip Socks (Essential)

For hygiene and safety, grip socks are required in all reformer classes. They help you stay stable on the machine and prevent slipping during movements.

Don’t have a pair? No problem, we sell grip socks on-site so you can pick some up before your class.

What to bring

• A water bottle to stay hydrated
• Minimal personal items (lockers are recommended where available)
• All equipment is provided, and our instructors will guide you through everything you need to know.
