We asked one of our newest clients to write about their reformer experience..Here is her story and yes she has stuck to her excercise regime and visits us for a class weekly!!
It has been a long standing fact that I do not stick to a regular exercise regime!! I’ve tried a few and generally feel that I need a trainer to lock me in a room or I need to be attached to some piece of equipment that I know I must stay on for an hour or so. Spinning was always a winner being great for my stress, aches and pains and boy did my legs feel numb afterwards!! A real workout!!
I practice yoga on a weekly basis, but it has become a more spiritual practice and the frustrations of not seeing body focused results left me wanting something more. So when someone mentioned I should try Reformer Pilates I was intrigued.. yes I would be attached to a piece of equipment for around about an hour and yes someone would keep me focused and working hard for that time also, but the thought of lying down on a bed to exercise instantly appealed to me.
Hands down and legs apart this is the most productive exercise I’ve done in a long time. It burns and hits the right spots, toning the core muscles to sculpt from head to toe. Some moves and positions burn more than others but you know the pain is short lived and achieving much more without pushing your energetic boundaries!!
I leave feeling energised and worked!! But little did I know the ‘workout feeling’ (pain) would continue for 2 -3 days after the session to the point that laughing and coughing was difficult. The toned results seemed almost instant with a tighter stomach and leaner legs - The burn is definitely outweighed by the results.. I’m most certainly hooked and reformed.
Why not try a reformer class for yourself…. www.pilatesk.co.uk/classdesc.html
