REFORM vs. Pilates: What’s the Difference?

XPERIENCE THE
DIFFERENCE

RESISTANCE

REFORM
Our state-of-the-art Xformer machines are equipped with eight adjustable springs, allowing for a wide range of resistance levels. This ensures that your muscles are continually challenged, no matter your strength level. The Xformer machine is designed to work with your joints, reducing stress and maximizing muscle engagement.

Pilates

Traditional Pilates reformers typically have only 4-5 springs, offering less variation in resistance. While they also reduce joint stress, they offer a more limited range of muscle toning.

RANGE OF MOTION

Both REFORM and traditional Pilates focus on maintaining proper form and keeping movements within a specific range of motion. This precision targets specific muscle groups, ensuring a safe and effective workout.

TEMPO

REFORM

Our method emphasizes slow, controlled movements with a tempo of at least 4 seconds in, 4 seconds out. By eliminating momentum, you maintain constant tension on your muscles, activating more muscle fibers, particularly the slow-twitch, fat-burning ones

Pilates

In Pilates, the emphasis is more on the flow and rhythm of transitions between movements, which can be less effective for muscle engagement.

DURATION

REFORM

Each set in our classes is performed for at least 60 seconds, targeting both fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Minimal transitions keep your muscles working and your heart rate elevated.

Pilates

Traditional Pilates involves sets composed of repetitions, with duration influenced by a specific breath pattern.
