Pilates Mat vs. Reformer

Mat:

  • You use your own body for resistance
  • Your core muscles work more efficiently to hold certain positions
  • Props may be used as well to enhance the exercise


Reformer:

  • Uses springs, pulleys, bars and straps to perform exercises
  • Can be an ideal alternative if you require frequent modifications on the mat
  •  Easier to increase resistance creating a more challenging workout for the advanced Pilates client

Frequently Asked Question:

"Will I lose weight with Pilates?"

Yes you can! Pilates moves the body in a way that optimizes circulation, betters digestion, and helps the lymphatic system work more efficiently - all critical factors in weight loss. What's more, an advanced 30-minute nonstop mat or reformer workout can burn up to 300 calories, rivaling the calorie expenditure of a gym workout.
