Reformer Pilates is a form of Pilates performed on a spring-based machine designed to support controlled, precise movement. The Reformer uses a moving carriage, adjustable springs, straps, and pulleys to create resistance or assistance depending on your needs. This setup allows you to build strength, stability, and coordination with accuracy.
At The Collective Club Ubud, Reformer Pilates focuses on intentional training rather than fast-paced repetition. Classes suit beginners and experienced practitioners alike, with clear instruction, alignment-focused cueing, and a structured approach that helps you move better — not just harder.
Key Benefits of Reformer Pilates
Builds Strength and Supports Posture
Reformer Pilates strengthens the core, back, glutes, and legs, helping you maintain better posture and movement efficiency throughout the day.
Improves Mobility Without Losing Control
The combination of resistance and lengthening improves joint mobility while maintaining muscular support. This makes it ideal for people who feel stiff from prolonged sitting or repetitive activity.
Enhances Balance and Coordination
Each exercise requires controlled movement and steady breath, improving overall coordination and body awareness over time.
Helps Reduce Back Tension
By strengthening stabilising muscles and improving alignment, many clients experience reduced lower back discomfort and better spinal support.
Adaptable for Recovery and Strength Building
Adjustable spring resistance allows sessions to match your ability, making Reformer Pilates suitable for rebuilding strength, easing tension, or returning to movement after injury.
What Your First Reformer Pilates Class Is Like
Rather than memorising exercises, your first sessions focus on understanding how your body moves on the Reformer.
Establishing Neutral Alignment
Instructors guide you through finding a neutral spine and pelvis so each movement starts from a stable foundation.
Learning the Equipment
You’ll learn how the carriage moves, how spring resistance works, and how to use straps safely. This knowledge builds confidence and control.
Developing Strong Movement Habits
Classes emphasise muscle activation, stability, and precise transitions. Slower pacing allows you to feel each movement clearly.
Receiving Personal Guidance
Instructors offer hands-on or verbal cues to refine alignment and ensure you move safely and effectively.
Progressing Gradually
Each class flows at a steady pace, allowing strength, coordination, and confidence to build naturally over time.

-
Wear fitted, comfortable clothing
-
Focus on technique rather than speed
-
Use your breath to support control
