Reformer Pilates Classes in Caroline Springs
Level 1, 2-8 Lake Street Caroline Springs
Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates is a combination of traditional Pilates exercises with the strengthening and toning aspects of circuit training. Our classes have a maximum of 8 participants and are performed on a spring resistance apparatus called a reformer bed.
Our instructors will lead the group through a program of exercises, with modifications for those requiring it. The program includes abdominal exercises, legs and arms in straps, chest exercises, rowing, and seated exercises.
Reformer Pilates aims to target the whole body through continuous, precise, controlled movements. These functional exercises engage the core while delivering cardiovascular conditioning. Allow 60 minutes for each class.
We have 3 different types of Classes
Open Class - For ‘all’ levels. Beginner friendly.
Jump Board Class - For ‘all’ levels. Beginner friendly.
Dynamic Class- For Intermediates. A more advanced class.
Open Class
This class is perfect if you are a beginner to Reformer Pilates. It is suitable for ALL levels of fitness including beginners, those with pre-existing conditions, and pre/postnatal.
Dynamic Class
Recommended for Intermediates or for those that have done Reformer Pilates for six months or more. It uses the Pilates Reformer machines, combining cardio intervals to get your heart pumping while you balance, strengthen, lengthen, tone, and stretch yourself. An engaging class and slightly more challenging. Not recommended for those pre/postnatal or with a pre-existing condition.
Private 1:1 Classes
Private sessions are particularly valuable when you are just beginning Pilates or if you are looking for an individual program. In particular, those looking to rehabilitate, recover from an injury, pregnant or postnatal.
In a 1:1 Pilates session, your instructor will discuss and guide you through a series of exercises selected to meet your wellness and training goals. Allow 30 minutes for your session.
Before beginning at our Studio we recommend booking a 1:1 private session, to properly assess you and understand your needs.
The jumpboard is a padded plate that replaces the foot bar on the reformer and provides an excellent and non-weight bearing method to increase your heart rate. This class will aim to get your heart rate up and get you sweating! The jumpboard class is safe and is much easier on the joints compared to running. It is considered low impact, meaning there will be no jarring of the knee joints. You are “jumping” while lying down.

Pregnancy
Before you start a class, it is important to remember that each pregnancy is different and these guidelines are only a basic prescription to exercising safely. Always consult your doctor for advice regarding your pregnancy and before getting started.
How much you trained pre-pregnancy, any pre-existing health conditions, your age and fitness level will pre-determine what you’ll be able to do in our class.
We do not recommend doing Reformer Pilates during your first trimester; weeks 1-12.
If you HAVE NOT done Reformer Pilates prior to your pregnancy, we recommend a 1:1 assessment/session with one of our instructors before commencing our group classes.
If you HAVE done Reformer Pilates prior to being pregnant, we ask that you arrive early and have a chat to our instructor before beginning the class.
Our 'Open class' is open to people of 'ALL' levels of fitness, so there will be exercises within the class that won't be suitable for you to do, and an alternate exercise will be given or you will be asked to rest during this time.
During our classes, the following should be AVOIDED:
Lying flat on your back
Lying on your stomach.
Abdominal Crunches
Rotational movements that collapse the space of the womb.
Holding your breath
Pushing movements or isometric exercises that cause your abs to bulge or peak outwards.
Fast movements. Your centre of gravity just isn’t what it was before.
Remember to move slowly on the carriage. Be in your own zone, forget what the person next to you is doing, and move slowly.
Rapid changes in position. Be mindful of balance and coordination challenges, as well as changes to blood pressure with rapid changing movements.
High impact. We recommend going at an intensity level of no more than 70% of your maximum effort, as well as ensuring pelvic floor safety.
Above all else, listen to your body and always consult your doctor!
